1) You need to change the alt tag on your top banner. It still says osCommerce.

2) Your "lets see what we have here" gif is missing.

3) If your site is only in English then you don't really need the language box.

4) If you remove the language box you might want to make the banners more the same length. Move some boxes to the right banner.

5) "Copyright ? 2003 osCommerce". Don't forget to change that at some point and update the year.

6) On your catalog/create_account.php page do you really need Gender, Date of Birth, Company.

7) Might want to get some more opinions but selling Jewelry you may want to cut the list of countries that you sell to down a lot.

8) The "Let's See What We Have Here" on your product pages can be changed with a contribution called "catagory descriptions".

9) Your pictures and the background of osC on your catagory pages are slightly different colours. If you could make the osC background match the products it would look very professional.

 

Keep up the good work :)

Do you think it looks like a Pro site?

Nope. But then again it's little more than a stock OSC site with a few minor changes. You're not going to have anyone here get excited about that.

 

For starters, lose the splash page. It doesn't do a thing for your site except require your visitors to make one more click.

Basically, i am doing what i can without learning php.

 

I still got a lot to learn, this is my first php project!

 

Also, i really just wanted to make it look good enough for people to buy the products. If i can, i will snazz it up, if it will increase sales.

You have some missing images in Newsdesk, might want to reload them again.

 

Is there anything you can do with the white around your products? It doesn't match the blue background.

 

There is a lot of wasted space in your search box, maybe tighten that up a bit and make the word "search" a bit bigger.

 

I have about 1/4" scrolling on the screen, maybe less of an outside border would be better.

 

With the stickies do you need reviews also?

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_catalog_href_link() in /home/sites/site79/web/catalog3/login.php on line 102

On your login page

 

Other than that error you are off to a really great start here, keep it up.

If it is just the standard osC file I would reload the file. If you loaded a contribution then I would go over the instructions again, you might have missed something. Then search the forum section and if that fails post it to the appropriate forum. I have enough trouble fixing my own error messages so I can't help you more than this.
