Grade A stuff. I’m unquestionably in your debt.

That’s a neon nightmare and not a place for virgin brides to shop. It’s terrible, it’s funny and it’s compelling. Rather like watching a B-movie: if you get past the first few minutes and haven’t switched off the telly or walked out of the cinema, it’s quite likely you’ll remember the “monster” forever.

The site is actually very cool. It made me laugh with tears, which is a great performance.

I can actually say, to the disappointment of many who commented here, that this website is funny at least, while their pages – just some boring adapted templates, get lost in the billions of particles of pretentious dust which quietly polute the network.

And that is how NOT!!! to make a website.

Let’s say she got 1,000,000 untargeted visitors. Let’s say the site is very well designed, and for people looking for wedding gowns and stuff convert 3% of the time. Doing a quick check around 2M people get married, or 1M women that need gowns. US female pop is about 150M so 1 in 150 could be a semi potential. Assuming those that would actually could or would buy would be from her home town, Panama city, population 37k makes it a little more limiting. That would mean about 246 local prospects may have seen the site. Using the assumption of 3% conversion you are looking at 6 or 7 sales. Seeing that I spent as much time writing this as trying to figure out what city the store was actually in, would most likely mean a 0% conversion normally. Nobody in their right mind would see that site, and feel compelled to go to the store and buy something.

Basically this site is completely useless for her business. In fact if she did get a ton of traffic from it, she might be suffering from high server fees.

I’ve really wondered how much business this has actually generated for her shop, she’s had hundreds of stumbles and tons of traffic.

Only had 108 error when validating. Not bad. I’ve seen some with over a 1,000. It looks perfect when you wear 3d glasses:)

All said and done, I think this site is proof that you do not need a website to support your business.
