    Hi there

    We have been working on this site for a while now. Site gets good traffic, & few sales. Can anyone suggest on ways to improve the site so that we can improve sales. The store is a physical one, represented online. http://www.metrohomecity.co.za

    Try to advertise on other websites, and make the descriptions of products longer, this will boost your SEO :)

    thanks guys. If you come across anything that is wrong or could be improved, please state.
    The descriptions are kept short for the purpose of keeping things clean and reducing the clutter and for easy management.

    Hmm let me see... I'd suggest you create a more professional design in order to attract more customers. Don't know, but gives me a feel of "old website".

    I agree, the design needs to be more professional. Plus, not only have I never heard of MyGate, I can't click it to view a verification. IMO, you should use a more trusted payment processor like Authorize.net, VeriSign or Google Checkout.

    Hello,

    you created the website good but at the section of "Featured Products". These Features are looking black & white. If you can provide those pictures with more colorful then it will look more beautiful...

    I would suggest investing in a Premium Theme, Your design is nice but for a little extra you could have something incredible.

    thx
