    The site is too plain. Just a white background, with black font, and blue underlined links. Reminds me of websites from 1998. Id get a better logo, a different template...

    I agree. The design is horrible. You really should put some effort into the design because it's clear it took you about 5 minutes to make that site. There are plenty of free templates out there for you to use and I strongly suggest you do so.

    Yeah, I would definitely scrap the entire design. Try Oscommerce - it's free and there are zillions of good looking templates for it.

    I don't really care about bad designs as long as you can navigate it, however I was just wondering if everything is drop ship or if you actually have it in stock? Because there's not really a lot of options available on your site. But then again, good designs never hurt :)

    People have already mentioned the design, so I will skip that. I would have numerous issues if I was to purchase anything from this site. First off are the tiny thumbnails. If I am going to buy a computer case I would like to know what it looks like. Preferably from multiple angles and with detailed pictures. Second, at least mention the brand of all the items you are selling (even if they are off-brand). Other than that, more products, more info and spell check would help.

    Hmm, what is your purpose with the site? your own shop? or just for 'fun'?
    there are a lot of ecommerce sites which look way better and also quite easy to use:)
    search on bigG (eccomerce opensource) and you'll find some!

    goodluck

    The site doesn't look very professional - i.e people won't buy anything because it doesn't seem like a trustworthy site. You need to make a better banner, a nice looking left column and non-overlapping images in the sell area.

    cray, there is no description on what you sell, put some description to make clear what you sell.

    I won't talk about navigation, templete, professionalism and all other things discussed above.( They are important and you need to work on them)

    MY ADVICE:
    You should try to add some valuable content to your site. Without involving visitors you can't make any sell. According to research people resisit to buy on 1st visit. So make it interesting by adding some content let them join your mailing list than and only than they will love your pitch.

    Good luck to your success

    Also I forgot to mention that the secondary purpose of this site is to bring in traffic in order to click on ads to generate a secondary income.
