What do you look for in a good equestrian website? I am not talking about delivery - more so the look and feel of a site. What kind of searches, layout, user functionality? What do you really like and what annoys you?

General thoughts would be appreciated, this is really to help my husband with a proposal so it is fairly important to me (and him!) that I can glean as much info from you guys as possible to make it a brilliant pitch!

Thanks! :D
 
Here goes...

- a clear layout
- easy to find things/products
- a search function
- easy to read text
- lots of categories of different products

Some examples - I hate robinsons website but love
derby house

It annoys me say I go to a website to look at long boots and it takes me several clicks or several hours to find them

There was one website and to get to long boots I had to click "clothing and footwear" then "footwear" then "long boots" then the brand
I prefer if, like derby house the categories are listed along top or downside and when at top if you hover
over a category like "horse" with mouse it opens a list of subcategories like "tack" that I can click on and immediately get to tack rather than pressing hundreds if buttons

Hope this helps :D
 
I hate sights that look really bare or have a category for something and only have 2 products in it.

Also has to have a search facility

although im a bargain hunter I dont like "cheap" looking sites :D

or my biggest pet peev is not having any product info next to the product only an add to basket option!

I really like the Saddlery shop's site
