Not bad for free web hosting, huh? I know it's very simple, but that's what I was going for. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. I can change the whole theme with just a click, so if you don't like the colors, feel free to tell me.

I couldn't get a web submit form to work for submitting the payment details, but I'll just do that through email.

Thanks all. :)

haha I love how lazy ATOTers are. On that note, it will be a cold day in hell before I open a new window and copy paste that address.

It needs more content and it needs less ads. the interface is okay, but could be better. Also you need more detail in billing especially.

Hmm... What about a firefox extension where we could highlight the address and it'll open up in a new tab?

too many ads, navigation is too small, you have a contact us form, and an e-mail link :confused:, too much blank space

I know, ads :disgust:, but hey, it's free web hosting. What payment details would you suggest?

Since I couldn't get a web reply form to work, I will have to post the details and communicate by email.

Just get some cheap ad-free hosting man, the google ads are irritating, so is the banner on the top of the page.

HostPC gets as cheap as $2.49 a month (many ppl end up paying more for their coffee at starbucks). search ATOT for "hosting", you'll find a lot of posts. or, you could just PM RossMAN, he can suggest good reliable hosting.

You're trying to run a business, and you use free hosting. Are you 13?

How about Cernax hosting: $25 / year

50 MB space (plenty)
1500 MB bandwidth

Their servers use Intel Xeons with 2 GB RAM and RAID arrays. Are they about the best quality hosting you can find for that price?

Really, I wasn't planning on using the free hosting for my website, I just wanted to try it out. I thought the prices weren't too far off either; I might be able to sell it cheaper, too. :)

I agree about the google ads. Looks unprofessional for a website that is trying to sell something essentially advertise for other stores. The top bar is also irritating because it doesn't match the rest of the site at all.

I've seen a similar template before, and to be honest, it looked better that time. I'm not fond of the alien looking crop circle images that serve no purpose on the left side. Also, I've never understood the purpose of a splash page, especially for vendors. Why do you want to put an extra step in my shopping process that serves no purpose? Since you have all of the same links on every page anyway, get rid of the splash page. Also, that page doesn't match.

Also, you said you couldn't get a web form submit to work for payment details, so I'd imagine you're not familiar with web programming (CGI, Perl, PHP, ASP, etc.). If that's the case, DON'T EVER request payment information (CC number and such) over an unsecure form. And if you do figure out secure web submissions, DON'T EVER store that information in plaintext. Unencrypted email is also unsafe.

And if this is meant to be legit and you expect it to grow to a real online vendor, I imagine "no tax" is not legal.

This really was meant to be constructive criticism and not just criticism.

1. Get a shopping cart
2. Redesign the entire site. It's an online retailer, not your blog.
3. A logo would be nice.
4. A standard theme would be nice.
