SR240Z Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I posted on my blog about my friends new site he just put up and were just getting him some feedback on what to change or what us car guys would like to see.

19762802+2 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I like the Real Men shift one I like the layout of the site pretty simple but most of the shirts seem sort of ricer to me, like I would see some kid in a rattle can slammed honda civic wearing. But that's just me and not trying to be a negative nancy but otherwise the shirts look clean and simple and I like that. Overall good job.

SR240Z Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 No problem on the negativity, I'm just helping him get feedback to make his shirt designs or layout even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSM Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 1. I'm dumb (so I'm assuming lots of other people are to) what does FTW mean? You may want to spell the acronym out for moms and whomever may be trying to understand. Assuming you want to sell to a niche market you may not care, but don't limit yourself. Does it mean "For the Win" or "F-ck the World"? Had a negative meaning in the past. Spell it out. 2. When your at the bottom of the page and hit the next page it leaves you at the bottom. The user should be brought to the top of the page not left down at the bottom looking at white space. 3. I kept getting a bunch of "404 Page not found errors" when clicking around the site. Actually had to backspace all the way to the typed URL. 4. Should the start page of the site be Shirt page? 5. On the contact page I would move the text that is barely readable with the Name, email and message as black next to it. I had to move close to the screen at first to see it. Why make a user strain and you have the real estate so why not use it? I asked my wife who was standing up if she could read the text and she thought I was crazy. She had to bend down to see it. 5. As a customer if the business is real I want a phone number! I can't stand sites that I can't get in contact with someone. Make me feel special! 6. I haven't a clue what the Promote page is for? 7. You should have an about page, giving some background and such about what your company is trying to sell, promote, mission statement, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Does it mean "For the Win" or "F-ck the World"? Had a negative meaning in the past. Spell it out. Agree with JSM..seems like there is some contradiction. Does FWD and Turbo mean double FTW? Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I love how sites bury phone numbers, blah! I too do not know what ftw means, I could look it up, however, I would spend my time going somewhere else. Now I will go look at the site;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Over all, simple and clean. Easy to navigate, advertising controlled. Like the play on pics and words, simple and to the point, still do not know what ftw means. Hopefully it dose not mean f..k anything, mostly because the shirts show class and intelligent.

tfreer85 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 The website is okay. I think he needs to focus a little more on his website layout and navigation. I know he's trying to offer a product, but having a "splash" page describing the site, the product, etc. I think would be better than a direct link to the products page. It seems he's new to website creation just based off of the look and feel of it. And if he's not a website designer or have a fair amount of experience tell him to switch to something like wordpress or weebly or wix. The reason I say this is because it helps make the website look professional vs. a kid selling shirts in the backyard. Last but not least he should offer a gimmick (i.e. group buy, discounts for forwarding to friends, etc.) Just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letitsnow Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 FTW = For the Win The VTEC FTW shirt is pretty tempting, I'm just afraid people would take it seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rolling Parts Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 FTW = Fort Worth since 1849. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR240Z Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 Thank you to everyone who actually contributed to the criticism. I will be forwarding the replies to my friend so he can progress from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR240Z Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 He has updated the site and took most all your feedback into account, check it out again and please feel free to comment. There is a new Z shirt on there as well as a few others; he also decided to offer much more colors. The new URL is: http://www.jdmthreads.com (currently re-directs to jdmftw.com for the meantime) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittie Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Saw this thread and just bought the heel and toe and the z shirt... These would be the only 2 good shirts imo tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR240Z Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 I'm gonna have to get one of the new panda shirts for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators RTz Posted December 31, 2009 Administrators Share Posted December 31, 2009 In terms of product, I'm with Whittie... the heal/toe and Z shirt are the only shirts I wouldn't be embarrassed to wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
