So i'm about to release the website for my clothing compagny (Inbound). And I'd like to get some feedback and critique to make it better because it's clearly not perfect… It's a french website but you should be able to navigate easily on it !

Thanks a lot in advance and im looking forward for your feedback.

I can't seriously comment on a 'clothing' website that has cut-outs this poorly.



Inexcusable, a toddler with a stick and three stones will do a better job.

it bothers me that the top line of the letter's in the logo aren't straight, the O is much higher than UND

I'd just work on the cut outs like said before because the white border around everything bothers me a lot

Love the feel of the website, just fix up the little things like the cutouts like mentioned above and you'll be sweet. Btw the City Hoodie looks super ill.

yea seems like to your off to a good start. i also like the feel of the website too, the logo looks a little tight and jumbled, but nothing too bad. idk if its just me but some of the letters look a little crooked on the logo as well. i really like the snapback hats! some of the cut outs are a little sketchy but thats a fairly easy fix. overall really good start!

The white borders doesn't look too bad on some of the products, lifts them of the page, but thats just my opinion, maybe you could achieve it some other way.

I think the companies name is pretty weak. I would not buy cloths with "inbound" on them, i prefer to be outbound. Inbound sounds like your living inside a box, conforming to society. But your designs look ok

I wouldn't say that your products are bad, but there just too plain. They need more "Stuff" to go along with it. Because if i'm debating over getting one of your products that are SUPER plain or getting a kickass looking shirt from another company, I would go with the kickass looking shirt.

Better Products = More Sales = More Money For You

yeh I would go for a white background as well which will make it easier with cutting out the images. also white background just looks clean and simple. Have a look at other websites you like and try and figure out what it is that makes them work. good luck with it!

Our goal is to make these kickass products but to make custom stuff like we want needs huge quantities and we wont be able to sell it for now but its clearly our goal to make our products better and unique

Ditch the shadow, it makes it look like a water stain across the edge of the shirt, especially on the white one. The cut out still isn't as clean as it could be either. idk, that kind of stuff bothers me a bit.

Also, hm... I think the biggest problem with your company is that you're not making me want to wear your logo. Ya gotta think of it with an outsiders perspective. Why would someone else want to wear your logo across their chest if there's no other design/your brand/logo doesn't have a big presence?

Personally I like to see an Info/background page. Like who started the business, where it was crated, etc. I think that would help the site, other than that its lookin good!

Yo, I think the 3D rendering looks a bit goofy, and I'd go for more complex designs, people only want to look like a billboard when it's a big brand, like supreme. But that's aside the point, everything's cool about the website apart from the 3D rendering ting. But that's just my view

Your logo is very unbalanced and it just looks like a bunch of broken teeth or something to me. Like, the idea for the logo is really good, but the execution is quite poor. The spacing/kerning is off between letters, they are all oddly different sizes, and that's considering the arc you're going for, too. The Est. 2013 looks like it's weighted toward the left side of the logo. It's overall just very poorly designed.

my only critique would be towards the way the clothing is being shown. it looks over photoshopped(probably what people mean by 3d rendering) and they cut off oddly on the main shop page, making them look more like women's baby doll tshirts than men's standard cuts.

lifestyle shoots are good to reach which client base you want to attract for sure, and they're good for lookbooks. it's not a terrible idea. for your shop pics you can always just grab a worker from your team, find a back drop(white wall, whatever) and shoot from the neck down to give an idea of how your garment looks on the body.

Have someone who knows design go through your logo and fix it. It looks like you guys don't know how to align/center things and the combination of random alignments and kerning is very distracting. Good luck!

Like, the shading on the products, giving them a 3D look kinda thang. Looks a little goofy but that's just me
