So I started an E-commerce site and...

2011GT1979 · October 4th, 2011, 08:26 AM

I need your help. I know you guys are great for being honest. If you could just go over the site and let me know what you like, hate, would change, add, ect...

I launched the site about 1.5 weeks ago. I am still working on it daily and need to add about 50 more products.

I will also answer whatever questions you guys have on what it took to get started. Maybe someone else will want to give something like this a try.

Thanks in advance guys.

EDIT: by popular demand (Mustangkid87) here is a Modded Mustangs discount code. MM6 that will get your 6% off everything on the site.

I like it. Thank you for not having all your products on one page and making me scroll down for 5 mins to find the one I want.

My only suggestion would be in the "RC Buggies" section. Maybe give an "All" option if people aren't sure what they're looking for and are just buying based on price. It's not really a major issue though.

MMer's get a discount right?

Well, its not loading very quickly right now. Is there a banner across the top with the name of the website? Otherwise it looks fairly clean.

Hum... that's odd. I linked it to a friend and he said it took a while to load also, but it pulled up right away for me.

MM6 is your discount code. 6% off everything!!! Just for you.

I will make that change in a few minutes on the buggies.

I just loaded it up on a couple office computers. It pulled up pretty quick. Not sure what the deal with it going slow for you is.

There is a logo at the top of the page that maybe didnt load.

Ouch! You are using Volusion's services for your website. That must cost a pretty penny. I have clients (I'm a web developer) who I've taken off Volusion's services after they hired me and I can't believe how much they charge for their basic services.

One of my recent clients went from paying $50 a month to almost $50 a year on hosting alone by switching to my hosting services.

In regards to your original topic, the website looks simple and basic. Not too bad for a starter.

Tech Specs for the F18 just gives html code and the features are missing.

Otherwise, looks good, clean, easy to navigate.

After allowing my NoScript for FF for your site it loaded pretty much instantly.

Site looks great but im not feelin the color scheme. It just seems to plan and boring. Its doesnt give you that shock and awe feeling when you first look at it. You want to attract and hold people attention.

I am all about saving money. If you can build something comparable I am open to it.

Send me over a PM on some stuff you have done. As for hosting. I host it through godaddy because it was like 90% cheaper than volusion.
