Well done Ang. It's a swell looking site. I wish you great success.

I have a question, will you be extending the size range eventually? The fashions are great and I would gladly save up to buy a few pieces on the site (and as you get more styles over time probably more and more) but I am not able to wear "normal" sizes any more. I'm a plus size gal.

I also know that I at least an willing to pay for clothing I like in my size much more readily than anything at Lane Bryant or the other generic stores that don't really care for taste that are around. (Yes there are good plus size stores available but not all of them keep the needs of the wheels in mind either)

hi ang,

i'm so proud of you. this is great. i wish you so much success.

i hope you don't get angry with me for saying this but i had trouble seeing the details of some of the clothes. i couldn't see the pants at all they blended in with the black background. the items are beautiful, but a little hard to view since the background was black and a lot of the clothes are dark.

i am so proud of you for what all you are accomplishing. you may not agree with me on this. i hope i haven't offended you. i think your'e tops.

Thank you GB.

Tex -- are you talking about tops and bottoms or one thing in particular?? If you want to message me your size I will let you know what we can do I'm all about flexibility and helping as much as I can. And yes other clothing will be added SOON!!

[TextualFury]

All of the above. Let me look again, though it will be a bit before I can actually buy something so we have time.

No offense taken at all! Did you scroll over the pictures with your mouse?? It will instantaneously zoom in for more details of the fabrics. Wherever your mouse goes the picture will follow

tex,

as you check out. she states on the site that she will do custom sizes for an additional $10.00 so it looks like you can get any of the items in your size.

thanks for the suggestion it helps and that is cool how that works. there were only a couple of items that were hard to view the majority of the items showed well.

[TextualFury]

I missed that bit. Thank you! She and I have a good conversation going via PM about it now too, though the PM system is doing strange and mysterious things on my end.

[Texas Angel Ang]

Thanks Karen! I'll be adding that to the site about the mouse/zoom situation. Yes there is a $10 fee for custom work.

[Apparelyzed]

Hi Ang,

Looking good, but can I add a few suggestions ...

Your homepage needs a load of text writing for it to place under the main photograph, containing your keywords and phrases associated with your target market. It needs to make sense, but try to include all relevant phrases associated. Maybe take a look at your competitors to see what they have used. Here's an example of titles and text content: Link.

Most of your customers will probably come from Google, so your pages need to be set up to get a nice high position in the search results.

Your page title needs to reflect your target, such as "Disability Fashion & Clothing Ranges".

Your Individual pages need similar titles to reflect their content.

The Title "Heelswithwheels", is not going to be searched for by many people, however, "Female Clothing for Wheelchair Users" probably will.

Also, in your categories, add a small amount of description text and a link for the customer to follow, next to, or below the photographs, through to the shopping cart.

You need to lead the customer through your site, and get them to the Cart.

Regards

Simon.

[Texas Angel Ang]

Thanks Simon... all the suggestions are very helpful!!!

[ClaraTaylor]

Ditto Jim! See Above.

Also, make sure you use <H> tags to format your text, and if the text is too big, modify it in your cascading style sheet. Remember to only use <H1> once in your on page title, and then use <H2> in your sub titles.

Google loves text, it's what it uses identify a websites relevancy to a search term.

The <Title> tag not only shows in the top of your browser window, but appears in the title of any search engine results titles. The Description meta tag is the text which appears under search results title, so it's very important.

Apparelyzed ranks high for terms such as Paraplegic, Quadriplegic, Spinal Injury etc, because the site is optimised for those phrases and keywords.

You can have the best looking website in the world, but if no one can find it, it's of little use. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) helps get you found in the search engines.

Simon

[Texas Angel Ang]

Again thanks everyone -- rue you are too funny lol. Send them my way haha.

Simon thank you so much for all the info... my friend is helping me out with the website and we are both learning at the same time. As soon as I can afford a "real" web designer we are both learning together. She's done an amazing job... but she is having carpal tunnel issues and also runs her own foundation. We both have an understanding that she is not my FULL-TIME WEB DESIGNER... so again thank you for all the help!!!
