I sell my own limited edition prints and canvases and am struggling to sell them from my site: www.jamfrogphotography.co.uk. If you have any comments and suggestions of things which you think could do with improving ie; shopping facility, content, navigation etc, it would be much appreciated!

Looks really good and professional.
Guess it would be worth knowing (or getting website package so you could tell) if your issue is not getting enough traffic or not converting the traffic you are getting.
For former things like google adwards, or direct mail promotion would drive traffic. id also do a mailshot to all your existing customers and offer them an "invite-friend" and get 10% off (or such like) or buy two get one free.
For latter you need to think about maybe a splash page that has distict offers or themes (so you could have mothers day style offers or buy-for-mum and free delivery). id maybe try and get some quirkyness to the site - it should deliver your passion and excellence and at moment it cools but somewhat anemic..maybe you could do email newsletter or forward an email style card to friend that would allow some form of viral marketing that would build some interest. Hope that helps.

Hi,
Your Alexa rank - no data. That means your Web site is invisible to the search engines (SEs) they are infrequent visitors to your Web site.
Get this book: Search Engine Optimization - An Hour a Day by Jennifer Grappone and Gradiva Couzin. It's all you need to get more traffic.
Trying to game the search engines is a thankless task. They have computer science PHds developing their search engine spiders. Do you think you can compete with them? Not likely.
Sneaky techniques are called "black hat" optimization. Won't work. The SEs are changing constantly. You cannot find out what they do or how they do it. When someone finds a crack, they seal it up.
Linking is important. SEs love links. You have some links but you need many more.
Work hard to create more useful sites. Get great software for building web sites. One that does SEO for you.
The best way to get more traffic is to have lots of pages, 100s of them, with relevant content (information). SEs love quality content.
Remember, content is king.
Kindest Personal Regards,

You could join a local business or barter group (if you have those in the UK.)
Blog on your subject
Become an expert at About.com
Carry business cards or postcard-sized advertisements to post on community bulletin boards, leave them in books in a waiting area, hand them out to folks as you meet them.
Post some changing content on your site or monthly specials or something like that...give your site visitors a reason to return to your site.
Give a donation to a charity auction
Offer an affiliate program for a commission-paid sales force :)
Post a question like this one with your site link on Yahoo Answers to drive traffic! LOL!
Maybe some of these ideas will help.

Content gallery, blogs, forums, your own domain name that doesn't include .co.uk/ Get your domain name jamfrogphotography.ws is available. get it here. http://residualincomes.ws
product catagories. You could also sell artist supplies, provide free how to information, using an auto-responder. Offer free advice in your autoresponder on how to improve skills, best place for supplies, great works, next gallery showing, art news.
Think about this concept. Anybody who ever bought a drill didn't really want a drill, they wanted a hole.
You want to sell art.
also promote frames, canvases, paints brushes. All art supplies. Info on where your art is displayed. Gallaries, peoples homes. Have an online slide show of your work.
Historical info on artists
I'm just brainstorming.
more marketing info can be found here http://homeforwork.ws/training.html

Your site is very slick, but it doesnt matter how slick it is if no one knows where it is.
there are three key secrets to success. List, Offer, Creative in that order. Your creative is fine. Your offer? is it as good and as competitive as others offering similar services and product? If not you need to work on that area or differentiate yourself. The there is the most important which is List, which means an audience. you need to tell people you 'exist'. You have to do better SEO work or get in touch with people to let them know who you are and what you do. If you want to chat email me ch@carlh.biz
