If you could give some details on what you need to do, are you looking for a complete redesign or some help tidying up what you currently have in place?

Have ummed and arred about stick my 2 penneth in here but decided to

I have just gone to your site and indicated to buy a couple of products as I didn't understand why you didn't want a payment method. And was surprised to see that it redirects to a totally different site. You will be seriously losing potential sales doing this.

Everytime a user/visitors has to preform a click to get to where they want to be you lose some along the way. Redirecting to a completely different site and having to add to basket again after indicating an interest to purchase will make purchasers wary.

What is your basket drop off? I would imagine it is pretty high. ( I'll eat my hat if it isn't )

You will see far better ROI and increased sales if you have a payment gateway on the actual site.

I have had a dialogue via PM with the OP about the site. I think so far as I can tell from what little I know about it, it's a hosted template site perhaps provided by the distributors of the product which is why it then goes through to the other site. I guess this is so that the purchases and commissions for the OP can be tracked maybe? Can't say without knowing more about what exactly the score is with this website as the OP didn't expand.

So it would help if the OP could explain why do they have to leave your website and go to this other site to order the products? Are you tied to this process? Does that mean you can't have your own ecommerce store and take orders direct?

OK, we had a quote enquiry from our website about this, but the email did not work, and now the site is not there so cannot see contact details to phone him. (Ernest?)

If you want to still do this contact us with relevant details, thanks.

Either way, good luck

I've no doubt it was well intentioned, but why not pop into the intro and say hello, so we know what you do, and your an all round top chap.

We do tend to get a lot of pesky single posters that namedrop and run, so we are quite vigilant to keep up the quality of the forum. No offence

Hello
Sorry - no bad intentions meant. If anything I had just opened up an account on here and whilst making head to tails of the actual site - saw an opportunity that rung bells - my bells. ... I work for a Web Design company based in Bournemouth and when spotting the message requesting the need for a Web Designer - obviously saw an opportunity that would suit my boss.

Kind Regards,

Richard
