what have you worked on? it's a template.

You have no SEO elements, no SSL and the privacy policy is in dutch.

[Obewanz]

I have seen that template before, and while it looks nice on the front end, the implementation is not totally pristine. If you look at your categories with more than 2 products you'll see what I mean - on most pages the text extends beyond the boundary edge of the site.

 

Like the previous poster said, it's a template, so I don't give much in the way of kudos for that unless you created it. The implementation is ok, and I suppose if I were in the market for your products and found something at a price I was willing to pay, I might purchase something, but quite frankly you are in a really tough market as I would prefer to purchase from larger competitors like office depot or office max so that I have the return capabilities, etc.

 

That said, Good Luck with the site!

 

PS: I would take care of that privacy policy, and the SSL pronto!!

I suggest that you install the Search engine friendly URL module. Search engine friendly URL's convert your store URL's from:

http://www.yoursite.com/product_info.php?c...p;products_id=1

to:

http://www.yoursite.com/Hardware/Graphics-...atrox-G200-MMS/

This allows search engine spiders to craw your website easily converting convoluted PHP extensions to URL's that are rich in keywords. For more information please visit the link below:

It is important to make sure that each product info page contains unique Meta descriptions and keywords for each product. Although what you place in the Meta keywords tag and Meta description tag does not give any weight in the ranking algorithms of Google, it may affect what appears in Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs). For more information please visit the link below:

Consider your Title Tag as a representation of your core keywords of the most important services and offerings. Make sure that your core keywords stand out in the title of your index page before anything else. Always remember to utilize the title tag on each individual URL for its specific keyword(s) and keyword phrases.

 

Alt tags are important because:

Some of the web users cannot see images, be they blind (convert text to speech or Braille output), color-blind, low-sighted etc. The alt attribute gives them an idea of what's on the page.

Search engines do index alt attributes as well. Make sure each image on your store contains relavent alt tags.

 

A site map makes it easier for indexing spiders to find all of the content on your site. Search engine spiders or bots have a hard time following links that use JavaScript, like mouseovers. A site map with a collection of plain text links to all pages can make it easier for more pages of a site to be included in a search engine index. Consider installing the following module:

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a commonly-used protocol for managing the security of a message transmission on the Internet. SSL should be installed for all osCommerce stores because every osCommerce store handles sensitive client information (contact, billing and shipping information). For more information on SSL installation please contact your hosting provider. A SSL logo should be clearly displayed (in your footer or an infobox) so that customers know that your store is taking measures to protect their personal information.

 

Navigational menus should not contain images. It is suggested that you use a CSS stylized list for navigational menus. Search engine spiders have a much easier time crawling text web links rather than images.

 

The search infobox should be within close proximity to the categories infobox. It should be present and easy to find.

 

A Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether the user is human. The main purpose of CAPTCHA is to prevent spam. I suggest installing this module. In addition, if your contact us page contains email addresses, consider removing them.

I suggest switching to an Amazon style login example here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/sign-in.html This form of login in my opinion is very familiar to many online shoppers. For more information please visit the link below:

This is a standard template from TM. Few suggestions: Main image on index page does not contain alt tag, also check the banner on the bottom left infobox. Your logo in the header should link to the index page. Image based navigation is not a good idea. Check product pricing, http://www.digimedianet.com/product_info.php?products_id=634 0 Euros does not sound correct.
