Just a look over see what you think really, not many images uploaded and I will be getting it proofread once I have the bulk of what data I want uploaded. Not plugged into my main wordpress site as yet.

I've basically plumbed in opencart and hacked around with the html/php/css to make it look like it belongs then layout and work how I want. I'm hamfisted with this tech so let me know if theres any silly mistakes!

Thanks!

What about having the option for different currencies?
On the header under the word 'Currency' wink

That's one of the most professional and well organized websites I've seen in a long time. Nice and simple layout which lets the content speak for itself.
Thanks!

That's a really nice layout. Also loads pretty swiftly (that's a slightly silly thing to say as, unlike some, I am on a 60 Megabagel download courtesy of some nice Virgins - however, I know some websites that take a (relative) age to load up).

Personally, I think the font used at the top is not very easy to decipher (font type and size combination). I am an old duffer though. Fonts can speak volumes, of course!

I also don't see how the "Returns" page works!!! silly but the layout has gone AWOL on that page, too. Shipping Information appears to have a typo or two around "... via New Zealand..." (And I guess you know you've got no "T&Cs")

Am a Safari user (6.0.4) .....
Thanks, website is hosted in the US should have plenty of bandwidth and the images are fairly light I think? Returns page will be zapped ore redone, hadnt got that far! Typo's will be nuked by proof reader I hope...

Not sure what to do about the font?!

Cheers! will have a look at re-arranging the header. Not sure I want to mess with the wordpress menu at the top just yet but can deal with the rest.

Right have it looking like suggested and I'm liking it.

Not as slick as it needs to be but will tidy that up later.

Tempted to have this as either the main site or a new proper domain and have the blog. Linked off that. Was considering a new more serious domain name anyhow.

I I imagine I can just point the new domain at WWW/wordpress/store?
