with all due respect (and it's due - ecommerce is hard work), lose the animations...

As soon as I landed on your page, I wasn't thinking "I wanna buy t-shirts and masks!" I was thinking, "Boy, I've got motion sickness and I hope I don't puke."

Let me just say... I'm not a "motion sickness" type. But looking at your page still gave it to me.

Wow, I clicked because of your comment and I concur, you're not being dramatic, it's pretty overwhelming animation

I think it’s kind of awesome, in its own weird way.

Oh wow. Okay. Yes, ditch the animations. I genuinely cannot stand to use the site :(

You weren't kidding. I underestimated the effect the site would have on me.

You weren’t kidding that they weren’t kidding, I almost vomited.

Some less harsh criticism:

- zigzag circle looks like a visual field migraine before the spinning, cut both replace the logo with something slightly more unique.

- moving text is distracting.

- objects moving left to right and right to left (if you’re dead set on having moving things pick one direction).

- what’s the difference between this and redbubble/zazzle etc?
