Finally my webshop is also finished. Not that special but its OK.
About 10 days of work on it.

We sell retail Microsoft software products.
Still try to change the menubar, but need to figure out how.

Your site is quite slow and bloated, with too much of wasted screen space. Use a faster standard compliant web theme and stay with the OpenCart frame.

Try temporarily with the default theme, to compare the loading speeds. The Journal3 framework is quite bloated, and often several times slower. It also makes your site 80% non-Opencart in terms of the number of PHP files. See this forum thread.

Despite this, there are still some things you can do. Avoid Journal equivalents when there already corresponding faster Opencart pages.
