Music for your health

Recently I came across an article that spoke of relaxation and health. Apparently the sounds of wind chimes are a major contributor to allowing people to relax. Makes sense, you're in the outdoors, a gentle breeze followed by a gentle tune can be relaxing.

I typically don't like wind chimes, I find them annoying, as a matter of fact, I find every repetitive sound annoying. However, in my search for health and much needed relaxation I came across Musical Windchimes.com Their wind chimes seem different and I liked that they provided sample sounds for each of their products.

Besides, unlike many ecommerce sites, I enjoyed the design and flow of this site. The purchase process was good and simple. Free shipping on purchases over $75 was very encouraging when you compared to going to one of those craft fairs on your town green. Most vendors charge over $100 for a wind chime, while these folks start at $45 and most of their products are under $100, and perfectly tuned.

The bottom line is that most small businesses don't take the time to design a proper site. It is understandable, most folks starting a business don't have the cash flow to hire a designer and rather spend their money in inventory. What these folks failed to realize is that a Web site is the first thing a person sees, if they see a dinky site, they will most likely decided to go shop at a major outlet like Amazon as poor appearance encourages lack of trust. You wouldn't open a top notch store in the ghetto, so why give your site a ghetto appearance.
