I really like the nice pastel color choices you chose the light blue and purple make me feel very zen. Nice images in the store page too. When I first clicked on the URL for your page the background is plane white I don't know if that was intentional or the image broke on that page. But to make your home page match the inner pages you might need to fix that in case it did break : ]

Hey Dalanie! Nice work! I have the same experience with the opening page, it's a white background with a generic navigation. The other thing that I see, is that the background image on the inner pages is pushed to the left, as well as, your navigation bar. I think they would look better centered with the logo and body content. There should be some indication that the logo will take you back to the home page, I only know this because you told me. I think your site is beautiful and, with a few tweaks, will be perfect for the product that you are offering.

I'm still having issues with the logo-you cant tell what its supposed to be without having to think about it.
Also, the home page is broken, and the nav bar is stuck to the right for me-all the time.
I think it definitely still needs work.

Your color choices are wonderful, really bright and uplifting. I also like the whole idea behind your design/products, very creative. Unfortunately though, The home page is a little broken on my computer, it kind of looks like its missing the style sheet or something, and the navigation bar is shoved all the way to the left. Small problems really, they should be quick fixes. Good job though, neat petal background too!

Your design is unique and has a tranquil and also exciting color factor. The home page is all on the left side of the page and the nav bar on the other pages seems off. The second page I think if you put the "shiv" for the footer and "clear both" rule on there it would fix that otherwise the © is squished against the images. Also I think you should put a margin on the bottom to give your elements some breathing room. Your type boxes should also have some margins to it and for it to look professional take out the hyphens.
Otherwise great job!

An interesting idea.
You've got good use of pastel colors throughout your design which establish a peaceful, soothing feeling. I like the background image with the cherry blossoms and the distorted falling petal background. Your typography works with your design, even if it is a little big. Your navigation is easy to follow and use with a nice rollover color. I have no problem reading your content and your design presents it well.
Where it falls flat with me is in the execution. The navigation on the home page is broken, it looks like a bulleted list to me. Also the background image is missing. On most of the inner pages, the navigation does not center, it's locked to the left edge, with a bit of margin separating it from that edge. The background also seems pinned to the left edge, while the logo and content float. That means that the pages pretty much disintegrate at higher resolutions. Also, that copyright text at the bottom is way too big.
A good effort though. It just needs a bit of technical cleanup.

Hi,Dalanie
After you fix the problem of the broken parts of your home page and Chakra Store page, your design has a clean and calm feeling to me. I like the color and your idea of the products: )

Hi Dalanie,
I like how you want to create a zen website.
It has that feeling with the pastel color scheme and rainbow logo.
I really like the texture you added to the background.
You might want to add some opacity to it so its more of the background to the flowers.
I think the logo text orientation needs some work as its a little confusing what it means and how to read it.
There a couple functional differences that probably should be the same on each page.
The nav bar is solid and doesn't move with the rest of the website.
The nav bar on the first page is so small, I like the other pages nav bar which should start on the homepage.
Looks like your getting the hang of it, nice start!
Georgia

I like the textured background and the flower elements at the top. I think the font fits with your idea but doing all the body copy with it too is a bit overwhelming. Also you should have some padding in those boxes of body copy that are touching the edge. You also might want to center everything.
