Ok.. Im getting ready to launch a new online store and would welcome any comments!

Let me know what you guys think..

This is a development site so you can do whatevrer you want on it. If you place an order choose COD option so you dont have to put in a credit card number!



The test site url is here http://yes-mobile.net

Banner and menu nav on the left will be different when we go live... I'm gonna put some hot babes into the banner somehow.. hehe

I would split of the nav bar a little since it looks like to have two different ways to seach for phone/service.

By Provider(Plans)
-TMobile
-Sprint
By Phone
-Motorola
-Nokia
-etc

Does http://yesmobile.site.yahoo.net/ work for you?

yes the new link worked. It must be a DNS issue. The site looks cool. The images of the phones are crisp

You could (should) customise your META tag keywords and descriptions for each page or site section to give you a better chance of being found by search engine users and to increase your ranking.

Same goes for your page TITLEs which should have at least 7 words in them. At the moment they are too generic to be effective.

Increase the amount of text and keywords on your index page.

Maybe make your breadcrumbs a little more distinguishable from the rest of the page.

Header artwork could be a little sharper, text, drop shadowing etc. Currently it lacks impact.

Thanks for the comments jbim & Muz!

I'm going to work on search engine optimization in March when i move the store over to a php based site.. The current platform is not very flexible....

Initially, I will be using pay-per-click bidding system via overture to drive traffic to the site.

I'll get my partner to pretty up the breadcrumbs tomorrow - he still has a big list of other items to complete. heh

New header and nav bar should be in place before we go live.. I want sexy girls in the header.!

I am selling phones with service (activation)... This is interesting.. I've had more than one person ask me this question.. I think i need to make the website more clear that the phones are being sold with service.

Thanks tenblade
