Here are a few websites that we like, but we understand they may not necessarily work for our store at this time.
The Wickanninnish Inn uses an outdoor photo with circles you can click on to tell you more about that location: http://www.wickinn.com,
The Treehouse uses a virtual tour to give a peek into their store: http://www.countrytreehouse.com,
Crave Cookies & Cupcakes uses images that you can click on, instead of words: http://www.cravecupcakes.ca,
Pottery Barn & Restoration Hardware have the style and image we want to project, their colours are great and they have a polished look: http://www.potterybarn.com, http://www.restorationhardware.com,
Eds Linens has headings and subheadings that may be incorporated, we like the rotating photo box - they use good visual for products they carry: http://www.edslinens.com
Some things we would like to see on the site are a features page for coupons, and also a testimonials page. Good visuals, less text.
What we are after is that uniqueness you and your contractors can come up with. The idea for the opening page is one butterfly (inspiration) from the top left, and another butterfly (style) from the top right fly together mid-screen and create the home page. “Where Inspiration & Style Come Together” (tagline)
Please stay away from fluorescent colours. Stay with rich, warm, cozy, earth tones.
What we are interested in is changing the colours for each season – just the first page if need be.
