    Hello everyone, it has taken me a year to plan this business out and pursue it. This is my second try at a successful business but my first venture into eCommerce and I'm very excited about it. The site is about 90% done and I should be open for business by the end of the month, I'm hoping a couple of years from now I can leave my full time job and pursue this, here is my site and ALL criticism and suggestions are welcome.. I truly appreciate it.

    nice site, but have taken control of its resolution???
    it is too big for 800x600 and small for 1024x768
    so what is the real size of it???

    Colors are nice but the blue for text I feel is too light, make it a bit darker

    also make the top menu's BG images, that appear onmouseover, to load while the site is loading

    all other is OK

    I really appreciate all of the feedback and I'm addressing the issues you guys have posted here. Still trying to find a font that flows and still easily visible.

    I think your overall design is clean and simple which is good because you can highlight the product that you are presenting:)

    I liked the site I only would not use incomplete border around the item block. I think you may try to use very light gray instead, or light blue. I think you should have a different icon for “Not Available”. “View Product Details” is also extra, I think you may try to show item names underlined.

    The site looks great!

    However, if you ever plan to obtain organic rankings your going to need some SEO work done. Good place to start is to create unique title and descriptions (keyword rich) for each page. Also looks like Google has only indexed your home page. I would recommend doing a Google sitemap to increase your chances of getting indexed quicker. And don't forget the real secret to SEO is relevant inbound links!

    Cheers!

    Very informative and thank you! I actually started listing on all the relevant directories I can find including alive and aviva. I'm not actually doing to web development so I will let my developer know about SEO work needed and a sitemap.

    Lookin at it from 1280x1024 there is lots of background and it trips me out a bit and hurts my eyes. Other than that looks nice :)
