Is this small ecommerce site worth continuing with?

Last year while studying web design and marketing I made a small ecommerce site for a client. I made it just to get experience but since then have moved away from ecommerce.

The client actually purchased a better website since but wanted to ask me if it would be worth investing money into marketing the one I made.

Can someone please check it out and give me their opinion on whether they think it looks good or not. Stock is low but that's okay.

P.S. If it loads slow that's because it's hosted in Ireland, it only retails to Ireland.

Thanks appreciate any feedback.

    After looking at your website , I feel that the website still lacks the designing factor.The site looks a little dull.Also it lacks many features , I have listed a few of them below.
    1) All products do not have a "Add to Cart" button on the homepage.So the user can directly add the product to their cart when they see it without redirecting to the product page.
    2) The navigation menu needs a option where the user can see what's there inside their cart.This is something that all shopping sites have.
    3) You can also consider using your customer emails for marketing.For example you can have a mail subscription list at the top right of the page or at the bottom of the page.Where you can mention "Join our mailing list so that we can keep you updated with the latest products" or something catchy.
    4) Try to use bigger product image thumbnails, I know this might take the site more time to load but it really does matter when it comes to a shopping site.
    5) The logo reflection doesn't really look very great , try to replace it with something minimal.
    6) Try using a slider on the homepage, where you can display different images of your products.

    Tips -
    1) If you really think the site takes a lot of time to load,try to optimize your Wordpress databases. Compress the images, but make sure you don't loose the image quality because for a shopping site the images part count a lot.
    2) If you plan to use bigger images for the website, you can reduce your site loading time by making use of a CDN(Content Delivery Network)

    Security Tips -
    Try getting a EV SSL certificate it will help you gain more conversions more over it adds up to the visitors trust level.
    P.S - These SSL certificates do slow down the website by a few seconds.Since it has many requests.
