    Metallic Silver Color gives old age look..So experiment with some fresh color theme from OS.

    I don't know where you guys get that idea from. About 60% of all cars nowadays have this metallic look and they are all shit-hot technology bought by young professionals. I really don't see why it would not be working for this site.

    Looking good tops! Your health site seems to be extremely slow loading, so I quit checking out your offerings....

    Hmmm not sure why that could be. Maybe the server reserves bandwidth for UK requests, not sure.

    Thanks for checking though, appreciate it.

    About the metallic look, yes it works on cars + it works on certain cases, it is the wrong kind of silver - sounds pretentious, but it does look dated. You want some blue in there.

    The cars + pda + mobiles - they use a brushed steel effect.. its lighter (with a hint of blue) + more silver. Maybe just change the tint slightly

    ..should give you some ideas of different types of metal effect :)

    I like the blue metallic, we actually use it on the product listing pages a bit.

    Might use that for the next site :)

    What did you think of the homepage images and colouring of where the action happens?

    Orange box - Great (links could be a different colour if you like)

    Lightblubs - otherside of words (at start) - maybe make em yellow/orange or green
    Some coloured text in the content would be good (like 5% off)

    Collage - excellent, although I might put a cluse up of a nice watch in one of them.
    Light bordered box around the watch/ central product (maybe)

    Change oscommerce link to light /grey/ white - that link is not for visitors, only really for link pop - your visitors are not looking for oscommerce.

    Include london in your address, it gets more searches and is more recognizabe (if you can get away with it)

    "Within short time all major brands will be available on Watchen and Monitors:" - seperate this line and fix typo.

    Make polar s120 clickable (in content)

    Change the global shadow on the left boxes to be the other way round (or vice versa). Otherwise the site is 'viewed from the left'. with shadows outside (or inside) it will draw the eye even more to centre.

    Maybe a touch more colour in other places on the site (even use the polar logo above the fold - next to the watch on display), green might work well (could be overkill) or orange/reds. Needs a little near the right somewhere (maybe bottom right for balance)

    Favicon doesnt show up on my machine.

    Overall it looks really good and doesnt actually need much + these things are just extras.

    Thanks for the typo, will fix.

    Coulnd't work out a dynamic link for the special just yet, to do with the SEO urls contrib.

    Favicon is actually an empty box until we get round to designing a real one.

    Thanks for the other comments, will add them to the list to take into consideration at some point!
