Genuine Signed Memorabilia & Photos

Just made http://www.ajbautographs.co.uk | http://www.ajbautographs.com for a friend , He loves it and I must say he has some extremely funky Signings .. I used the carbon theme which went ok , but still fiddling with it now ,

Pop in.......

Looks great!

One recommendation, I would change the background image to a fixed position as the image repeat doesn't blend at all. Besides, in my opinion a fixed position will work very well with that background.

Nicely done! I agree on the background - I have it fixed on gothicplus.com where I use the same theme

I would also suggest watermarking your images. I used to run science fiction conventions and we had a "dealer" years ago that printed autographed photos off the internet re-inking over the signature so they looked genuine and selling them. It's unfortunately, but watermarking would help deter someone doing that.

I would also add some of the roles and tv/movies that actor has been in as tags and/or in your description. Some people don't remember an actors name, but they remember the roll. Especially for one like Helen Bonham Carter since the image you have is from Harry Potter. Perhaps a description like "Helen Bonham Carter as Bellatrix LeStrange from Harry Potter signed in black sharpie", then tag Bellatrix, Harry Potter, etc.

I would also stress the COA - I found the page where you mention authenticity, but from my experience, if it's not upfront on the product page (and even then), customers miss seeing it. Might want to create a little Authenticity Guaranteed seal or something you can put on each product page that links to that info.

Ditto re the background.

You need the "Authenticity Seal" (linked to a full description) in the header so it's displayed on the homepage and every other page. For someone who doesn't know anything about signed memorabilia (and is skeptical about the internet), it looks like anyone could have signed the pics.

thanks for all your replies , sorry I have not checked into the forums for a while , Certainly I think the fixed background is a good idea , so i have just changed i , and I do intend to watermark the images , which would be the best way ?
