Hi - I have just created my first VirtueMart shop - based on Zeolite template.
www.cateringstickersupplies.co.uk
and was hoping for some comments/feedback before I add too many more products.
Selling stickers for catering trailers, ice cream vans, cafes, etc.
many thanks for your time.

Looks good to me. All I'd change is the star rating on the browse page, but that is a personal preference, especially when nobody has "voted"..

Many thanks for taking the time to comment.
I shall carrying on adding products and building it up.

I have removed star rating as you suggested.

Many thanks Nigel

Looks nice and works great! One quick thought: on the home page on the right side bottom position you have your "guarantee" image. Might be nice to link that to your "http://www.cateringstickersupplies.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47&Itemid=53" page. You also might want to look into a SEF plugin to make your virtuemart URLS more search engine friendly. (im using ARTIO joomSEF)

I left you a comment. Please leave one for me for www.mercoboatdocks.com. A lot of people are telling me its not easy to navigate, any ideas?

Google (and other SEs) have no problem indexing dynamic urls although for the site user they may be more cosmetic and easier to follow - but how many site users look at the address bar except to check if they are in secure (ssl) mode? More important than using SEF is having a sitemap.

QuoteIndexing isn't the issue, ranking is. SEF URLs have always been easier to rank than dynamic URLs.

Yes, lots of different views about it, though. I just prefer to take Google's advice. http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/09/dynamic-urls-vs-static-urls.html

I dont use SEF urls, and I have many #1 spots. I would say I have 5000 plus #1 spots with only 300 products.
