Voice 2:As a brand designer who helps musicians become the narrators of their own storylines, I had the opportunity to audit a merch brand called Poetree.

Here is what is working well on the site. The layout is simple and easy to navigate. The message on the front page immediately connects with the viewer. There are multiple product options available. The site includes a subscribe feature for audience building. All social media links are functional. Branding across platforms is consistent. It is great that multiple currency options are offered.

Overall, the site has a strong foundation. Minimal and simple design helps users navigate easily. With a few aesthetic refinements, it could feel even more polished. Adding a contact page would improve accessibility, and including a direct link to the mobile app for Google Play and the Apple Store would strengthen the user journey.

I do have one additional question. Are you positioning Poetree to compete with Poetizer. I used to be very active on that platform.

Your idea — streetwear inspired by poetry with graphic tees, beanies, sweaters, shorts, shoes, and even aprons — is super creative and unique! It’s a fun niche with a strong personality, especially for teens and young people who want expressive style!
