Looking good!
Footer needs extra top padding!
Like it! :cool:
One thing I noticed: http://bazaarshotdeals.com/browse/categories doesn't have vertical scrollbar. I suggest you to add a overflow-y:scroll to body to be sure the layout is the same for pages with scrollbar and pages without. ;)
Silly question -- why is the site in English...?
Because it's easier to read on web and most of the population on internet here can read English fine. Hindi would actually make the scenario worse as it's harder to maintain plus many of the current generation can read English faster than Hindi (I myself can't read Hindi fluently :P).Quote from Nao on June 5th, 2012, 09:33 AM Silly question -- why is the site in English...?
I'm surprised to hear that!
I would have thought that you guys (not you in particular :P) had a mixed relationship with the English language, because of India's history of colonialism.... Generally, freed countries tend to ban anything that reminds people of this past. I know that use of French language in Algeria is only officially 'tolerated', for instance...
Why not make it a mulch-lingual site so as not to lose out on your key demographic but also to keep the wider audience happy!?Quote from Dragooon on June 5th, 2012, 09:55 AM Because it's easier to read on web and most of the population on internet here can read English fine.

It isn't like that in here, at least in metropolitan areas. English is fiairly commonly spoken and we have plenty of western customs (malls, pubs, restaurants, clothing etc) around (hell, we have more western customs around than Indian ones). English is also a primary language (and one of the 22 official languages recognized in the constitution) for most of the schools plus I haven't met anyone who despised English.Quote from Nao on June 5th, 2012, 11:27 AM I'm surprised to hear that!

We actually surveyed this with our clients.Quote from ziycon on June 5th, 2012, 11:37 AM Why not make it a mulch-lingual site so as not to lose out on your key demographic but also to keep the wider audience happy!?Quote from Dragooon on June 5th, 2012, 09:55 AM Because it's easier to read on web and most of the population on internet here can read English fine.

No problem, it was just a suggestion as I've come across it many of times before, where there wasn't any demographic for a certain language and when that language was added the demographic grew for the simple fact that it was available now. It obviously involves a bit more work then just creating the multilingual site but you get the point.
