Thanks jscore! We're in the process of a redesign that will greatly simplify the whole thing, but I will see what I can do in the short term to make it more obvious what we sell. Thanks again :-]

look at the site with fresh eyes. Load the homepage and only allow yourself to read the most obvious 5 words on it. What do you read? At the moment when I do that, I read: "plurty cart checkout light gloves". Just put a nice bright tagline under plurty that says "Number 1 for rave lights" and bam!

  Great idea! Love the critiques :-D

  First thing I noticed was "top product" which is pretty generic. Might be better if that said "green lasers - our top seller" or similar?

    Serious Ravers Love Our Lasers -- Pew Pew You may want to take off the "pew pew". I am not plugged into that community. Alternate phrasing "Like Glow Sticks, Without The Suck" Edit: Want an intense effect for your next rave? Try a green laser -- it is magical in a dark room or at nighttime. Each laser pen is effectively a laser pointer with a detachable kaleidoscope light filter on the top. When this filter is on, the single, solid laser beam transforms into hundreds of different points of light on a surface. Too dangerous to point at a face.

      Really? Reading that, I hear the Pew Pew sound in my head, and it makes the laser seem totally awesome, even if it doesn't actually make that sound.

      As the co-owner of this site, I highly approve of the pew pew and have added it to the description. Now to figure out how to add a cross-browser compatible sound effect...

        Oh god, next thing you know you'll have gif backgrounds and have your whole level middle management walk out. Don't go down that path.

        I have an even better idea: animated gifs. Think about the revenue possibilities!

      I just made a giant banner that is randomly selecting a bunch of phrases. Yours is one of them. Also, you are awesome. Thanks for the idea!

        I came to the conversation late, and so while I was reading here about people not knowing what the site is about, the first thing I noticed on your site was "We do rave gear. We do it well." I definitely got what your site was about right away (sorry I'm not a raver!)
        user24 16y ago
        that wasn't there originally ;) edit: So that means the banner works!

        Awesome! Glad to hear the feedback :-}

      My girlfriend got out of the rave scene not too long ago, and I guarantee you she would have bought it for the "Pew Pew" alone.

      You may want to take off the "pew pew". I guarantee this phrase improve sales. Rave culture likes silly.

    Another great idea! This is now implemented.

Just my 0.02 cents - the site looks great, and I understood very quickly what you do. I also now have the urge to buy some lasers! It looks like you already implemented some of the suggestions, just though I'd let you know that, as of now at least, it looks great. The path I took was reading the headline ("we sell rave gear..."), not being sure what that meant, but then seeing "Green Laser Pen". Soon as I saw that, I understood what you're about and started reading products. So anyway, good job!
