Don’t deny it.

• There is no “new additions” page.
• There is no way to arrange products by price.
• Options for product arrangement exist but do not work.
• Users cannot tell which category a toy falls into.
• All your prices fall in the under $30 dollar range.
• All your products fall in the over $75 range.
• Both of the above.
• Any category contains less than five items.
• There are no page navigation links (“Page 1”, “Page 2,” “Next,” and “Previous”) on both the top and bottom of the page.
• Links take the user to a different part of the site without indicating how to return to where they were before.
• Different colors are listed as separate products. (Personal comment: cut it the fuck out!).
• You have no concept of material safety.
• Items are described with manufacturer-supplied images or descriptions.
• And the generic supplied information isn’t even listed with the correct toy.
• Toys that are in no way safe for anal play are recommended for anal play.
• Your site is just an affiliate shop.
• Your site has only been tested in one browser.
• The home/index page links to sections that cannot be found via any other page.
• Every toy is made of jelly.
• Every porno you stock is straight.
• You rename products from their box name.
• The images in your shop: do not work, have been resized until the subject is unrecognizable, are taken in light that even bats would find low, are only icon sized, are of the wrong product, include more than 2 products which are not included and/or are intended to grossly misrepresent the size of the product.

Let’s be honest here, all of these things fall into one of two categories: site usability and product selection. If your site is so horrendous that we cannot use it, we sure as shit ain’t buying from it. And while I don’t expect every toy store to stocks tens of thousands of items, having variety in styles, prices and toy materials is a must. In fact, I would never suggest only stocking high end items because that puts your shop in a niche which I will never have need for. Me? I just want a site which I can browse and enough product variety that something will catch my fancy.
