I really appreciated the feedback I got from you last time... I did some minor tweaks, and wondering if you'd be willing to take a look at it again?

Is my site understandable this time?

And another question, do you think the 'shop mood' collection names should be more relatable?

And the 'shop style', does it make any sense for you now? (Referring to the 'know it all' and 'dabbler', given that I kinda described what I'm talking about there)

And last question for now... Within the actual items, how necessary did you find it to be to see an actual description of the product? (Also, not sure if you saw it at first, but did you realize the one-liner below the 'add to cart' or did you not scroll that far in the first place?)

This is the site: https://www.quiunum.com

I like some of the tweaks very much.
Here are some suggestions for you to think about and consider, always to tweak it to what YOU feel reflects your 'hospitality-style' for your shoppers and clients.

Money------
Moving the financial section AFTER people have indulged themselves in viewing your products, and "imagining" owning these items inside their homes and personal belongings (to me) works more effectively.
You want them engaged in "wanting and desiring" your product before hitting their wallets?! *grin*

It's good to engage their Imaginations, having them think HOW they could use your products first.. the money naturally follows.

LOGO AREA ..
I think people should know right away "what" you are about. In that area, perhaps be more obvious? State it somehow?
Don't assume they have guessed what you sell?

You sell Home and Business Décor items (basically).
Also good for Gift-Giving.
{your Guitar kit~~ I wouldn't know how to 'place' as far as décor goes?!! but it's part of astro H2!! things you can possess!!}

Find the words that fit (in general) your "stuff" you sell--
(e.g. right now, you don't sell clothes, dresses, etc.. See what I'm saying? …
What "stuff" would your person be looking for? Décor? .. trying to be more clear here.}

Your first "product" is actually an invisible one--
You are "selling" {hooking} your person who is interested in choosing products by their own styles, and moods {vanity, ego-stroking?}.

Therefore, after your Logo, I would state what you generally sell.. and maybe even Products for "Your Style, Your Moods"
Adjust my idea to what you think fits.

Laughing..
Gently, you present a kind of Aquarian and unique-ness vibe.

Funny thing is, my roommate has an Aquarius Moon. Extremely inward and detached person, while 'seeming' to be friendly open and available. He lives 'in the kingdom and world of his head'.
Aquarius can be kind of maybe too 'detached'?, where they unconsciously assume we can "read what's on their minds!!??" *laughing*
.. Well... ~sometimes I can do that!! rofl

I have a Venus Taurus, and a Virgo Moon. I 'touch-and-feel' and I 'analyze' the things that I-touch-and-feel. That includes advertisements I "see" and "imagine" owning for own myself.
(Of course... there are other things in my chart that facilitate these, and add boosted dimension to these senses.)

Touch and Feel .. directly engaging the Sensory world.

What I see with my 'eyes' and imagination, gives me sense-tactical experiences.

So -----
I would add more 'personal' words to the words you already have there.

Create a subliminal "relationship" with the person attracted to your shopping site. ---

YOUR Style.
YOUR Moods.
YOUR Creative flair
YOUR Genius
.. the words Style, Moods have a sense of 'detachment'. If the *I* and personality can't 'attach' then the shopper will take-it-or-leave-it. {Not trying to hurt your feelings or insult you, okay? It's my "personal" experience and opinion only. YOU know the kind of clientele you wish to draw, according to your OWN moods and styles?}

Style, Moods-- (to me) works once you have established and engaged 'the person' in what you sell.
Indicating that this is about *them* near your Logo, will clarify other words and meanings?

{See how that adds more of a *I'm here to "show you" imaginative Possibilities*, and to cater to your individual unique {flattering them} "tastes" {implying they have 'good tastes'} kind-of-a-vibe? You're their invisible 'shopping concierge', or the Stylist who Knows them??.. haha.

You are there to provide them with "an experience" they will love and come back for, for themselves or for gift-giving to others.

