AuctionBytes Critique My Site: Sunshine Daydream Hippie Shop

Mark Paradise runs Sunshine DayDream, a retail store in the Chicago suburbs that is a hippie's dream come true. The store sells music, from The Allman Brothers Band and The Big Wu to Widespread Panic and Yonder Mountain String Band. They also carry hippie clothes, patchwork clothing, tie-dye and incense.

Mark expanded online and has had his own website for 2 years. In fact, he plans on closing his store within a year and devoting his efforts on his website fulltime.

Here's what Mark says about his online site, Sunshinedaydream.biz: "I have had my website up for 2 years now and do all of it myself. I have no formal training, so it's a lot of trial and error for me and advice is very much welcome and appreciated. I use web hosting by an agent of Sam's Club. It's very affordable, and so far has worked out pretty good for me. I am looking to increase sales from my site and make the customers visit easy and enjoyable. So how about some help for this hippie turned webmaster/web designer? (terms used loosely)"
