#32Design feedback: Your 'buy now' and 'learn more' buttons on the homepage are very hard to see. They need to stand out. Make them bigger and bolder, or change the color (red would stand out much more and still fit into your overall theme), or fade out the background slightly. Or, ideally, do more than one of those things. You really don't want those buttons to be hard to see. Cost and details of what you get should be…

#33- I'd also feature the price right there -- "We deliver a pair of socks once a month for $11."
- Feature pricing on "About" and "Subscribe" pages.
- On Subscribe pages, where do I enter payment info? Why page doesn't have SSL? (I assume payment info is submitted on the next page, but it is not clear -- maybe change "Submit" to "Next: enter payment info")
- I'd change "Write/Contact Us" at the top to "Buy Now".
Edit: formatting

#34I think there's a big opportunity here on the gift front too- everyone gets socks from a relative at some point! Let relatives buy subscriptions (the socky gift that keeps giving).

Wow, I didn't even know they were there until reading this comment. Also, the links to your blog posts are "not found."

#39A couple things - on the subscription form you might need to provide some details about what countries you can ship to (The "State", "Zipcode", and lack of a "Country" input box implies that it's only for U.S. addresses but it should be explicit).
I was also unclear on whether subscribers would be charged for shipping costs (is it included? or extra? If it's in addition to the $11/mo, can you provide rates?).

#40I think it would be good to put a link to this and similar news items on your home page. Fashion trends are mostly stampedes, many people would buy your socks if they know people from FB and Twitter are wearing them, i.e. it's a new trend.
It has links to your competitors but I think the trend validation is worth it.