You accompany/lead them to their various moods, according to which Style they are attracted to. And of course, they feel self-empowered and engaged.
{I'm smiling, as I'm thinking of some of the shows my roommate watches. He loves those real-estate shows. The renovation stylist, or million-dollar home seller, approaches their client with suggestions they feel 'match' the clients they want to contract with.}

*~
SECTION
Know-it-all, Dabbler ---------
suggestion..
add the word "The"

The Know-it-all
The Dabbler

Your Style
fitting what Your Moods
are about...

{See where I'm going with this? *heart*}

*~
Shop -----
{possibly, replace with something like}
"What's Your Style?"
{engages them in a personal way}

"The Know-it-All"
"The Dabbler"

uhm. To be direct with you (personally for me)?
I had the 'tendency' to want to skip that, and cut to the section of your pretty 'boxed' sections where you have the 'Shopping Moods'. I LIKE the choice of descriptive "words" you used FOR those sections.
{note how I suggest adding a more-active voice to that verb 'Shop Moods'.}
… Either would work?! LOL
.. ~oy!!! ha. Maybe I'm getting too detail-oriented right now. I should back off a bit??

*~
50% discount
.. oh yeah baby!!! NOW you have me!!!!! *laughing*

I LIKE the kind of 'understating' of this.
Their "seeing" that they can have the chance of 'half-off' the purchase of your products (which they have just ALREADY-"imagined" owning for themselves, seeing self 'owing' it, and have dickered in their head with your listed prices), provides an energy-stress release.. it unblocks a dam, suddenly?

You know how you used icons with your check-mark section??

I would add a kind of attractive one after bolding and saying "50% discount".
Style Shop
50% Discounts
then the info how-to.

p.s. … I KNOW you get your own pun on "over-slowing" with Toy??
To me?, that is so awkward.
My mind LOVES LOVES LOVES humor and puns.
I have a hard time solving that one!! rofl

That tiny room--- OMG!!! It's sooo cute!!!
What a MARVELOUS little gift that could be to a growing girl!
And, I know there are miniature-enthusiasts out there {older people} who like to collect those kinds of things.
That's a fantastic "little world" .. {congratulations!}

*~
Okay. I'm getting tired now, and have "too much" I'd want to say???

Under "About Us" ---
VERY NICE colorful listing!! YES!
Consider making these "clickable"..

I would almost change the words About Us to something like {Menu} Your Choices .. (but, maybe, more creative word?? ..
I LOVE the look and feel of that colorful list!

Well!! LOL
I'll let you mull-over some of those ideas, and see what you would wish to incorporate or not.

I think it's exciting that you are expressing yourself with this unique project!
{congratulations}
Stylish LL Woman Entrepreneur…. ((YES!!!!)) *grin*

I need to go through your response again, you absolutely pointed out some stuff that nobody did before. I should probably credit my websites' 'editing' towards you lol. (kinda serious here)

I love the stuff you pointed out, especially the part of getting to someone's heart. I'll definitely rethink and use more wording I think.

My MC is Aquarius lol so you picked up on that. And my AC ruler (Mercury) is in the eleventh. Plus the opposition of Uranus to my Venus in the first. So yeah quite a lot of Aquarian energy, and I agree, sometimes I'm a bit difficult to understand and I assume that people do lol.

Thanks so much! I'll probably come back with some questions while I'm in the midst of fixing it up, but I first have to start.

I peeked into your site this morning, and saw some of the changes you made.
haha.. I liked your tweaks.
How do you feel about it?

Is this part of a fulfilment for a college marketing course you are taking?
(If so, big-bravo for including astrology in your project!! )

I played more with the features on your site, getting the 'feel' of it.

I LIKE your "Instagram".
What a contrast to go from a lot of 'black space' in your website, to the bright and white Instagram.

The white background changed the whole tone (for me). It was fresh and clean.
The squares all in a row looked unique and artsy, as I recognized you carrying your "poster" theme there from the original website idea.

I loved seeing that first picture, of the little boy trying to follow his blueprint for doing his Lego's project.
Very nice ~!
Would attract people "with" kids, or the relatives of kids.
Many Grands love to spoil kids of ALL ages. *heart, grin*

Tracking your Changes----
.. Did you keep "the original" of your idea?
Do you keep copies of work-changes you do?
Could be a good thing to do-- not just to trace the evolution of your idea, but to be able to backtrack after testing-out some 'bunny trails'?

