Hi everyone
I started a gift basket business in march and finally got my website up and running. I was just hoping anyone that had a chance could give it a look if you have time and let me know what you think. The web address is www.jobrigifts.com
there is a feedback page on the website or you can email me at angela@jobrigifts.com or angelacc1983@yahoo.com. I would really appreciate it. Thank you

The site looks pretty good. Much better than a lot of first time sites. Everything is clean and clear. I like it.

ooo...I loved the roses, they really appealed to my sense of beauty and were a great forerunner to your product. The descriptions and pictures were good too! I hope you are selling like crazy. have you done the numerology on the business name? That would be an excellent idea if you have not. Let us know how its going!

Hi Angela! And welcome!

I only just saw this now. I like it, frankly, I'm not an expert on gift baskets, but I like what I see. You have 2 angles here, at least, which is good: Kids' Gift Baskets (never heard of that, and I love it!), Women's, good, AND, last but not least, that you use baskets that are usable after you unwrap them. That's excellent!

I like the presentation, of course, I love flowers, so those roses really appeal.

A couple of pictures seem to be unstable. The one on the home page only just started to show up now, when I went to the site a second time. Somewhere else the same thing happened, but it fixed itself.

I like the About Us page, you explain the name, make it personal, etc.

I took a quick look at your meta tags - if you want to attract traffic from the search engines, they need to be fixed somewhat.
The title is extremely important, just having the business' name there isn't enough. Put a brief catchy phrase there - "Jobri Gifts -- Affordable Gift Baskets for Women and Kids Exclusively" or something like that. Keyword tags should only be in small letters, no capitalizations, including names.

Great job!

Thank you for looking and the support! I did do the numerology but I forgot what it said so I better recheck it to refresh my memory

Thank you for the feedback! The problem with the pictures is I was editing my website as you were looking since I found out I had to totally redo it to submit to froogle, it should work just fine every time now. Thank you for the advice on the metatags, I will think about that for a bit and fix it! Especially the only small letters part, I had no idea about that

I had a gift basket business once. Market some Mortgage brokers. Also there are medical clinics that do Independent Insurance Exams for the Insurance Industry . These folks have marketing reps who buy gifts at certain times of the year. Also I did a mall Kiosk. That was ok but location in the mall is everything and you need a mall where people have money because its not a necessity but its an impulse buy. I left my business becasue I wanted to return to the office workplace so my husb and I could buy a summer place not because it failed. I definately sold baskets. I wish you the best.I didn't see the web site yet.
