Hi Guys

I have gone from a hand coded html site to an Opencart site.
Still work to be done.

www.adovationz.co.nz

But what do you think so far ?

Do you like the slide show (5 slides)

Would you buy from this site ?

What could I do to improve it ?

oops i posted the right comment but in the wrong thread . will comment on the site later today

edit:

Font is too cartoon like and you need a proper logo (see pic below as an example, font is the free Bree serif)

slideshow would be better left aligned and made to take up all the available space

this bit "

Adkafs
The desktop coffee mug holders from Adovationz, made in New Zealand.
Ideal for
Computer Users
Boating people
Disabled people
Office workers"
is messy - make it a real list and use normal colour text or a pale grey

i have a FAQ for you : "what are they made of?"

Hi Daviemies

Thanks very much for looking at my website.
I think your points are very valid.
I will add the FAQ you suggested.
And I agree that my logo is not very good.
Its home made as I am not a designer.
I can see that my home page needs a good make over.
But until I get some sales going I am short of cash.
I wonder if a professionally designed page would increase my sales ?
My hardest job at the moment is getting views.
You knocked up those logos very quickly !
You may wish to PM me about them.

Any comments from anyone else.
I see that lots of people have had a look at this thread, but only one review ?

The website loads very slow. And the logo looks unfinished

But cool product!

@TextGiraffe
Thanks for the comments.

Yes I agree on the logo, I did it myself, but I may get a pro to do one for me!
Thanks for letting me know that it loads slow.
My site is hosted here in New Zealand.
So I imagine that if you are in the UK or Europe or USA, it may be a bit slow.
If I can get some regular hits and sales going then I will look at getting it hosted in Europe or the USA.

My problem is that no one knows that it exists so they won't be searching for it.
And I don't have a big advertising budget.
Glad you liked my product

Your website looks ok. but need some attention:

1. the logo, Get something appealing, something that blend with your color combination and the background.

2. the slideshow, you need good quality pictures and they should be same size (length and height).

3. The red coloured fonts on the left side seems out of place to me.. try someting like grey/light blue.

if you are willing to pay for logo and the whole look design try 99designs.com they have freelance designer over there.

Take a look at my two website Fdiengdoh and lynsdien below, and see some other websites on the net you'll learn a lot...

I agree with davemies. I personally like OpenCart´s default design, so I think that with these logos you´d be fine
