Sorry, it might take a while though, since I've got 4 projects due on Friday. I do write a rather extensive review, so I'll try to squeeze it in this week, or if not I'll do it on the weekend.

Sounds good. No rush!

Hey there, just wondering when I might expect to have this review…
No rush, I just don't want to be wondering!

So sorry, school's insane right now - I spent all of last weekend doing homework! However, I'm pretty sure I'll have time to do it this weekend. So sorry!

Buzzy Bee Banners – Review 1 May 2020
Preliminary Inspection (9.5/10)
Obviously, the first thing anyone is going to see is the title. The title is really effective, utilising both symbols and fancy fonts. The only thing that I would say is that a smaller font means it may be overlooked, but you don’t seem to be short on orders. The banner is equally amazing, a good sign, considering it is a banner shop, though the text is a touch hard to read against the lighter parts of the background. But so far, excellent job!

Moving down the page, the welcome heading is a nice touch, as is the little introduction. I feel that they really capture what the shop’s about. I would suggest using fancy fonts and symbols, but to be honest I really like the minimalistic feel. In other shop I would be concerned about the lack of a directory, but considering the few things to organise, it isn’t really a big deal. It could be a nice touch, though. But great job!

It’s an interesting move to put order/hiring forms on the first post, but I think that was the right move to consolidate the shop into a few posts. However, the forms could use a bit of jazzing up, while still considering the minimalist look. It might be a nice touch to change the “Order” and similar headings to that lovely shade of yellow used in the welcome, but of course that’s entirely up to you!

I had a quick scroll through the rest of the pages, and determined that they are helpful but concise. The only thing I would recommend is ways to make them more exciting while still retaining the minimalistic feel. The lack of spelling mistakes also adds to the professionalism of the shop.

Overall, this shop has a great feel and minimalistic set-up, and is also concise, helpful, and grammatically correct. This shop is already amazing, but I feel that it isn’t impossible to improve further. Excellent job!

Service (10/10)
This shop has amazing service! My order was taken in less than ten minutes, and completed in twenty! The staff were all very friendly, and it was also great that my order was quickly adapted when I asked for it. It was also fantastic to see a notification on my profile stating that my order was complete, and for two staff to complete my order! You definitely wouldn’t see that at another shop. Amazing job!

Product (9.5/10)
The banners I received were both exactly to my specifications, and both showed good artistic composition, considering that I had left my order rather broad. In fact, there was only one small modification I wanted to my favoured banner. It was a far superior banner to what would be offered at most other shops. Amazing job!

Overall (9.5/10)
Overall, Buzzy Bee Banners is clearly one of the best shops on the Requests forums, with incredible service and superior banners. The layout also was minimalistic, and with a few changes could be even more attractive. Buzzy Bee Banners appears to be the go-to shop for banners! Amazing job!
