A mock up website for a gift store I am working on.

It will most likely be ported to a CMS to allow customers to log in and order etc...

Hope you like it and if you see anything you would change please comment! :)

***Updated*** Just a few tweaks - most recommended by lethalogica! :)

This is a great improvement over your earlier work, nice job. :)

Some things I would change though. I know you're trying to use that nice font as much as you can, but a very small percent of the website audience will have that font, so if you want to use it somewhere it would be an image. So it's fine for headers, logos, image buttons and the like. But for menu items and headers you might want to go with a more standard font.

With the menu you should vertically center the text and maybe move it a little further from the left. It looks a little cramped when flush up to the side.

Your footer looks very cramped down there, make the block a little bigger, give the menu and the copywrite a bit of a gap between them, and change the text of the copywrite so it doesn't look identical to the menu links. Maybe something a little bigger and a little more faded.

I know it's a work in progress but some example images in the "personal care" etc boxes would really make the design look more complete and impressive when showing it to people. I know it's annoying to find them, I hate it too, but make the effort, it's worth it for the impact they give.

Hmm, one more thing. The left side of the design is very colourful and spiced up with images, but then the right would be all black and white. Maybe something like a faded christmassy background image for your title text for the boxes could give it a bit of niceness.

Anyway this comment has gone on long enough, good luck with the design. :)

Thank you VERY much for the great comment. I will definitely have a look at all those points! Very constructive and make sense. Its good to have an outsiders point of view.

You definitely lead by example with some awesome site layouts in your portfolio. (Which I am currently watching! :P)

So thanks again & merry Christmas!
