Sylvie Noel | | Hi there,
The store site looks nice (and by the way, that speckled bird is an American Robin - sorry, that's the birdwatcher in me :) ). Easy to navigate, easy to get to the cart. I don't think you need to change much there - maybe just the blurb on the home page "I love flowers and I want to share that love with you". Nice for a personal page, not so nice for a business. Personally, I would start with 'This month's special: buy one, get one half price', and then describe that all prints are matted and mounted and give the price for the two sizes.
For me the www.photosbylatease.com site looks really ugly. The top text Photos by LaTease is jaggy, and the text on the side looks ugly too. Are you trying to use a special font for that text? Always remember that not everyone is going to have that obscure but oh so gorgeous font you found. Count on most people have the minimum number of fonts and choose from those fonts. The buttons make no sense "Flowers" (and I see a dog and ducks) and "More flowers". Uh why? Put all your flowers at the same place, and if you don't want them all to appear on the same page, then let people navigate from one page to the other, not by a button, but at the bottom (and maybe at the top) with either "1-2-3.." or "Previous PageX Next" style of navigation.
Teasa's tips and techniques - I was expecting a web site where you were going to give photography tips and techniques. Instead this is just another one of those pre-made home-based businesses. Very disappointing. Since these sites are all pretty much identical, I won't comment on it.
Personally, if I wanted to sell my pictures, I would have a web site with examples of my pictures and a daily blog where I give out not just tips and techniques on taking good pictures, but also my daily quest for the perfect picture, anecdotes surrounding the pictures I took, etc. And of course a link to the photo-selling web site. (Or you could have it all at the same URL, just on different pages.) Put the ones I like the most on Flickr with, of course, a link back to my web page. Wouldn't that be more appropriate for what you want to do than that book-selling business?
Anyway, good luck with your endeavours,
