Hello. I have just launched bizium.com, a site that lets users create their own eCommerce site for free. All constructive criticism on the site's features, design or performance will be greatly appreciated!
Brief overview of the site: A checklist guides users through the process of uploading images, setting prices, selecting a home page layout, etc. A shopping cart and payment processing (via PayPal) are built in. The result is a site with a url like mystore.bizium.com. Sites with up to 10 products are free. (If people are interested, I would be happy to post information about our business model, assuming that's not a violation of the rules or spirit of this forum.)
As an example, here is the url of a live site created with the site builder: lilihats.bizium.com
Thanks in advance. (Of course, feel free to create a site yourself.)

Adding an item to my cart is extremely slow.

Thanks for the heads up. I just tried it myself and it was quick -- I'll check the server logs to see if anything was going on around the time you tried it.

Seems fine now.
BTW, if I order 1000 hats, can Liliana really deliver them in 7-10 days?

Seems No is the answer to that. It is now limited to 20 hats cart add.
Overall though, The website looks well designed to me. A bit cluttered but not too bad. As for the idea itself, I think you are about a million pages too late.

In Safari (& likely Chrome) the "Free Shipping on Orders over $100 line is pushed up above into the white, making it unreadable.

Oh, and aesthetically I think it might help if you consolidate your color scheme. it seems a bit inconsistent currently. You've got some bright greens, reds, and blues. and then some more subdued greens oranges and aqua colors as well.
