I'm setting up a new site using opencart with the opentshirts designer. Right now I'm just using the default template, which I plan to customize later on. For now I'm just trying to get the products set up, and make sure everything is functioning correctly, and is user friendly for customers. Any suggestions for improvement will be appreciated

Proofread everything: "specialize in screen printing" needs its "s" and there may be others.

In current Firefox seems to function okay (didn't try everything). Loading is a bit slow but this morning traffic seems a bit slow. Video (do your own) arises without warning, and since the various browsers' video plug-ins can interfere with an already fully loaded browser or busy machine, it would help to tuck in a forewarning as simple as "Video" (both the categorical and the footer links to that go there, some people won't expect both to go there and won't glance at the status bar to see where they're headed).

Your own logo shows differential lighting of the ring, but is thin enough to warrant suggesting that you have three versions, the one you apparently like, one with the ring's own substance thickened enough that the same effect finally comes across, and one that is just solid for the sake of presentability when it's reduced too far. You're perfectly entitled to have trademark or service mark variants.

It looks clean enough but very 'included template' in style and there are 100's if not 1000's of websites that look just like this. I would suggest having a think about adding a background colour or texture, maybe have a graphic designed that can be tiled?

Alternatively, spend $40-$50 on a really nice theme such as those you can purchase from ThemeForest. This would really give your website a bespoke look and attract the attention of potential buyers, which is after all the key to achieving most sales.

Hope this helps!
