Review my site -- I want you guys to be ruff as possibl... - 12/12/2007 4:40:34
You forum posters aren't ruff enuff!!
Some of these sites are not up to snuff!!
Maybe mine isn't either! check it out:: www.diamond-buyer-guide.com
Here is my problem:
1- it's new and I am not google PR'ed but I am getting there
2- I get a lot of internal searches and click throughs etc ... but conversions and sign ups etc are almost non existent.
basically is this site too difficult to understand?? did I stuff it with too much stuff?
remember be ruff!! I can take it because i like it that way!

Also I am getting some horizontal scrolling on my 800 res monitor. It cuts off the pretty girl on the right.

I agree with Jaybee - there just seems to be too much going on, it's difficult to know what to look at first and the eye tends to get a bit lost. I think maybe either looking at having different sections being in different colours (not a big palatte - even just shades of grey) to differentiate them - or spread the sections out a bit vertically.
Also, many of the area break when I increase the text size, presumably because you've set heights for different sections.
edit: just plugging Diamond into Google I came across this site: http://www.bluenile.co.uk/?gclid=CKv4rMjiopACFQdhMAod90CHog which certainly isn't perfect but they seem to present quite a lot of information well - each section is differentiated from the next.

Yeah I didn't notice that... I will fix it to be absolute text size

Yeah I know their site is cleaner, but I have no product to sell like they do. i.e. no pretty pictures available to me on the cheap. Plus they get 1000 times more hits to their page than I do so they can afford to be better looking with out the hard sell.
Very Good stuff, like I mentioned to Jaybee I will keep it in mind for an updated page

Somehow I feel you're being let down by the graphics of the website.
There is more glitter in the girl's eyes and more gloss on her lips than there are from the diamonds.
The diamond on the top-left ring looks so pale compared to the metal that holds it.
In my opinion, I think a non-light color background will do better justice to the diamonds.

As far as images goes - go to http://www.istockphoto.com and plug in Diamond or Diamond ring - images cost around $2 each. Lots of pretty pictures there.
hehe where do you think I got those diamond rings from .. narrowed down from over a dozen ... ehh can't get much for two bucks plus i had to make them less red in hue .. probably why those diamonds dont sparkle
dont get me wrong istock has some nice stuff ... i have found some outrageously cheap photos from istock ... plus its sometimes better than getty and fotosearch

as william said it's not so much the images as the contrast between them adn the background: when you see diamonds in a jewellers shop they are always set against dark velvet.
have you tried a dark background to match that of the lady?
also adding a little sparkly star (a subtle one) can provide a certain sparkle that might be looking for
