Submit Your Site For Review Need a fresh set of eyeballs to take a look at your site? Have a specific issue or question about some aspect of your layout, design or interface? This is the forum for you. When submitting your site, be sure to discuss what aspect you are looking for input on. Just posting a link with the word 'review' isn't appropriate.

First of all, you should have your credit card info elsewhere on your page... preferrably at the bottom and make the graphics much smaller... you are not advertising CC services, but your own garden site.

2. This text should be your tagline and therefore appear under your site name:
"Organic and Hydroponics SuperStore"

3.The first thing a visitor should see is text information about who and what you are and sell... not photos of your products.

4. Your text that is under the initial set of photos is too small... and some of the other text is much too large... you should use a 10pt (size 2) text for most of your site... and important features can be in 12pt and bold....

5. The photos on the index page that are your specials should be thumbnails.. and open to a larger view... this will make your page look more professional and not cause a visitor to scroll down.. which most of them won't do anyway...

6. You should have text links on the bottom of your pages... so that your visitor does not have to scroll back up to navigate your site.

The colors are good... although green is not usually a great color for a site, it works with your topic and products...

The site loads quickly and navigates easily...

your copyright info should be in a very small font... preferably 8pt.... and "share this site with your friend" is not professional... if your visitors want to send this site to someone, they will do it without your encouragement.

You have a very good start... just a few minor adjustments are needed...

Hope this helps... good luck

Also, I checked your meta tags... the title tag should appear more as a sentence with your primary keyword phrase first.... the max. number of words in your title should be 12 words.
Your description meta tag should also read as a sentence with your primary keyword phrase or word first... the max. number of words should be 14.
you have no keywords in your keyword meta tag.... you appear to have put them all under the title and description tags... the max. number of keywords should be 48.
check out the meta tags in other sites to see how they should be done.

I agree totally with Mary Ann (1st posting) and had the same thoughts: Make credit cards MUCH smaller, move your tagline under company name...
A few other suggestions: Shouldn't your "PayPal verified" image connect to PayPal's page that lists the proving info? They provide the code for that.

Also, you might consider making the links--under "Categories", "Price Range", etc.-- white (as well as larger) because the blue on green is hard to read.
