    Oooh! I am hoping you were serious about asking for input because what I am going to say is not nice. Here we go...

    The background blue hurts my eyes.

    All the pics of glasses on the homepage, sort of cheapens every one. You are selling designer eyeglasses but the site wouldn´t convince me that the glasses were quality. It looks like a todo shop.

    Move your text above all those pics, give it a bigger font and subtely decorate the text with a small clickable, alt texted image of the appropriate glasses. As well as making anchor text like discounted Armani glasses here and there.

    You have a niche and I suspect it is probably a good one, but don´t make your visitors feel like they are buying from some tacky, off the back of a van shyster, make them feel like they got the bargain of a lifetime by showcasing the quality of your product.

    The second site is much more pleasing to the eye, I wonder how the first one would do if you would use a similar, lighter design....

    Dont offend, but I think It would be better if you'll hire a Web designer. Theres a lot of cheap freelance web designer out there. My people is from here webworksfirst.com ,, and I bought my templates at templatemonster,com


    Cheers!

    I hate oscommerce so much, anyway your second design is much better. The first is way too cramped, but I guess that's the OSC.

    OSC=Ugly, unless it's professionally skinned I guess.

    lol, OSC is a pain in the ass to skin, using STS I created the 2nd site, the first site was my first attempt at using oscommerce, since then I"ve done about 5 sites in osc, I'm gonna redo that site asap before putting any more effort into it.

    Lol, yeah tell me about it, I skinned OCS once for a client and it drove me crazy and it was impossible to get everything how I wanted. I want to be able to edit any part I desire and I couldn't. Since then, I have refused all OSC skin requests, for my own sanity..... :D Good luck with it.

    The logo is awful--cheap and nasty and the two words are different font sizes. Change this ASAP.

    Make is more attractive for adding models with glasses then it catching more and more traffic at website. A color combination of website is poor and also redesigns footer with most attractive modules.
