Do you have a link to the product?
Website: http://www.tenga-thengisa.co.zw
Android App: http://www.tenga-thengisa.co.zw/app
I’m lost here, is it a mobile app / a web app? Where is the download link or rather any link to get a feel? As a reader I expect these details to be part of the article.
its a shopping website http://tenga-thengisa.co.zw/ , which also have an Android mobile application, to download the application for this link http://tenga-thengisa.co.zw/app
I think it’s generally the norm to post a link to the actual app or website if you write an article about it.
The link has been edited you can find it in the article or alternatively here:

Noble idea, but, In My Honest Opinion:
– Their name is shiddy
– Their site looks shiddy
– Haven’t downloaded the app (prolly shiddy as well)
If you are not UX person, or a designer, please purchase a WordPress theme.
be creative with the name. I googled it, i tweeted, i tenga-thengisad it.
yes no excuse because there still students industry standards, there thinking Zimbabweans won’t notice shiddy. Hamuite
