Please help me critique my friends site

Hi All,
I've regularly helped others on this forum when they've asked for tips on how to improve a specific site's SEO. Now I'm asking for the favour in return
My friend has come to me with a site (http://www.swishplastic.com.au) and asked me to help with SEO and on-page optimisation. I've got a few of my own ideas but there may be a few key things I'm overlooking. If anyone could give a few pointers, it would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Thanks Andrew. I definitely agree regarding the white text.
Was hoping for a few more answers
Here's what I had in mind, please let me know if you think I'm way off:
- Having a blog on site and a blog excerpt on the homepage with a snippet of the latest post (cocktail recipes, hosting parties with the correct glasses, polycarbonate vs regular glass etc) (unfortunately can only create on a subdomain on bigcommerce)
- Increase the content on the homepage and add cocktail of the week, glass of the week, links to individual glasses etc
- Making the main homepage banners smaller in height to move more content up above the fold
- Adding more content on the products page - it's very light on
- Highlight the addition of their new online store more - ie have a link in the header in the empty black space that links directly to their store. Also highlight it in the text below the main banners
- Change colour of add to cart button on individual product pages
- Add trust/security logos to products/cart
- Expand on FAQs and About Us pages - also include pages for shipping/returns
- They have social media accounts - link to them in the header
- Increase number of inbound links - any ideas on this?
Thanks

The white text on the page is pretty hard to read. If you definitely want to keep the white on black look, I would try to space out that content a bit more and use a larger font size.

Hi Folks, Need guidance about using PWA on desktop site. As I know PWA is basically used for mobile site to engage visitor more and let them surf your site like an app. Would it be good SEO practice to use PWA on desktop site(E-commerce site) by calling everything through Javascript and let google Crawler cache only site logo and Hide everything else?

Moving site from html to Wordpress site: Should I port all old pages and redirect?
Any help would be appreciated. I am porting an old legacy .html site, which has about 500,000 visitors/month and over 10,000 pages to a new custom Wordpress site with a responsive design (long overdue, of course) that has been written and only needs a few finishing touches, and which includes many database features to generate new pages that did not previously exist. My questions are: Should I bother to port over older pages that are "thin" and have no incoming links, such that reworking them would take time away from the need to port quickly? I will be restructuring the legacy URLs to be lean and clean, so 301 redirects will be necessary. I know that there will be link juice loss, but how long does it usually take for the redirects to "take hold?" I will be moving to https at the same time to avoid yet another porting issue. Many thanks for any advice and opinions as I embark on this massive data entry project.

Brand New Site Penalized?
I recently launched 2 completely separate and unrelated websites at the same time. Both are new domains and hosting accounts. neither have any links. One is ranking for a branded search and the other is not. The interesting thing is that I tested both sites on the back end of my server before launch. The site that is not ranking for branded search IS ranking still on the back end of my site for the branded search. I have removed all content and 301 redirected the testing urls back to my portfolio page. Could this be do to Google indexing one but not the other. Does it have anything to do with testing on my server first and my DA being higher than current new sites? Or is it something completely different I'm missing completely. Is this a Penalty?
