I tried out your site and have some feedback for you:

a) In general, I like your design, though I'm not a big fan of the flicker when you use Javascript to change the font. I'm using Chromium on Ubuntu though, so this may not show up on Windows/OS X.

b) Check out this scenario. Enter your live demo site and go to the settings page. Attempt to change a value on that page and then click 'save'. When I save the settings, I end up on an unstyled page that says, "{"success": "Store Settings Successfully Saved"}". I suspect that would scare customers away!

c) The 'add a product' page needs some work. I found the whole process quite difficult and found myself constantly asking myself what information I really need. This is problematic because I suspect I have more eCommerce experience than your target customer. The first thing I'd do is move the 'add photos' function higher. Second, I'd consider walking people through the process (ie - through a series of smaller forms rather than one long form)...

Thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely fix the store settings issue.

Good point on the add product page. I'm going to try simplifying that. Moving the photos up sounds like a good idea as well
