 We have had this site up and running since mid May.  Our Sales are steady but I want to take them to the next level.  We currently offer product from just a couple of vendors and we will be expanding the product line over the next few weeks.
 
 The site is made from a template that was available at our hosting company, pappashop.com.  We have been able to get some decent google (and other se) placement on some very targeted keywords, but we know that to expand our traffic flow, we need placement on more and broader keywords and phrases.
 
 Our current conversion rate is in the range of 3.4 sales per 1000 uniqe visits to our site.
 
I would like to know general opinions of the site...esthetics, layout, etc.
 
Thanks for your input!

I would get rid of your patterned background image and just use a solid color, the green still would work. I would also recommend seeing if you can add the last category name with the current product name for the page title. This will help as more often than not your category name for which a  product is located in, contains keywords that are related to the current product itself. That will help some with seo if all of your product titles dont have all of the keywords included in them.

I think the template works, given the theme "quilted classics" I have to say I thought the blue text on the home page stands out a bit much but thats just me others might like it!

Jarrod - Thanks.  I felt like the new format allowed me more room to promote products without being crowded.  Let me know if you see anything else that you feel needs attention.  Thanks for your input.
