Nice Site!!

When you click to enlarge the image it says "add to cart" and when you look on the main page it says "buy it now".

I thought you either ran on a cart system or a buy it now system for each item.

Was that on purpose, I don't know I'm new to all of this.

Hi Chuck!

Nice job. A couple suggestions. You need to center your navigation buttons and either make them bigger, or make the words in them shorter to fit them :)

On the shipping page, your table would look a lot better about 1/2 that size - it's really spread out so much it's hard to follow it.

On the faq's page - each question is in a different size or type font - they need to all be the same.

I also suggest- for each of the navigation pages, before the list of products, you should have a short paragraph using the keywords of that page - telling people more about what products they'll find there - short and sweet - but there!

Good work.

Smile Re: New Store

Hi everybody;

I am back for another review. I lost most of my store and had to rebuild. I would appreciate it if someone would go and check my store out, then come back and let have the bad news or good news, which ever comes first.

Beth, I'm not sure what you mean for navigation pages, before the list of products of products, I should have short prargraph using the keys of that page, telling people more about what products they'll find there. Could you explain, maybe I'm being thick headed I don't know.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Chuck

What Beth has suggested would require your template customized as far as centering the buttons on navigation.

To prevent losing your store in case of a malfunction make it a practice weekly to use the backup button in soho. Download the backup to your hard drive.. I keep a folder, and i keep the last two backups in it. This way if you have to do a reinstall for ANY reason, you simply do it then upload that back up and wham bam thankyou maam you have your store repopulated! Saves hair loss that way too!

Hi Chuck,

Quick suggestion on presentation:

On your text only pages:...FAQ, Privacy Policy etc. the text is right up to both the left & right hand margin, perhaps centre this, if not create a space from the LHS.

Resources: Don't know what you are going to put in here but it is blank at the moment. Maybe I'm quirky but if a link is built, I hate to see it lying idle....maybe say 'coming soon' or 'check back later' ...something similar.

G-R-E-A-T site by the way.....well done!

Michele

Hi, nice & simple & to the point. (How it should be) Ditto with Beth on the centering of the navie s buttons. Only a tiny thing! Bit not sure if the background box/shape to the navie buttons want to go up or down a bit. Either the corner to meet the arch or move it of the top completely. Once again more curiosity than anything. I wonder what it would of looked like in a green theme being a garden related thing. (Bet your in the desert) lol.

Doing well & looking good.

Smile Re: New Store

Hi everyone:

Thank you for the kind review. My wife took a look at the store and said I should find another template. So I went and did just that. I foud this one and I like it (so does she thank god) a whole lot better than the other one. So if anyone has the time could you go and check my store out again, and then let me know what you think.

As for the navigation bars my wife says she doesn't like the buttons. So I'll leave them the way they are(she's happy now).

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Chuck

Looking really well. One typo in 'Resources' you have COMMING instead of coming.
