Hi Wes,


The first thing that jumped out at me was the meta tags. You really need to get them fixed ASAP as google and Yahoo will index you based on those. If you look at the top where it says "tagline goes here" you will see what I mean.

The next thing that caught my attention was the text size. You need to make that larger and easier to read.


The last thing is this. Your site is good, probably the best sports card site I have seen yet but, your site can be alot better. What I mean is this:

1) You need something that will jump out at people and right now I don't see that.
2) Maybe add the button categories to the left side bar or move them to the top bar.
3) Your logo is good but I think it needs to be much wider in the template.


Recommendations:


Contact Crabby and get her tweaking on your site. Her prices are very reasonable and the end result will be worth it.



just my opinion

You've got a great start going Wes.  The text size change really made a big difference. 

Personally in all of the sites I do...I remove the Tagline from the stylesheet code and take the text out of the language file.  The tagline really limits you and makes putting a good logo in difficult.  If you need directions on how to do this, just let me know and I'll be glad to help you out.

I've found few people look at the text in the tagline and an impressive header/logo grabs their attention faster and is more memorable.  If I have a 'slogan' or text I need to add, I just blend it into the header like I did on this site:  Night Fantasies

Keep up the good work, and hope you have a ton of sales!

Hi Vinewood,

Great website! I like the scrolling window where the cards get larger when they hit center.

Is it possible to move down the line at the top in your banner.... Your source for roookies etc?  I think it would look better in the center.

I did notice several typos & spelling errors, such as polices, instead of policies; 49,ERS instead or 49'ERS; Angles instead of Angels; Waler Payton instead of Walter etc. 

Other than that, it's a cool site.  I don't know much about the technical aspects so I'll leave that to the pros!

Best of luck with your store!

[vinewood]

     ok  all  at long last    with bays  , and crabbys  help  my site is a lot cleaner  , with a new header  ! 

   give me all your thoughs    good and bad !!!

[Baysbeauty]

I think if your going to use a white header and logo background you need more white in your site to make it even.

And I think that your center boxes are too big.  Maybe only have 3 or 6 items in there.  (Your Specials)

I will stop there.

Wondered whose site this was!  Wow, another zen cart.  From what I see, it really does look nice, I would do something with the white as Bay's mentioned.

I am seeing a whole lot of Zen carts since I joined this forum and frankly, I think they are really nice sites. 

I am about to venture on a third website real soon and I am really looking at these Zen carts right now.

Anyway your site is looking good!
