Grab a script for a check out for sure.

A website being simple is a good thing, so long as it is done right. You, sir, did it well! It's simple, easy to navigate, and is looking professional

I'd like to add a suggestion to the mix though. Wording on a website can make or break (at least for me) a potential business transaction. [Syntax nazi warning]

You could switch the wording around on the front page to make it flow a bit better.

Cochrun Rodentry is a small, in home breeder of domestic rats and mice, located in the Black Hills of South Dakota. We strive to provide the healthiest animals possible, at an affordable price. Customer service is high-priority, which is why we make a great effort to not only reply to inquiries as soon as possible, but also to keep the site up to date.


Why should you purchase you rodents from us:

* With a smaller breeding stock we can provide more attention to detail.
* We belive in giving you more for your money.
* We euthanize all animals to order.
* We provide you with better service from day one.



(put this on the bottom somewhere, or on the products page) "Currently, we are breeding on a "To Order" basis. "

For the pricing, you may want to have it in a table form, kinda like a spreadsheet. Or at least bold the "mouse" "rat", ect.

The break down in age is GREAT! I love that you put that in there.

Our sizing and pricing may be a bit different than what most other large scale (?)rodent breeders have. Negotiations and trades are welcome.

"But if you have anything" - I would take out the "but".

"Priceing guide:" - There's no "e".

I'm feelin that the trades section would look nicer in a list.

You really have a great layout on your page. Everything is pretty neat. Personally, the "why you should buy from us" sales pitch does it for me. Very professional, very concise, and draws in the attention. Haha, what do you know...seems like you found a shopping cart script while I was writing this! Very nice! Just tryin to help a bit! Okay...its 4am...I'm going to bed. :taz



(used the quotes to make things a bit neater. Just for the record, the site obviously doesn't have me making corrections! :rofl: )

Another problem with free sites is SEO, search engine optimization. This gets you highly ranked on google, yahoo etc. So if you are not looking for leads off search engines I wouldnt worry about it, but isnt the reason you put up a website to get more customers from the web?

I made some more changes, and the site is submited to the main search engines.
Thank you all again for your help

I thought you went to a host without banners? I see 3 banners and recieved 2 popups from your site!!!

Being submitted to a search engine and SEO are 2 different things, SEO makes your page higher ranked so that you can be seen on the top few pages of the search instead of just farther back closer to the end.

that is odd considering I was all over the site and i got no popups...and i am building the site on one computer so I have been checking it on the other. I have not seen an add, or a popup.

I would take a screen shot but my browser blocks the popups.

It's not a bad site what's yours is nice and clean people will appreciate that but those ads and pop ups will turn people away. As said before a domain and a cart will go a long way.

I knew I have seen your layout somewhere else before, http://atheistempire.com/

LOL looks like a fun site. I'm no good at this computer stuff. I should retire. Maby in a few months I'll have the money to pay someone to fix it for me, till then I'm stuck with the free sites/templates.

Web hosting isnt that expensive, and most cpanel's come with a free site builder. Or you could goto a site like http://www.freecsstemplates.org/ and get a free template.
