Hi xiaoyinglei,

 

After seeing many other new stores that also have kept the basic osCommerce layout like you have, it is tempting to criticize that you didn't change anything on the layout (changing layout is completely optional).

 

I looked for SSL on Log_in and account pages Problem on Log_in: "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/gurucnco/public_html/wine/includes/application_top.php:1077) in /home/gurucnco/public_html/wine/includes/functions/general.php on line 33"

Problem on checkout_shipping.php:"Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/gurucnco/public_html/wine/includes/application_top.php:1077) in /home/gurucnco/public_html/wine/includes/functions/general.php on line 33" Looks like you have an extra carriage return in a file.

 

Full, prominent disclosure of name, address, and phone - excellant.

 

I would recommend that you install one of the SEO packages available. At least turn on SEO urls in the configuration panel (they really do seem to work.) The search engines really don't like "?cPath=46&products_id=261" - that part usually gets dropped in search returns.

 

Interesting logo. It seems appropriate for the type of site (ie: wine sales). Your styling needs help. You have curved border pictures outlined by the layering. You have stripes in your info header boxes for the same reason. Your category pics are way out of proportion. The pictures are all too large byte wise for quick loading.

 

The product page options limit me to only one choice. So why have product options?

 

Keep your chin up, there is a little more work to be done.

I don't know how big your company is, but one of my pet peeve's is when a company isn't what it says it is. Your site says you're "one of the leading", if you're not one of the leading I'd remove it, and if you are, I'd still remove it. It's a tagline of the fake. Wal-Mart doesn't say they're the leading retailer, Fedex and UPs don't claim to be the leading shippers, McDonald's doesn't claim to be the leading fast food authority. Really the only companies that say they're the leading are the companies who really aren't. Just my two cents, the site looks good, it's very stock in layout but customers won't know.
