Karl: With all due respect, and please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see any changes that you've made from the stock install other than the logo (you should probably stay away from blinking gifs, they make people crazy :blink: )

 

Instead of asking for a review, I would put in as much time as possible poking around the forums and reviewing some live sites that are in your category. There are hundreds of contributions to choose from (including some essentials like a thumbnail contrib). Just take the time to learn. It's worth it! Working on your site is a never-ending process. Once you think you are done.... oh, wait just... one... more... contrib :wacko:

 

Also, it looks like you've spent the time to insert 175 prods (I'm guessing manually) but IMO the prods should be next in line AFTER your design/development phase with the exception of maybe 10 or so for testing.

Got agree with above post, dont see anything different from standard layout, apart from logo.

 

Some of the things you need to do, IMO

 

1) Fill out information in CONDITIONS and SHIPPING info pages

2) Remove language box on the right colum, seeing as you are displaying in English only.

3) Setup some SSL

4) Assuming you are UK based, you need to change the following on your create account page CITY should be TOWN, and STATE/PROVINCE should be COUNTY

5) No need for customer to tell you their gender or date of birth on create account page.

6) Email sent regarding security issue

 

This is just a few things for you to read up on.

Hope it helps

But for the logo in the header and the image contribution in product info, I really can't see what you have done.

 

If this is your first osC store then by all means you should be proud of yourself but being proud that you got this far is basically a step in the right direction, not the end of your work!

 

Try adding fixed width and use the stylesheet to give your site some real colour.

 

Good Luck

I would consider removing all the capital wording and replacing with mixed case.

 

Also, the categories box is really hard to read. Some titles take up multiple lines, and there is no easy way of figuring out the full category name without mousing over.
