“Brilliant! Really user-friendly and easy to navigate. Interesting features and articles and lots of information on books and authors.”
“The Virago website is very entertaining and useful.”
“I have found that some sites relating to books can be rather dull and uninspiring, but there is no danger of that happening with this website. The colour choices and layout make it a relaxing surf but there are plenty of interesting design features and gimmicks to keep you amused.”
“Much classier than mass market sites!”
“Excellent fun, sparky and fresh!”
“What a wonderful site!”
“If you do not know what you are looking for then a few minutes browsing will probably find something of interest.”
“Absolutely spiffing.”
“As a shopping site, the specific nature of its content is helpful and the classification of books (i.e. biography, humour, history etc.) is clearer than other sites such as Amazon.”
“It all loaded very quickly - I would say more quickly that many websites I have used.”
“Even the searches, which usually take forever were a decent speed.”
“I liked the site. It loaded quickly which was a bonus.”
“From a design point of view, the mixture of bold reds and relaxing greens is an eye catching combination. It is also well laid out. Unlike many sites it does not scream youth, it has the necessary elements to attract young readers, but I think it would appeal to older women too (although I'm no expert on what older women like).”[18 year old tester]
“It's nicely laid out, the information is useful, and I very much appreciate the sense of humor.”
“Lots more fun. Engaging – I could spend a lot of time here! Some how feels more like a bookshop where you can browse than other on-line book stores. (probably because it isn't so 'in your face' as other sites seem to be. There is a more relaxed feeling about the selling pitch, as if this is secondary to the actual subject matter – exactly as it should be!”
“Excellent job. I like the daily message and the calendar of literary and historical events. The postcards are great and I expect to use them often!”
