Etsy shop critique

  for Houghton Studio

This is a beautiful and colorful shop. It's very peaceful!

You don't have a great banner but because you have beautiful pictures in your featured items section, it kind of fits together.

You do a lot of watercolor paintings, but the word watercolor doesn't appear in your announcement. The words from your announcements are picked by google, when people search for items to buy. So if someone is looking for a watercolor painting with births, you shop won't show us.

Your pictures are great. But you  don't utilize all 5 spots for your pictures. Also people want to see, how the picture would look like in a frame on a wall etc... You don't need to frame it. Personally I prefer to buy unframed paintings and frame it, so it fits my house style. But you may do a suggestions, how the picture would like in a frame. There are softwares which can help you to  "frame" your painting, also photoshop can help. I am sure if you google it, you'll find something.

Here is one example:

This is a super cute picture. But how does it look like in real? Give me some perspective here. 

Beautiful shop, good luck!
