A2Z Wholesale - www.a2zwholesale.co.uk

Hi

I have been working on this site for a few weeks now, and finally figured everything out about it and added a few products.

You will see it is only a small store with few products, but I Hope to expand it once I gauge the popularity of the site or not....

I would also like any reccomendations anybody has with regards to accepting credit card payments for as cheap as possible, as at the momment, I only accept bank transfer, check/money order, or nochex...

Thanks for any replies

Anthony

Pages take too long to load. You might want to check out an optimization site to get some ideas about speeding things up. On the other hand, the product images are too small. You can't make out any detail. The 'click to enlarge' popup images are great but too far in. I realize fixing one will make the other worse but both are problem areas IMO.

A bigger problem for me is not showing prices until you login. When I get to a site that won't show me their prices until I log in, I have to wonder why. Usually, before I wonder on it long, I've moved on to another site.

As far as accepting CCs goes, look into 2checkout.com

Change the title image... it really doesn't fit to the page.

Thanks for the advice guys

I will definately look into this site over the next few days

Whats the best piece of software you reccomend for optimizing images?

Also, what proportions do you reccomend for the images on my website?

Thanks

Anthony
