Try using a flat skype logo like this

and have it hyperlink like this

skype:MayflowerElectronics?call

 

give the map a non fixed map width and perhaps give it a border?

replace Welcome to Mayflower Electronics in the footer with a copyright?

Change red accents to aqua to match the logo?

The logo doesn't seem to scale very well on mobile devices. If you use developer tools on chrome and enable mobile emulation you will be able to see for yourself what needs fixing. I suggest you use an SVG for the logo and have it set to 100% width in your stylesheet.

Yeah that's being worked on as well.

The website ambiance is nice.

Keep the text on one side of the map and have the form on top

or even better have the contact form to the left of the map (60% form 40% map)

and dont forget to change these to images hosted on your server even if they are the same

<link id="snpshpwp_favicon" rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.shindiristudio.com/snapshop/shop-boxed/wp-content/themes/snapshopWP/images/snpshpwp_favicon.png" type='image/x-icon'><link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="http://www.shindiristudio.com/snapshop/shop-boxed/wp-content/themes/snapshopWP/images/snpshpwp_favicon.png" type="image/png"><link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="http://www.shindiristudio.com/snapshop/shop-boxed/wp-content/themes/snapshopWP/images/snpshpwp_favicon.png" type="image/png"><link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="http://www.shindiristudio.com/snapshop/shop-boxed/wp-content/themes/snapshopWP/images/snpshpwp_favicon.png" type="image/png"><link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="144x144" href="http://www.shindiristudio.com/snapshop/shop-boxed/wp-content/themes/snapshopWP/images/snpshpwp_favicon.png" type="image/png">

Also a live chat is essential.

Looks decent. Unfortunately the DACs are a little bit out of my price range or I'd get one. (10x more) 

 

For some reason I am getting a low FPS... Might be me or the website. Loaded pretty quickly.

 

Thank you for not storing card info. A+

This is weird without audio, maybe change to a slideshow of products?

 

Other than that, very nice and professional.

The top Logo and bottom logo
Logos are fine.

Price Ranges:
I can't say much if the items are too expensive or not. But what I would like to say instead is I think it's better to list down the product model with the price beside it. As least personally for me I prefer it this way so that I don't have to go to another page, especially since the site is experiencing speed issues at the moment when going to another page.

Texts at the bottom:
About the menu at the bottom: About Us...Submit Feedback you should relocated some at the top menu like the My Account Option and Blog they seem out of place.

This also goes the same for the Search textbox at the footer, it seems out of place try relocating it at the top of the footer or at least try changing its background color to something closer to the footer's background color. It's also too short, try to maximize the available width for that cell. I assume you used tables to align those elements(I didn't look at the HTML code).

Review Page:
Written versions needed at the index page, a short few sentences would be nice just to get the interest of potential customers. Maybe located it just at the bottom of the item's image(basically as a caption).

Speed's fine except when being redirected to another page like the review page.

[MayflowerElectronics]

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I'll send this thread over to the developer. I'll be back in a few days with a new thread and we'll see what else needs to be tweaked. This is version 1.0 so a lot needs to be worked on

[burnttoastnice]

The website looks amazing so far. In addition to @thekeemo 's point about the About Us page, the video could maybe have audio triggered by clicking it. I also couldn't get the "go to top" button to work at the bottom of the page.

[prolemur]

The scroll to top button in the footer doesn't work

[WhyKickAmooCow]

Personally I like sites that take up the whole width of my screen. 

 

Other than that keeping to one animation (preferably simple) for the slideshow and maybe a higher res branding image and a static homebar thing (the one with home | About | Products) and maybe the pictures of products grey scaling when mouse is hovered above it. Also for featured items maybe having a horizontal sliding list similar to that of http://www.amazon.com 's related items bar so that you can fit more items in and make less site navigation necessary. Making the search function on the frontpage an on mouse hover like the rest of the bar would be nice instead of having to click and maybe having it expand to the right instead of having a dropdown and possibly having the dropdowns for the menu animated instead of a sudden appearance.

To increase loading times you should eliminate all inline CSS and JS, this will allow browsers to cache the content of the files (less data transfer on each request). Combining CSS and JS into less files would also increase performance.

JS should also be loaded just before the closing <body> tag to make the site feel like it loads faster (loading JS files in the <head> section become render-blocking as they need to be loaded first, which makes the site seem slower).

 

Also, the placeholder in the search bar at the bottom isn't properly vertically/horizontally aligned, and the "Search" button doesn't lineup with the search box. Kind of a preference thing, but I would make the search bar there span the whole column.

 

EDIT: Noticed that you have "Autocomplete = 'off'" for your login form, why? There's no reason why the form shouldn't allow autocomplete.

1. "Welcome to Mayflower Electronics" at the bottom is kind of weird, I would say just delete that and move the scroll to top button to the strip above with Submit Feedback and all that.

 

2. The submit feedback etc line should be centered.

 

3. The clearfix div seems really out of place. It might be better under the main page logo.\

 

4. The cart button says "Your shopping cart is empty Why not add some items in our Shop", I think it might be more clear with punctuation "Your shopping cart is empty. Why not add some items in our Shop?" Also its hard to tell the "Shop" part is a link. Try underlining it or something.

 

It looks great though, much better than the old one.
