Feedback wanted for new website

    Here is the reponse I got from the website developer.
    Hi Craig, The site should work fine on an iPad. The site has been tested using http://ipadpeek.com/ as well as the Safari web browser under the iPad setting (same one used on the iPad). The iPad will need to have javascript turned on (which it would need for most popular sites).  This can be turned on by: * Tap Settings from the Home screen
    * Select Safari from the Settings menu
    * Touch the "JavaScript" toggle to turn on it.

     
    If there is a specific error or issue that he is receiving on his iPad, let me know and I'll see if I can locate the cause.

    Worked on our IPad.

    I liked the looks of the site. Not very tech savy but seemed great to me.

    Why the different name?

    A few reasons.
    90% of the people out there cant spell Anemones, and the less people have to type into the address heading, the better.

    I tested the site on my iPhone and everything looks good.

    The scrolling pics were very distracting when trying to read the home page. Perhaps make that static with a scroll bar or arrow for more pics.

    Still no luck on my iPad. Page comes up black with a "get adobe flash" icon to click on. JavaScript is on

    ok

    We listened and made a bunch of changes including nixing the scrolling pictures.

    Remember none of the products are live, just place holders for now.

    When you click on the you tube link you activate the clowns and corals icon. Not sure if thats something that is supposed to be working yet or not.

    +1 Latin names.
    It just makes product research easier. If i know what I'm buying, I'm more likely to buy

    Well looking it over I notice there are no hours of operation or days open. Other than that it looks great

    I think the days/hours of operations along with the phone number should be on the main page so you don't have to click on a link to find it. Just my opinion but the name is too small and water background is distracting to look at. Maybe adjust the transparency to fade it out a bit?

    Thanks for all the feedback so far.

    We are taking things into consideration and changing some things. Note the scrolling pictures dont scroll anymore, latin names on fish.

    The main focus of the site is for a national audience so we can be a national website shipping our stuff all over the nation. That is why we dont have the hours, address, and phone promimently displayed yet.

    I should warn people now, on dry goods, dont expect everything on the site to be in the store. Many of our suppliers have agreed to dropship bigger or more specialty items when we sell them.

    +1 on water background. I really don't like it at all. Too distracting.

    The drop ship is a great idea saves on costs to you and the customer. I understand about the national audience.

    Looks pretty good Craig. the only thing that i would change would be a name change on the Mandarin Goby to Mandarin Dragonet,it just sounds cooler
    and it is it's true name.
