    Hi so I have just made a E commerce website and I was wondering what I could do to improve it and whether people like the layout. I haven't had any sales yet if anyone has some tips on how I could get some would be perfect.
    The link to the site is http://www.retrotowers.com

    The front is very hard to read. I was use something like Tahoma or Times. The logo/banner looks amateur, you may want to contract the design out to another DP member.

    Ok are these the only big problems you can see? I will consider getting a professional logo made. I will also see if I can change the font. Thanks for the help :)

    I think, your eCommerce store is under development. Some changes will enhance your eCommerce store as below:

    1. Apply responsive web design [You can make analysis from your local competitors websites. :)]
    2. Optimize Content and Images, that will improve ranks and position of your website on internet.

    Success will be in your hand!

    First Impressions: You spelled 'Kingdom' wrong on the first banner. Plus I think this banner is too high, I would reduce it by about half so more of your products show higher up the page as you want your viewers to see your products straight away to grab their attention as soon as they enter the site so they don't leave.

    You have an easy to use site, but I would put more emphasis on the Retro style and change your theme to a retro design.

    Hi there
    first observation - you need to complete your About Us page - people buy from those they know like and trust...this site just has products on it without any idea of why you have chosen these products to sell. I get that the site title is retro - but it would be improved by some background to the types of products you are selling.
    This might also help with your traffic issue as the search engines will have something to latch onto.

    The front page is very hard to read. Add on the About Us section!

    Hi miteshpadariya,
    1)I'm not sure what you mean by responsive web design.
    2) How do I optimize content and images do I have to name them?

    Hi amcg,
    This is quite embarrassing I have just notice this about the kingdom bit. I will definitely be sorting that out. I will make the banner smaller as well. Thanks for the feedback :)

    Hi Sarah,
    I have just finished the About us page. Where do i put the part where I chose these products to sell. I put a small amount of why I chose to sell them in the about us page. What do you mean by background to the types of products I am selling. Many thanks for your helpful comments.

    I think that the layout could use some work. The colors of this are a little too monotone for my liking. It doesn't seem to flow together very well due to the fact that the 'front' page is very busy. Everything good.

    I think your layout theme is boring, and too much picture in homepage.
    My suggest is just put 4 item in your homepage area, but big one, and put another picture in secondary page.

    I have Changed the font now so hopefully people can read it. And have changed the item urls to have SEO keywords in them. I still need to fix my logo I think.
