Guest Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Adam, Your store is a mess and doesn't look very professional. Things I would change: 1) Create a better header banner to include your contact information and draw attention to the site. 2) Move the live help box to one of the columns to your site 3) Ensure all of your products or services have images loaded 4) Customize the site to remove the default colors and buttons. 5) Change the footer to better arrange that information so it looks more professional, not just thrown at the bottom of the page. 6) Install SEO URL's Perhaps a commercial template would be a better choice ??? Chris ps. Normally, site reviews require that you have 'Powered by osCommerce' still linked in the footer, but since I didn't notice it was missing until I finished looking at your site, I will leave my review.

♥14steve14 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I have just gone to have a look at your site and you have lots of missing images. It looks as if you have the whole store in a https URL. That is wrong. REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Your store does not qualify for a review here. Try reading the rules before posting. See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥toyicebear Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Fix your pages so that the SSL works correctly...now you get a warning about the pages not being secure during checkout. This is due to some elements being called via http instead of https ... usually caused by elements/graphics added with full path ie inc. http instead of just the element/graphic path. Also consider improving the checkout "flow", making it smoother and shorter.

Guest Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 can you tell me on what pages you are getting warnings I am not sure how the change them I thought I got it working but I guess not Can you also tell me does my site load slow if so how can I make it load faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥toyicebear Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 You need to install some sort of thumbnail system for your site, the images slows down the load time. Your site is not correctly set-up for ssl and when viewing it in ssl you get a message that its only partially encrypted which is caused by elements/graphics being called via http. For instance your live help on the right sid eis called via http and will give this warning when viewing the site over https Basics for osC 2.2 Design - Basics for Design V2.3+ - Seo & Sef Url's - Meta Tags for Your osC Shop - Steps to prevent Fraud... - MS3 and Team News... - SEO, Meta Tags, SEF Urls and osCommerce - Commercial Support Inquiries - OSC 2.3+ How To To see what more i can do for you check out my profile [click here] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germ Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Click the SSL implementation help link in my signature to help with your SSL problems. Read the first post carefully. It mentions things to check and try. Either your config file is wrong or the store isn't recognizing that SSL is active. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

germ Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 B.S. In the SSL help thread in the 2nd post there is a link to a contribution. Download it, unzip it, and upload the files to your store. Then let me know so I can access them and see what's up. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

germ Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 In your /includes/application_top.php change this code: $request_type = (getenv('HTTPS') == '1') ?
