Needs more images per page in a higher quality image. If more images per page is not an option, you should at least identify how many pages are in that particular category. I figured out that the small squares tell you how many pages of items there are, but it should be in text...much easier to see upon first glance. Take a longer look at what makes certain websites great...why do you stay on one site longer than another site? Ease of navigation and visually appealing. Once you have your hooks in the viewer that way (no pun intended), then getting them to order from your site is the easy part.

Better styling is needed and the overall design just doesn't really flow. I also wouldn't use Wordpress for an ecommerce website, but thats just me. There is nothing in the content area to really break it up, everything just sort of looks stagnant.

Clicking on the image doesn't take you to the "Add to Cart" address. Only clicking the text does and that doesn't seem very straight forward. Might want to check that out. Also adding something to my cart as a non-member doesn't allow me to check out...or at least I do not see an option.

I didn't get this far but does your site have secure check out? "https"

It would be nice to know the quantity of soft plastics that come in each pack!

Man, I have to be honest with you, the website needs lots of work. I agree with a lot of the problems listed above. There just seems to be more bad than good. Sorry for the bad review but hopefully it will help make it better.

The logo is lost in the images so I don't really know who I am buying from. The white box navigation upper right hand corner over the bass image sticks out in a bad way. I'm a graphics guy but ecommerce is an area where simple is better. I want to find what I am looking for and be able to quickly and easily navigate to anything I want. Then I want to easily and seemlessly make my purchases. Tackle Warehouse does this as good as any fishing ecommerce site I know. Even BPS has too many graphics that hinder the sale process. Good luck with your venture.

I agree with this. I build every site I design off of wordpress, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with using it and it will help the site rank better in SEARCH ENGINES.

OVERALL: way to much going on, nothing flows. Like said above, TackleWarehouse.com is the cats meow when it comes to fishing/e-commerce sites. Simple is better., yet they also have crisp/clean graphics to make the page flow.

Honestly, I would SCRAP that entire layout/design and start over.
