the hookah hitman Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Wow, this is an amazing site. Very futuristic. Can you order direct from the website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Just checked out the site...fancy...AND YOU'VE GOT [url="http://www.taqseem.com/models/stargate4.jpg"]HOOKAH MODELS[/url]!!!! THAT IS SO KICKASS!!! She is HOT, whoever she is! Nice layout, great navagation, and quite pleasing to the eye. My only problem is all the Flash animations slow the site down. But other than that, COOL!!! I've been waiting for you to get back online..besides being on ebay ofcourse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Yup, looks like a great start, but runs a bit slow with the flash like mentioned above. I especially like the elephant hookah, that thing is freakin sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Well, you've hit your target audience alright. Not being in the 15-19 age range, however, i'd have to say its probably the cheesiest site I've seen in a while. It's slow to load, The constantly looping air pudding (new agey, all fluff, no substance) music got old very quickly. There is also the matter of "taqseem hookahs" plastered accross EVERY picture, often accross the hookah itself, which is what people would be TRYING to get a better look at in the first place. But as I said, I'm old and not nearly as impressed as the youngsters are with the nice girls giving me the "bet you wish this was your ____ in my hand and not a hose" looks and poses. (If I want hookah porn, I'll go back to those sites Cypress, I think it was, stumbled accross) Give me a fast loading, simple site, with clear and informative pictures and descriptions of the product anyday! $.03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 FYI. Using IE6 (XP)..... and turning the music off........ I cant open up the pictures in the descriptions without IE shutting down. gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Ah, and please don't take this as an attack on Taqseem or his business. Many people have had great experiences with both his products and his services. Having never ordered anything from him myself I am not qualified to comment on these subjects. I was merely giving MY input on the web site. I believe he has forgotten the KISS princeple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaqseemHookahs Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hi All, All comments are welcomed. Please remember that our site is more as a Catalog. Please remember our focus is not only Retail but also wholesale. this site was designed to serve as many audience as possible from the average customer to wholesalers and distributors of our product.. First of all, I don't think there has been any Hookah company that interacts with its customers as much as we do. whether on-line or in person. I have invited many customers of ours to our hookah lounge and gave them an overview of the Stargate and other hookahs that we have. To make everyone happy 100% is very hard and you guys know that. Any how, I will have an HTML site as well and when you go to our site you will have a choice to enter the flash or the html site. music you can turn off by the way on the site. Those pictures are HUGE which mean you can zoom in and observe the hookah in great quality, which mean the watermark across with our company name should not bother the picture that much. Also, we will add pictures without the models soon. You guys have to understand that I am protecting my ideas, the time I spent to put this together and the money we spent to advertise our product. I have spent ONE YEAR to advertise the stargate that we brought to the country to FIND OUT that now there are replicas of cheap materials. the new fake stargates are advertised as stargates which people will buy because they heard of it. and now its a loss for me. I got hold of the fake stargate and will be posting pictures of the stem, its a joke comparing to ours. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I'm glad to hear that there will be an HTML site up. As for the knock-offs...I understand where your frustration comes from. You have a popular hookah style and people want to cash in on that. But the way I look at it, if people hear about the hookah and see it, they will more often than not hear the name "Taqseem" along with it. Anyone who buys a knock-off is only doing it because it is cheap and looks the same. For them, quality is second. I, for one, will not buy a Stargate unless it come from Taqseem.

mushrat Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 The local "Smoker Friendly" store here that carries splash, havana, and a little nakhla, as well as basic sultans has some "stargates". Also a bunch that look a lot like some of taqseem's artistic/figurene stems. Taqseem: are you supplying to the Smoker Friendly chain of stores?

TaqseemHookahs Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 Hello, GenieHookahs are Taqseem's Authorized Dealers. if a site have the bottom logo then they are our dealers. Plus they have to be listed on our site as dealers.

Mr Schmidt Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Now where is the index page for the models? I can`t seem to find a link to it on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sariél Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 The site just locks up my system (firefox 1.07 on OSX10.4.3 with the latest flash player available). Please tell us when you have a workable html site up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermalZeal Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Site works fine, And im guessing you downgraded the quality of the jpegs because they were taking hella long to load. not to mention, with those girls you'll use up your bandwith quick . I've been in the market for a new hookah and stumbled across this forum recently. Instead of buying a hookah from a local bar (that also look kinda bland) I saw the stargate or the knockoff that looks like it on hookah-shisha. Thanks to this forum I now know that Samir is responsible for the genuine on. Just wondering but do you offer any discounts or any extra freebee's to forum members for purchasing from you?

TaqseemHookahs Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 ThermalZeal, hookahforum members do get a diffrent price. please email me at [url="http://mailto:sales@taqseem.com"]sales@taqseem.com[/url] You can find our original 32" Stargate on ebay for $149.99 Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
