Suggestions for my stores site?

Discussion in 'HTML & Website Design' started by GReddy4u, Jun 25, 2009.

    I run a site for my store in our local mall. The site isn't fully complete as I would like to add a few more features to it soon (possibly a seperate blog with daily postings and a few more that are on the drawing board)

    www.dreamxtremesports.com is the site.

    Like I said before certain pages such as the merchandise aren't complete as we're figuring out whether we want to start up an e-cart.

    I was thinking about starting a blog with recent x-treme sports events, news, updates, etc...how I could send the blog viewers over to the main site (dreamxtremesports.com) to gain visitors and possibly new sales.

    Thanks in advanced for any time taken to help me out with this or anything you might recommend!

    Nice yes.

    I think that I'd either left align or justify the paragraphs of text though. Centered is not something I like for text, only headers...

    I decided to left align the paragraphs, but leave the first centered.
    Thanks for the suggestion :)

    *edit - actually I just went ahead and left aligned it all. I believe I centered it in the begging because I didn't have much content in that section, but recently I added a few paragraphs so it looks better now.

    Looks good but the empty space on the side bar needs to be filled with something.

    Yes, I've realized that but I haven't really found anything useful to add to my sidebar. I suppose I need to search through the widgets again and find a few things that will be worth adding

    thanks.

    Thanks, but...it isn't exactly a web store. We only sell in-store, on the site we are only going to be showing a gallery of our merchandise. Of course better than the current gallery and set up better, that part is under construction :)

    The website doesn't match the forum.
    Integrate the forum with the website.

    Yeah, that's something I need to work on as well. The site is relatively new, I'm focusing more on bringing in visitors at the moment

    i would not recomend a blog with a store. People looking to buy stuff usually are not looking for blogs

    Many people also can use wordpress to create something looks loos like an actual site rather than a blog. For these the homepage is typically the only post, welcome message, etc...Pages are created for the content and pictures of merchandise. Also we don't sell any thing on the site, so it wouldn't matter anyways, it's basically just an internet marketing tool for anyone who searched for the store or merchandise we carry.

    Your website says
    "The website you are trying to view is currently experiencing difficulties, please try again later."
    you should fix it if you want to have visitors..
    good luck

    I know the site is down, I've stated that earlier in the thread...

    I no longer need any suggestions, everyone just let this thread pass on :)
