Who posts here?

Site tools
Here are some links related to this blog.
Mark i wanna try them out .. what flavour do you recommend?
the regular chocolate chip, but if u really like chocolate the double chocolate is amazing although i havent met anyone yet who didnt think it was tooo sweet
‘High quality, HANG made ..’
They need to work on their spelling!
Will order two regular chocolate chip jars and one double chocolate jar :D
we changed it ( HAND MADE ) thank you pearls ;)
hmm its a nice idea, using the cookie jar photos, however the site leaves alot to be desired. The writing doesnt contrast enough, its made entirely of images and hence runs like a dog on a slow connection and is not compatible on portable PDAs or GPRS phones (resizing wont help here)… the online ordering interface needs a workover, at least tidy it up, its a jumbled mess….
hmmm I like the use of the cookie jar photos, and the way they navigate, but you can tell that its an amateur job, something which takes away from the polished look of the product…. their labelling and jars are funky, their corporate ID is strong, its a damn shame they killed it by putting up a cheap website like that….
:)
The cookie jar photos look good! But I think they could have used flash to do a better job!
For a first time try I think they did a good job, but I think they are still in Beta
The Order page needs a major OVERHAUL! Its a site for sore eyes! The font is horrible, and too small, it doesnt match the theme of the site at all! They need to unify the theme of the site, and get it all in order..
It looks like they only remembered to put the order page together a day before they were due to go online.
I think its a great thing they are doing, and good thing you are helping them!
Ask them where they have their website hosted, because its loading slow as hell! Maybe the images have not been optimized for online usage
guess who got free cookies and ice cream to post this…:P
سلام…
I quite like it….
But talking of webs… I notice the melon’s disappeared from blindmelon. what happened?
Choowy Gooowy, Marzouq,
I agree with the fonts thing, the site simplylacks a unified look, plus the site has a lot of brokenlinks i suggest you review your site map. And the pictures on the site are very large, they definitley aren’toptimized for online use, if your afraid using smaller pictures might affect quality of the picture then slice the pictures so that they would load up faster, or give the impression to the visitors that they are loading faster.
Just placed my first online order :D
hey Mark…
The links at the bottom of http://choowygoowy.com/cookies/index.html are not working properly on firefox…err they work on ie…
I am gonna take your suggestion & order the Regular chocolate chip… :) Good day
1. hand made?? its foodd we’r talking about..not wood. HOME-MADE !!
2.About us: engineering recipes?? r u serious? sounds weird
LOL i didnt notice the Hand made and home made thing! hhahahaha
Mark email them with all these details! hehe!
I just ordered 2 jars, one chocolate chip, one peanut butter..mmmm. But where do I find the decription for each kind, like how do I know what a Choowy Mac or a Choowy Loco is?
Blogging really is the best advertising ;)
web site design is fucking cool
Marzouq the owner is checking the comments here so no need to email him :)
pink moon in the cookies section when u point the mouse/cursor to a jar the description appears in the middle.
i will try the choc chip and cinnamon oatmeal .. but why do they need 24h notice for delivery?
cuz they freshly bake the cookies every day for the amount that is needed that day. so if u order cookies now u cant get any because they need to bake you the cookies
The site is way too basic.
I noticed that “Order online” link takes you to a order form
The “Cookies” link shows some cookie jars, and clicking on any one of them takes you to the same Order form. Kind of lame, I thought.
However, in all fairness, it is great that businesses in Kuwait are reaching out to people through the net.
Consider any comments made here as constructive comments to make the site more appealing to the end users.
Oh BTW – I don’t like cookies :(
I am a fan of their cookies … but their website is terrible. I am writing this as a comment, not mean to be taken offensively.
The look and feel is very dated (1998ish); the ordering screen is very bad (you have to manuaully write in your order). And it is completely image driven, which means you can not update it easily .. and it takes ages to load on normal connections.
Oh, and the links on this page are broken:
http://choowygoowy.com/cookies/index.html
It’s a small spelling mistake but,just for the owner’s info,”gormet” is spelt “gourmet”.Keep up the good work!!
The website needs to be redone with a common look and feel (in php or asp). The ordering screen would be much easier to use if it were written in php; you could add remove items quickly. The orders could be processed into a mysql database which you could easily manage.
:)
And for the record … Imageready might be easy to use, but the coding is a completely nightmare.
Oh. as long as we are finding spelling mistakes…
enjoy the creamy lucious
should be
enjoy the creamy luscious
Cheers :)
I think Choowy Goowy people should assign K to design their site ;P
Note to the owner, I love your cookies, why don’t you come up with a No-sugar, No-fat cookies?
thank you guys so much for these comments and we will try our best to do what ever possible to satisfy our customers , and have just started we are a small group of guys who are making the site not that professional to do a wicked site ,, thank you all for ur feed back ;) and free cookies for all of you ;p
hi shopa , we are working on that ;) dont worry thank you

My 2 cents to the website..
The mainpage only talks bout cookies.. but when u goto the order page… suddenly booza and sorbet comeup!! for noobs… wot is booza and sorbet.. i guess thy wud wana know..a lil more detailing wudnt spoil the fun!
Cheers!

i’ve been reading about these cookies for months but still haven’t able to taste them..o 7adhom yishawgoon :( could i have them aramexed to dubai by any chance?;p
somebody say free cookies?
Congratulations, For your help.. this is my feedback
User-enemy :P
why all these images? and I cant read the font, the web site structure and map is not clear
No clear (contact link), i the inner pages, the user can not find the menu easily.. and the order online sectio I think i should be re-developed.
Sepnd more on te website because it really generates the sales and crate customer satisfaction and loyallity
the site needs alot of work and needs to get the fuck out of the 800×600 design
heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
i’ve seen that picture!
http://www.248am.com/mark/kuwait/five-dozen/
mark, u worked on the site?
no i didn’t work on the site. was not involved in it at all. i just took pictures of the cookies a couple of months ago and gave him a copy.
What kind of cookies are available?
