Retina 

Eve Milan New York is an award winning skincare company created by and African American Esthetician. We make skincare simple for the complex human by creating 3 step kits that allow you to get to the skin you desire in under 10 mins. We sell sheet mask for the person who like to do skincare while multi tasking, detailed kits for novice skincare customers but we have advanced formulas for the beauty pros. After launching in 2016 Eve Milan has been featured in a slew of media outlets from Allure Magazine to Daily Mom. Our goal going into the new year is to enhance the visuals of the site ( need of our styled product shots and videos, Retina helps us display them in a clean and upscale way ). We also plan on increasing our influencer marketing and the reviews on the website.

I wanted a theme that supported videos on the product page which was basically the main selling point for this theme. As a skincare brand who isn’t in stores yet we have to make the client understand what the product looks like, feels like, smells like. We have to be able to deliver content. The layout is clean and very pretty. I’m happy with it. Anything additional we can have our web master add it.

Hmmmm….. I would love a video carousel option to support more video content. That would be FANTASTIC. People are use to Instagram and TikTok on the way the consume so It would be nice to be able to display more videos in a clean format.

OCEAN-POWERED BEAUTY Skincare formulated for exceptional results and unparalleled pleasure - exquisite luxury straight from the sea. SALT & SEAWEED is a boutique skincare apothecary celebrating the rich, natural abundance of the Pacific Northwest, by offering locally crafted artisan luxuries made with wild-harvested seaweed, marine glacial clay, fresh ocean water and sea salt, created for health-conscious locavores. Launched in 2018, target market - women ages 35-55. Website has been great, did the upgrade to 2.0 in 2022.

I love how easy it is to get a beautiful layout, I love that I can use my brand colors, love how professional my page looks. What I didn't like about the upgrade to 2.0 is that my paragraphs are bunched in the middle of the page, not nicely spaced over the page, taking much less space.

More helpful, relative and UP TO DATE DIY tutorials, some of us are creative minds and want to be at the wheel. I found un-dated, online tutorials very confusing.

I launched it over two years ago and it is going all right - just up to the expectations. I make and sell custom jewellery and accessories to individual customers from around the world. It is my independent shop apart from Etsy where I also sell my stuff. The website is a bit slow but it doesn't have a great impact on sales.

The theme is nice and clear, very suitable to the vibe I relate to and to the style I keep my jewellery in. It look good on a desktop, tablet and mobile browser. Maybe except the policies - they are a bit too wide but that's all readable. It is fairly easy to manage.

Maybe there is something you can do to speed up the websites on this theme, which apparently slows them down a bit. I think this is it. Overall it is ok - for me the aesthetic of it is very important!

Greek gifts and bespoke personalized products. Launched in 2016. Most sales are to college aged sorority members. Fully Greek licensed. Branched into wedding and home goods in 2019.

Modern looking theme with scope to add apps to customize it even further. Has stood the test of time over the last six years. Still looks fresh. User friendly. Working out navigation was a bit tricky to begin with...but I think that is the case with any website template!

The new tax requirement is flummoxing me. Looks like I need to change the code, but I can't find the code that I'm supposed to change (doing a search for the specific code that needs changing isn't finding anything.)

We launched in February 2022. The website is used for the sale of ebooks, blogging, and as a contact form. The target audience is moms with an interest is eating healthier and getting fit. The website serves its purpose but does run a little slow with the amount of blog photos. The page format is only customizable to a small extent which has proven to be a challenge, however we are also running an older version of Retina. It is not easy to simply migrate data to the updated version, I will have to completely redesign the updated version first. We tried the paid automatic update function and the website was a completely unrecognizable formatting mess. So that’s frustrating. Having to pay to keep it updated and not even have basic usability was not worth it. So I will be redesigning the latest version manually then pushing it live once I can verify everything works.

I don’t love that you cannot easily format photos to wrap inside the text or edit the borders of the photos. None of the page defaults work for wrapped text. Also the contact form default page is very basic with not a lot of customization. Would be nice to be able to edit the contact for for more fields, or add a map below. The Blog page is fine, but would be nice to be able to add tags or search bar at the top, or share icons on each blog page. Overall the theme is just “okay,” but I do like that the theme remembers brand colors and is fully customizable in that regard. It’s also easy to format sections of the home page and drag them around. The pop-up and banner feature are a win as well.

My biggest pain point is the slow operating with a good-sized blog (22 pages of blog posts with 4-5 images per blog), also wish their was more customization ability within page templates, specifically the contact page which is a little lackluster.

Selling cleaning chemicals and equipment

Excellent in all regards. We would not like to be using Shopify without the skilled design and support from Out of the Sandbox.

Keep doing what you are doing in the way you are doing it. Do not, as so many companies have done, "upgrade" your offering and destroy the functionality and ease of use we currently enjoy. Upgrade by all means, following the principle of ongoing continual improvement (kaizen) but be very wary of consultants, management, and inexperienced programmers who do not have a complete and deep understanding of your products and market.

We sell kitchen sinks and faucets, bathroom sinks, faucets and showers. Our market includes home owners, Contractors, and Designers. We launched this theme with Shopify in 2016 to provide customers from anywhere in the USA to shop.

We launched this theme with Shopify in 2016 and love Out of the Sandbox themes and support. The Retina theme are easy to configure and customize, look great and support is always there to help. It is a nice looking design theme and we get comments all the time how great it looks.

On going suggestions for design help would be nice, just small tips on some creative ideas.
