How large is the cookie? The same size as Hardee’s? Or smaller? And how many pieces in each jar, ten?

Slow loading, quite a few typos, grammatical errors in the 2 paragraphs under ‘Profile’, music doesnt loop well.

A lot of work has gone into it but the site just doesnt seem polished enough

..Chocolate sauce… brownies… mmmm…

laish bas tsawoon 7ag Mark o Nat Oreo cookies??
make me Snickers ones and call it iNoor

brighten my dad LOL and maybe my dad too 😛
Having sugar boost at work really works heehee

cool redesigning, I hate flash most of the time, but for your website is ok. the website much better looking now . however, you should consider adding a music off button somewhere, because its loud. keep the cookies coming!

sorry but the design sucks, there is no concept its a bunch of redundant repetition with different colors. the intro isnt really an intro, its too streched forcing everyone to see the whole variety and i agree with KtheKuwaiti, it lacks alot of information and lacks the visual hierarchy, but right now its a mess that the designer claims it to be design. check diesel.com and see how things dont get to be a mess.

Good design I must say, I just have a couple of comments.

– Since you gave the visitors the option to decrease/increase the sound in the intro. page, I think you should also give the option of disabling the music altogether. A turn on/off button for the music should be there!

– I think if the cookies presented in the intro. were clickable and each one takes you to a page which gives you more information about that cookie, it would really be much better..

– Also in the main page when you enter the cookies section and get the list of the 11 different cookies available, you cannot go further to know more about the cookies available! As K.TheKuwaiti said, the website is kind of lacking information! There should be more information about the cookies you guys offer.

Overall, the design is really good but the site can be more informative if a thing or two were added.

@choowygoowy,
As you don’t have a brick-and-mortar presence, I assume you want to use the website to drive traffic to generate orders. If my assumption is correct, then you are not achieving your objective.
1. The slow flash-enabled site means most people (read:potential customers) who are on a slow link will give your site a pass.
2. The focus should be on the products, and not the site. So when I log in, I expect to see something like “This month’s special – Mark & Nat 18 cookies for the price of 12 – BUY NOW!”. I don’t want to waste my time watching a pretty intro.
BTW, in my entire life browsing websites, I have never come across a site where I said “ooooohhh, what a pretty intro. let me sit and watch this”.
lose the intro.
3. As other have said, focus on the products – provide hyperlinks, photos, nutritional info etc.

take a look at ‘order online’ page..

-Working hours:
from 8 tell 12 & 5 tell 9

someone must tell them to fix it to ’till’ lol

Mark ring em up..

cookies*

wel cajie as u can see alot of people are loving the website so there are difftent of intrest , and diffrent taste , if in ur flife you have never seen a perfect intro that can make u go ( ooooh ) then we cant make things perfect because nothing is ! choowygoowy is a fun profcut our theme and concept is amazing people love it , and u said nothing makes u want the cookies or we are not concentrating on the cookies just see the intro again and se how everysingle kind we gave its on theme , just go easy on us man ;p nothing is perfect ,

ChoowyGoowy:
I agree with Cajie, I don’t know many people that would watch a flash intro again (or even the first time).

And the issue with flash is that its hard to make modifications to the design (unless you are DB driven). You would need to redo the website if you add a new product/flavor.

IMO, ditch the flash website .. switch to a dynamic page (PHP/ASP). A few of the benefits are that you can easily add/modify the information on your site and keep track of customers (including their previous orders).

I agree with the opinions to ditch the flash intro. E-commerce sites do not use flash, period. Look at Amazon.com. You can use flash for your ads if any, but not for the e-commerce site itself. People are there to (hopefully) buy your products and not to admire the skills of the site designer.

In short, your site is essentially an ad for the web designer. He is using you to promote himself. Don’t be a sucker and ask him to remove the “Desined by R&D” label or ask him to pay for it.

Cheers

flash = slow
flash = not seo (search engine optimization)

i agree with cajie and k.kuwaiti. flash is not a good choice. you should consider to make a html pages.

use xhtml and css, you can still keep your site theme and user doesn’t have to wait toooo long till the animation loaded.

Zabo0o6a.. To get to a state you are in, needs an appeal to buy and actually buy.

Its all about that.
