Hi Guys,
I'm interested to get some feedback on our site.
We love opencart and it's been a long old road to get it to do what we want but I feel we are there.
Appreciate honest and open feedback.
Website is: http://www.fone-factory.co
Thanks

Slideshow does not display (Firefox 22.0 on Windows 8 pro)
The font in the menu and buttons causes an interference pattern on my monitor. I changed it for another font and the issue went away.
That orange in the menu is overpowering
Funny looking text (model ?) in the search dropdown e.g. I searched for sa
Also some prices are on the next line (box too narrow?) and there is no gap between price and text on others
Not much text about DSR - This is wrong: "The item must unopened, Unused" and ILLEGAL
Welcome visitor you can login or create an account. is almost lost on the dark background
Blog needs to be integrated with the site
Put some more payment icons on the site
The home link needs to be SEO'd

Subtle background is effective, even if it may be a templated theme, and I'm okay with the orange that I've seen without delving into every pushable button. Logo is fine. Current Firefox 22 . . .
Good start. Not there, yet. Try to see it on several machines, in several browsers. Hit ControlA (or Apple counterpart) to see instantly where your contrast is, well, not. Slide show doesn't slide or show. Rewrite the returns ditty completely. Do not copy them verbatim, but look at a few return policies that were written by legal staffs. Where is the rest of distance selling? The green button isn't it. However, the green button diddybops onward into . . . wonderfulness. Just how many times are grownups perusing frequent questions supposed to click in order to reach virtually nothing at a time, e.g., through the entire Land of Frequently Asked Questions to find Oz telling how to log in, without enough detail that anyone who actually is computer illiterate would ever figure it out, no matter how much fun the unnecessary maze may have been? That happened to be the first item clicked, dinna wanna even see t'others, dinna click 'em.

Its the standard slider that comes with OpenCart.Slideshow does not display (Firefox 22.0 on Windows 8 pro)
Funny looking text (model ?) in the search dropdown e.g. I searched for sa
Again standard font that comes with iSearch

Seems the width was set too low. I've now corrected this.
Agreed, changed this now.Welcome visitor you can login or create an account. is almost lost on the dark background

We intend to only use sage pay, in the next month - we won't be accepting PayPal, Google Wallet etc these are just temporary.
Not too worried about organic at this time, as we are paying for adwords to drive traffic.The home link needs to be SEO'd

Im really proud of our logo. Its strong and unique and alot of time spent developing it.
It is templated, agreed however, I lie it just needs some tweaks.
Agree reference returns it does need to be simplified or make it 1 or 2 clicks to get your answer.

Nice site! I agree though that the orange is a little hard on the old eyes of mine 
On the "truck" about free shipping it written Delvry! I think there is an "i" missing

Never even noticed! Will pull our graphics guy up on this.

Any suggestions to what would look better?

It's the first thing I have noticed after the orange color
Maybe because English is not my first language I have to really read because my brain is not familiar with English word like it is with French ones!

Ah! Delivery looks better!!
Don't bother with the orange color if you like it, it's your site and there will probably be just a few like me who will find it aggressive to the eyes!
I prefer soft color and last year I hired someone to update my site and he suggest I change my theme to add new functions and I accepted and all the themes he had were to dark for my taste like black/dark green/etc. so I choose the red one but all the time I had that theme I didn't like it! So a few weeks ago I decided to go back to the previous one I had and added all the new functions to it.
So now I'm in love with my theme again but some might find it too "guirly" or old fashion but it's my taste! So that's why I said if YOU like it it's your choice and it's your site!
Good luck and many sales to you

Agreed I do like it and it does suite in well. My main concern is I want to capture every customer that comes to our store and grab their attention. Not sure if the store does that right now or not.

We all have that same concern/question when we start an online store but I believe that the only answer is: Time and feedback from visitors/customers
Edited to add: When I post my link in this forum last year to ask for opinion about the new look of my store I received some very nasty/bad comments about my taste and the developer's design, it turned out so bad that I asked the moderator to remove the whole thread.
Since then I never asked for opinions I do what I want and the way I want it!

As you rightly say the logo is very strong (and I like it)
The orange detracts from that strong image
Try this site: (I know it's for Bootstrap but it gives some ideas)

I'm almost thinking about paying a design firm to redo the website but not sure if I want to spend that kinda money. I know I want to stick with Opencart - it does what I want, although we have got about 15 modules installed.

Why would you do that? You like it no?I'm almost thinking about paying a design firm to redo the website
I just went back to look at it again and noticed something, the 5th slide/picture is showing at the same time of the 4th one! Well it looks like there is 2 number 4 picture
Just check the slide show carefully and you will see what I mean

I like it but does it look "good enough"
I've noticed thata few times, number 4 merges into number 3 or number 5. Maybe a problem with the image.

I just went to watch the slideshow very carefully and it looks more like there is 6 pictures and only 5 slots!
It does look good, like I said I like soft colors, some likes dark and some likes flashy ones!
Every time I go to a site with flashy colors I have the same reaction like "ouch my eyes" but that won't make me go away if it's where I want to go. It's only because I have problem with my eyes.
You seem very undecided about the choice you have to do! In your first post you said:
You should start with it the way it is since you like it and along the way you will see if you still like it or if you want to change something.
It does look good don't worry anyway you can't please everyone The most important things is to make sure that everything work perfectly. You know many people use only the default template and are doing very good!

I've fixed it for now. Seems there is problem with that one image. Ill have to get it remade.
I do love opencart, I wouldnt change that im just wondering if our design is good enough to compete with the big boys. Only time will tell I guess. I am just wanting it to be the best it can.
