secretuser Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Gosh, there are so many problems, it is hard to determine where to start. 1) BIGGIE: Why on earth do you not put your OSCommerce shopping cart software in a shop subdirectory. You know that it took me over 2 minutes just to figure out that I had to click shop on your main page to get to the shopping cart software. Your main page is so messy and so obnoxious that you will probably loose 95% plus right there. Get rid of it. It doesn't really tell me anything about your business. In fact, OSCommerce can provide all of that information in a much cleaner format. 2) Your OSCommerce is shopping site is very problematic. I click on the I ROCK 5S Scanner and then your website goes crazy with a small area for the product description and an enourmous area for the manufacture info. It ruins all the formatting. Worse, it doesn't come close to fitting on a 1024x768 screen. You should not exceed 800x600 at any time. 3) Get rid of tell a friend, languages (you are only using one), and notifications (no one will ever use it and it clutters the site). 4) Your 'lets see what we have here' image is missing. Also, I suggest you change the text to say something else. I also suggest getting rid of all the cheesy OSCommerce icons. 5) Unless you have some absolute reason to obtain ones birthday, I would get rid of it as it is to personal. 6) Your conditions of use and other text sections contain numerous spelling errors along with grammer problems that should be fixed. These might not get you sales, but it might prevent you from losing those paid clicks from google before they even see your shopping cart.
♥14steve14 Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 !st poster is right in all they say so will not spend time writing it al down again. Once i got yo your shop, the first thig that i noticed was that some of your catagories are listed in lower case and other in upper case. I would pick one and keep them all the same. You should also loose the numbers next to thew catagories as this will speed up you page loading time. When i finally picked a product, its description was all over the place, and difficult to read. Text formatting is easy, and doesnt take long, but it also adds to the page. Its hard to read a page of script, but ifs its formatted its so much easier. Again some are in capitals, and others lower case. I think your manufacturers logos are too large and throwing the pages out. Reduce them, or remove them. Your buttons are stock oscommerce and really need to be changed. Pick something that matches the rest of your site. If necessary make your own. In your manufacturers box, again the text is mixed, as it is throughout your site. On your index page give a brief description of what you do, it may also help with your page ranking in search engines. Adding a meta tag contributioin may help you here also, as may other seo contributions. Dont take this all to heart, its meant in a nice way. All you have to do is loose those silly oscommerce pictures, format text, pages, sort out your descriptions, resize images, loose the unwanted boxes, and you will be getting there. If you like your site as it is, leave it, but if you did like it, you wouldnt have asked for comments. REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP
Sincraft Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I know MANY MANY websites that are just as stock osc as your site and make over 100k per year. The big thing here is you have 8 seconds TOPS to sell something to someone. What exactly are you targetting with your google ad words? You should have that product feature RIGHT AWAY when someone visits your page. If its just in general, then you should start with a quick blurb and immediately list a few products from your main page to lead them into your sub pages. Yes the graphics are a bit - out of taste for me, but I've seen many many many websites with horrible graphics do very well. People are more concerned with surfability rather than the look of a website - professional or not...to some degree. Work on selling the product and getting the eyes to find your store/product links - then work on making the site look a bit more professional and cool looking. Lose the button maker too :) GL S
