    There are a lot of words in small print on your home pages. Are tese all necessary for your visitor? I assume you really want them to buy so too much text can be tiring. Just my 2c.

      Hi,

      Are you referring to my main page for the bodybuilding supplement website?

      Ya I also feel that there is lot of text but for SEO I thought we need keyword density, did I do it wrongly?

        I agree, the bodybuilding site has a very small font. Text needs to be bigger. Just curious, on the jewelry site, are you using OSCommerce? Kind of looks like it.

      The body building site logo has some align issue: see the space between the left hand and B its small than the space between the right hand and N.

      the " BIG MAN" is not center aligned with "CAMPUS"

      And also image quality issue: especially the bg of the words.

          Of course, if you have the source as PSD, and if you don't it can be done but the quality wont be good.

    I would say.. display all categories on the main page..there are chances to grab visitors attention if they are open. Just link your pages from your landing page that would be very useful. Regarding SEO, you need to do a lot.

    When I Browse the category, I could see that there are product descriptions but the products at "Featured Products" do not have their unique description. Also, it would be good to get close-up photos on your products' materials/stones. Also, I could not really appreciate the beauty of white stones or details of the product as they are being dominated by white background. Think about changing its background that would enhance the appearance of your products' pictures.

    Here is my 2c for the main page for bodybuilding site:
    left computer image
    - it's not relevant nor does it link to something a body builder can use
    ditch it or change it

    The text is to small and painful to read

    no bullet points
    - no color
    - no video
    - no relevant images
    ie no beautiful body images

    title could be improved no mention of nutrition/body building etc

    store image goes says discover our store
    but when you click the image it asks for a location
    so i think the image caption should say find a store near you

    Create some white space on the page

    Just keep plugging away and you will get where you want to go.

    That is my 2c worth good luck.

    wow you really butchered prestashop ey?

    I would just get a basic magento theme and you would probably see a lot better results... assuming you get traffic.

    You're running an older version of PrestaShop (the newest is 1.4.5.1), and you might want to consider downloading a new theme for each of those stores. The default theme is ok (better in 1.4.5.1), but you're not going to stand out to customers if you're not willing to put in the extra effort on your website.

    Additionally, there is way too much text on the Big Man Campus front page. As a customer, I wouldn't even know where to start on this page. Most, if not all, of this information, should be moved to your "About Us" page, IMO.
