Please Critic My Site

Yes it's new & needs more products. My hardest problem is trying to integrate the weight into the shipping, dam why is this hard thing to do? :)

 

Any constructive or other criticism is appreciated, thanks.

I like the color scheme choice of your site, it reminds me of the outdoors. When I click on a product for example https://oasiscountrystore.com/product_info....products_id/155 it appears that all the right infoboxes are shifted way to far left. This appears to be a problem with the images inside your Manufacturer infobox (they are to wide). Your but now buttons are to big and should be shrunk (https://oasiscountrystore.com/index.php/cPath/54) (also consider adding a category picture or removing the category picture to the upper right. Finally, I would remove the languages and currency box as well as the request counter in the footer.

You've made one very big and fundamental mistake. Many http pages are being redirected to https links - which means you'll never get any Google page rankings - because they don't rank https pages.

 

For other pages when I type in an http link, as in conditions.php I get a 404 error - Page Not Found.

 

When I look at conditions.php in https all I get is one long sausage of text, without so much as a line break.

 

Your Shipping and Returns page doesn't make much sense, and there is no such word as nodefective, try non-defective.

First thanks for every ones input!

 

How do I correct my pages being redirected? Please explain in baby talk, thanks

It looks as if you have two separate folders, one for httpdocs and one for httpsdocs - but only you know that for certain. There may also be a .htaccess redirect in place - but again only you would know that. One thing is certain, many http pages do not exist as http pages, so you cannot remove the redirect until that is all sorted out.

Vger I believe this is incorrect, google does index https with no problems but I do believe it is "probably" very important that it is not a redirect.

I believe HTTPS indicates a secured connection right? How would hurt my ranking on Google or any other search engine? BTW my site is not a redirect.

Your index page is too crowded for my liking. I don't know where to go first from here.

 

Your right column is moving as your center with the main page content is not fixed width. On index, the right column is further to the right than the header reaches and on a product info page it's the opposite.

 

I found the fold away kanu interesting but a click on the enlarge button only gave me the same tiny image. Items in this price class definitely need better, bigger and more images.

 

Just another little comment about all your pages being https: This way your images will never be cached through the clients browser and (if switched on in your admin) gzip compression doesn't work either. This basically means that all parts of every page has to be downloaded from the server which increases server load and especially with large images the connection speed of your visitors is the bottleneck to fast page loads.

 

As for showing my IP address underneath the counter, I'm not sure which effect this has on potential customers. I know how it is done and that my IP will show up in the server logs anyway but I don't think the average customer is aware of that. Displaying their IP to them is like "I spied on you and here's the proof". It always gives me the feeling, that if you are able to see my IP, you might also see what other things I'm doing.

Feedback and suggestions on my shop welcome.

 

Note: My advice is based on my own experience or on something I read in these forums. No guarantee it'll work for you! Make sure that you always BACKUP the database and the files you are going to change so that you can rollback to a working version if things go wrong.
