Review www.bebimi.com please

I was wondering whether anyone could take a look at www.bebimi.com and give me some feedback. It's still under construction so be gentle.

We're aiming at turning bebimi into a popular aggregator for jewelry and diamonds by bringing together many of the well-known and respected merchants of this business.
I'd very much appreciate any constructive criticism you could provide us with. Thank you very much!

Thats a very nice looking site, with a good, consistent colour scheme. Keep up the good work

. One suggestion I have for your site is that you might want to consider putting a contact form on your contact page, as well as the email link and address. I have been put off in the past by email links for two reasons:

1. I don't use Outlook so I have to copy the address, load my email provider, compose a new email and paste it into the mail to box. (maybe I am just lazy)

2. I am never quite sure what to put in the email and it takes ages to write something out and correct it to make sure that I have provided all the required info.

A positive aspect from your point of view is that you can get all the information you require by having the relevant form fields.

Good luck with the site,

John

Thank you for taking a look at the site, I real appreciate your kind words, and most of all I appreciate your suggestions.
I'll consider providing a form for the contact page, sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

I understand that you want www.bebimi.com to become the best aggregator of diamond jewelry and accessories. Well, in this case, you should establish a very good marketing strategy and also to offer the best services besides just offering people an easy way to find what they want. I am talking about great support service and a very professional way of doing business.

I agree, the main task is to attract the customer and make him revisit the website.

Think about sorting your affiliates – a simple list of links won't attract customer's attention. There is much empty space on the main page, and the fonts also need some work.
Good luck.

Will take into consideration everything you've said. Thanks!
In the meantime, could you go here then click on any of the top links for example and tell me what you think of our new search function? It's not finished yet, but since so many people asked us to implement such a feature on www.bebimi.com we couldn't stand by and not do anything. Let me know what you think about it. Thanks!

I like the idea you provide the customer not only with the information about the item he’s seeking for, but also with jewelry’s image. Some fine tuning won't hurt

but as for me it's a great start

I went there

and I searched for a cheap wedding ring. I must say that the results page is pleasant to visitor's eyes (at least my eyes loved the webpage arrangement) and the search was very quick, which means that you got some good hardware there.

Moreover, the result list contains even images to help us rule out unwanted products. Yet, I think you could make the images a little more clear because they look a little dim right now. What do you think?

I'm glad you like it, we're trying our best to make it look as good as possible. It's by no means finished yet, as you've seen there are still some things to fix. I'm also not so pleased with the navigation to the search function, but hopefully we're going to change that and perhaps include it somewhere on bebimi's first page.

I think that putting a search box on the first page is the best decision. And what are your other plans as to possible changes at that page? As for me there is still empty space and I would say that the main page is the "face" of your website (if I can say so)

sonic · #11 (**permalink**) 05-27-2005, 09:44 AM

Well, I think that eventually the search box will end up on the first page as well as adding more information, perhaps telling people exactly what bebimi does and what to expect of it from the first page. Some folks mistake bebimi for a jewelry shop, when in fact it's a place where you can find all of the relevant offers from many of the jewelry diamond and accessories vendors.

Also, I think that bebimi.com's main page would fell more interactive if you would place some kind of menu for your visitors, where they could select the object of their interest at a very low price. You can select from your database, the offers for every category and put it in that menu.

sonic · #13 (**permalink**) 05-30-2005, 11:50 AM

I see what you mean and it's not a bad idea at all. Perhaps we should try something like that on bebimi.com since there's enough room to do it anyway. Perhaps this will help our visitors in making their decisions easily.

And doesn't bebimi already have something like that? As when you visit its main page you can choose between jewelry for women, men, diamonds and so on?
Perhaps I just misunderstood you or didn't got your point?

sonic · #15 (**permalink**) 06-01-2005, 11:04 AM

I believe what minime is saying that we should have a list on bebimi comprised of the items with the lowest prices from each category. The cheapest diamond, the cheapest earring, the cheapest watch and so on. This is an interesting idea and it could be useful for people trying to find the best deals possible, because even the least expensive products are still of good quality since we don't promote cheap imitations or faulty products here at bebimi.
