Hi [URL removed]

Welcome to Bonanza! Attractive website. You have many interesting crystals that I’ve never heard of. I pinned the green elbaite to my board Chartreuse, Lime & Olive [URL removed] [URL removed] Two things I’d add are 1) a categories navigation top or sidebar and group at least by color or value, and 2) would give product info about traditional uses for each crystal, though I know this is fairly wide open and subjective to the purchaser.

Categories are vital to increasing visitors’ time in a store. That’s one thing that is a great feature here at Bonz, the ability for even the free booth owners to create categories. When I visit a store and see pages of products without any way to sort through them other than the search window, I MAY go to the 2nd page, and possibly skip to the last (depending on how much time I have) and then I’m gone.

Most visitors today just don’t have time to pick through pages. Also with the slow loading of some webpages at any given time, shoppers often spend minimal time I think in a shop without categories. So if you can add them I think it would help your shoppers a lot, though 4 pages of products are not overwhelming. Your products are beautifully presented.

BTW, I clicked on your Search window on several pages and nothing happened, so I couldn’t test it out.

Good luck to you,
Sandi

I would, as both a seller & a buyer, agree with this….800 items and no categories? I don’t have the time!
