The Toy DB

[Stitch]

Some well-intentioned criticism, for a site about toys, this one looks pretty dull. I'm no expert or anything, but after reading the first post I expected...lets say more colorful site. Not in a childish way, you could fix it just by maybe changing the white background to something more jolly

Also, the search could use more filters. For example, when I click on find toys/educational toys, I get over 3800 results. Maybe allow us to combine the existing filters (search educational toys for toddlers). It could reduce the need to scroll through thousands of results, especially if you plan to widen database.

Anyway, best of luck with the project, I'll be stopping buy to check the progress

Thanks again reza and somedevil.

On your points, we have plans to put in place a lot of that, but we have to schedule time to do all the developments. Due to various circumstances (in our personal lives), this makes getting the time to do this difficult. For the moment, we just focus on trying to get some time online to simply establish ourselves a little. We're in this for the long game though, so we have a roadmap on features we want to add over time.

That's said, I really appreciate the feedback and the points you raise are really valuable, the one about structuring titles definitely being a very good point.

With a project like this you definitely want to have a long term plan. What is your target audience? Parents or children?
