Hi,
Could You please check my store and help me to identify possible mistakes I could made?
I'll be pleased, if you could advice me on something...
I would like to add that I will be adding facebook like box and newsletter module, soon.
I want my website be simple, professionally looked, because I am opening luxury store and I will be selling professional Cigars and related products...
Any advices?
Many thanks

It look very nice and professional. It's a little slow when loading for the first time but i like the overall design. The Blog (wordpress) function is nice. The only thing the blog really needs is a link back to the shop. If there is already a link back then i didn't see it and you have to make it stand out more.

Can I be cheeky and ask where you got your live chat from? Thanks

Thanks guys for replies,
I hope that my future customers would like the design, as well.
By the way, if someone have a problem in modifying or creating opencart templates,
do not hesitate to ask me a questions...

Tabacus,
Site looks clean to me overall...
I would remove the link from your slideshow images as now it's just linking back to your home page so in fact reloads the page...
The top div with the language, Currency and searchbox. The border around this box could be a bit more subtle to my taste (but that's just me). And it might need some tuning, remove the language selection if you're just staying with English, if you don't need multi-currency that box might be removed as well...
Nice work ! I'm working on my first OpenCart shop and I understand it's not as easy as it seems... (unless you've been there before but that's the case with a lot of stuff)