I did A TON of writing when I was in college. Would write, and re-write, and re-write, and hardly ever felt satisfied with what I did.

Each change seemed to change "the voice".. which prompted me to shift and adjust adjust adjust .. to the point where I noticed I had lost the initial idea.
My friends used to tell me to leave my manuscripts alone-- that I was picking scabs! .. oh noooo. haha

Same thing with artwork!! The more details you add, the more that seem to be required?

So,
many changes can change the personality of your site.

I said this, .. to encourage you to keep to your personality! I'm thrilled that you have valued the feedback... may throw buckets-more as you go. LOL

But Always Remember-- this is YOU. … Don't lose YOU.
You are in-touch with what your generation bracket wants.

Unique Genius Creative Bouncy YOU.

When you have everything as you 'think' you'd like it to appear, I'd like to give you a heads-up, to suggest that you might try to reword some of the sentences (phrases)--later-- for grammar/syntax.

Yes, you DO make sense.

One test for you to try--
Go along and read everything "out-loud" like you are recording a voice commercial.
(Even record your voice speaking it-- then listen to yourself.
Anything clumsy for your tongue (to say)
or to your hearing?)
(Did your brain stumble in any way?)

Planet Mercury is strongest planet in my chart.

Libra MC, Sun Gem is trine MC.
you have an "air" MC too.

What degree is your (Gem) Ascendant?

So anyways... Take your time! Nice and easy.
Play with it, small pieces at a time.
Sit with it-- let it continue to talk.

I've heard that astrological transits might influence to take on 'more than you can chew'? (realistically accomplish)?

Thanks so much!

I'm still tweaking it a bit, but wanted to get the obvious annoyances out of the way. And I guess I'm liking the progress so far, compared to the before of course.

Haha no not part of a college project. Although that would be pretty cool.

(I love Astrology, I'm really hoping to incorporate something maybe down the road more Astrology related, or maybe a different website altogether with Astrology-related stuff. Time will tell I guess)

Ha I had others mention the darkness of my website, that it's a bit depressing? I'm not sure why but I love it. And don't think I'm planning to change it either lol. (Maybe MC ruler in my eighth lol) I shall hope the people I target won't mind it, maybe even like it as much as I do.

I might however incorporate a bit of lightness on my website, like different sections in white with content... I'll see I guess.

Haha I know! Thanks, I'll probably ultimately target moms and kids... I think those would be my best customers. I shall hope.

Yeah I think it's cool to keep track of the evolved. Makes it more interesting over time I guess?
Ha I totally feel you with the writing and re-writing thingy. I obsess over stuff and can't execute half done projects. (I always wondered why, cuz I have no Virgo in my chart and Virgo is intercepted in my 4th. But I guess it must be my 6th house Pluto opposing my Sun)

But I'm really trying to keep the personality of my original idea intact. Especially, cuz my initial Instagram/FB posts happened several months ago already, and it has to vibe well together.

And I do value your feedback, immensely! Yeah I might preserve certain stuff that represents my style, but without customers being able to relate to it I will probably be my only customer lol.

Haha you're funny, thanks for the compliments, I appreciate it.

OMG which part is hard to understand? From the products' descriptions itself or those 3 icons' text from the footer of the home page? (BTW I removed those descriptions, not sure if you realized)

Cuz I generally do re-read to make sure it's not odd or something... Just curious which one you're referring to or just everything as a whole? (don't feel bad to criticize, honestly)

My AC is at 22 Gemini and Moon in Gemini too at 12 degrees. (assuming you were asking to make sure it's not on the cusp?)

So I'd think Mercury is strong in my chart too lol. (also Mars squaring it, and Jupiter is in my 3rd in aspect to my Gem Moon)

Lemme re-read it all and see what you mean, thanks!! (cuz ultimately customers will understand it the way you do, not me)
