Want to make sure I am heading in the right direction.

Just implemented oscommerce with a few customizations...

Can you give me input on the layout, images, and copy?

I am getting the traffic, but sales are below expectations....so changing to this format.

If you were a consumer on my site:

1. Would you buy?
2. Why not?
3. What would change your mind?

My current shop is at http://bythevineyard.com

Is the new one an improvement??

Many many thanks.

I thought the site was nice, simple to use. So many sites I have been to overwhelm you with crap and really can never find what you want. Your site, is not such a site. It is concise direnct to the point and easy to use.

very easy to navigate, liked the layout a lot; not overwhelming in your face "buy from us now" type or site, quick to load too! The only thing I couldnt find was a "home" link. I know that it's not totally necessary but many find that going back "home" helps them when they get lost in a site.

The site loads very quickly which is an essense to any successfull site. meta Tags are well used and ready for search engine submission. Navigation is cool, though you changed the orthodox look of OsCommerce sites, but still the skin used is pretty navigateable. The only thing missing is that pretty look. I mean.. eye catching look that can make the visitor think, well.. lets stay here for a while, its such a cool place.

Good luck with your site.
