Coastie Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Hi Guys, Hoping i don't get grilled, so i am going for the gutsie move and putting my shop up for assessment. will the URL is Here Let me know what you think. :thumbsup:
Guest Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Hey there. Ummm, please get rid of the music! Causes the site to take longer to load, plus the music just doesn't fit with your site. At the footer - put in your company information with the current copyright date. Since you have the login/register box on the left hand side, there's no need to have that in the main part of the main page (Welcome Guest...) I clicked on Shipping/Returns and it took me to the login/register page. Deliberate or error? Since you have so much running on your site: feeds, etc, I would drop the page transition elements - it drags for us dialup users. I clicked on the only category you have and again, it went to the login/register page. If a customer can't even see the products you are selling, then you have lost customers. Otherwise, the site looks pleasing.

Your footer info still displays "Copyright ? 2003 osCommerce" and should have your company name there. Also instead of using that one category to hide all of your subcategories, why not make them visable from the beginning? A first time visitor will instantly be able to tell what you sell, and having more than one category makes it seem more professional.
Coastie Posted February 22, 2006 Author Posted February 22, 2006 It must be your machine that is taking you to the login page all the time. I have tested this on heaps of machines and it does not do it on any of them I agree about the music.... and guys that is only 1 of my cats. I have pulled the site back to allow for manageability. there will be a couple of more cats going up soon.
Flyer5 Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 looks pretty stock apart from the drop shadows, i dont like the page transitions, besides they fail in my firefox. i would finish customising the stylesheet, you still have some boxes witht eh default blue backgrounds. youre asking for my dob, i would never register. you have an image missing from that page (create account) change the copyright notice to your company drop the scrolling boxes they irritate ther is too much whitespace on the index and product listings, maybe try and balance the left and right boxes a bit better drop the date and requests in the footer, there of no use to anyone. do something with your banner to make it fit the screen add some proper terms and conditions of trade i dont get the keys on the index page? just my thoughts, but a good start so far.

Guest Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 I didn't get the music, I got the "you are missing plugins" message :thumbsup: I am only going to comment on the main page. You have; Hello Guest! Would you like to log yourself in? Or would you prefer to create an account?

Would you ..." is the MOST important text on the page as it shows up first. :( Then as a customer I have to read all this text in a terrible font to figure out what you do. I guess you do; - Microsoft environment - what ever that means - manage your requirements and business needs - meaningless to me - requiring networking - that is a good keyword - Virus Removal - good but does not tell me if it is onsite or anything else - Email, Wireless, Imaging or workflow processing - blah blah blah, same stuff as before, I learnt nothing. - If your business is a mission critical environment...... again not much said. Your main page is the most valuable resource your company will have and to me this main page is a waste of web space. Why should someone come to your company over all the others out there. Why not focus on each section and divide the page up accordingly with a good title for each box. Have something like; Mission Critical Protecting your Mission Critical data, communications and power systems is what we are internationally known for.
