Looking for your experience with my website

Hi guys, I am very interested in your experience with my website. I made it in wix, I have no real experience coding or anything. Things I am interested:
-loading page speed (both phone and pc)
-First impressions
-Your age, general view on life and interest (to see if you fall in my target group)

Thank you!

    Hey! Here are my answers to your questions:

    loading page speed (both phone and pc)

    I'm accessing on Desktop with a pretty good internet connect (around 20mbs download speed). The website loads in 3-4 seconds, which seems fine to me.

    First impressions

    I've just loaded the website and I'm looking at the front page. I like the colours and the aesthetic but I have no idea what this website is about. There's an animation on the background which makes me feel like it might be about animation or design?

    I scroll down and I read:

    One season
    One theme
    One you

    This is even more confusing.

    I scroll a bit more and see some really nice looking prints and they have prices under them. This makes me think that the website might be a fashion brand / print store.

    I click on one of the prints and this page makes it even clearer that this is a place where I can buy prints. On the Highrise page, this copy is a bit confusing:

    Invest in the Future with Tide estates
    Gain a postmodern perspective with our luxurious flats Become one with the s k y l i n e.
    Enjoy true simplicity and peace of mind Art for art sake, comfort just for you.

    Below it I see some important information about the print itself, which I appreciate. I really like that the second image shows the print in a frame and shows it behind some chairs for perspective.

    About me

    I'm 30 years old and a software developer from London. I have 5 pieces of art on my walls, so I am quite into art/prints although I'm no expert by any means. My partner is a dancer and she's much closer to the art world than I am. I value things like economic freedom and trying to live life on my own terms.

    ----

    It seems like you are an extremely talented designer and I think your work is really beautiful. I don't have space for a print right now, but I like this aesthetic and might have considered buying if I saw these at a shop.

    The website feels unpolished and the copy is a bit confusing. For some reason, that feeling of being confused makes me feel like I can't trust this website, and I would probably not buy from it. (Of course, with some key changes to structure/copy, I'm sure that impression would change)

    I hope that's helpful! I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with this and I wish you all the best.

      Truly appreciate the feedback. I can go a long way with this! Thank you so much for taking the time. Could you explain to me what copy means? Best,

        Hi Romar,

        I'm happy to have been of some help :) copy just refers to text on your website in this case. Traditionally copy refers to any bit of text which is used to sell something, so the text on some cereal packaging could also be referred to as copy, as well as text on a billboard ad.
