    So, my wife was looking for something to do from home and we came up with this online maternity consignment store. Tell me what you think. I'd definitely be interested in any critiques (good or bad), plus any SEO tips or traffic building tips. Thanks!:D

    Site looks really well designed. Couple of things I would say:

    The text at the top ( Welcome to MaternAgain! * My Account etc) is a little hard to read. Maybe it should be put in it's own 'box' up there with a white background?

    Secondly, the text in the logo (especially the tagline) is quite hard to read. As it's a thin font, where it's so small, you have to concentrate to read it. Consider making it bigger or using a different font.

    Lastly, there's a lot of white space under the text at the bottom of the page, any way you can get rid of that? It's causing an unneccessary longer scroll.

    Other than those minor things, it's a good idea and looking great!

    Nice looking. A couple of ideas:

    -links at top right of page, either put in white box or make the text white
    -make italic sub-header (of company logo) a little clearer
    -popular tags (smallest size) needs to be increased by 1 or 2 px
    -put an 'about us' link along the top banner

    Just one final thing. I would change the ad banner (wanna make money?) to 'Want to earn some money from your clothes?'. I thought at first it was a link to another site because the quality didn't match the quality of the site.

    Overall, well done and good use of joomla
