    First impression is a nice looking site, although there is a couple of things that bothered me a bit.

    Firstly it's a very common practice to have the site ID (ie your logo) a link which takes you to the home/index page of your website.

    Secondly the navigation buttons acts a bit weird when I activate them(ie when I press them but do not release it), not really important though.

    Lastly and most importantly there is no indication on where I am on the site. It's a common practice to always indicate what page your are currently browsing in the navigation(for example modifying the link color on the download link if I'm currently browsing that page).

    hey David,
    Yer I noticed that when I went on the site earlier, I have bin meaning to change it since.

    I havent noticed that, will have a look and attempt to edit it.

    Again i didnt notice this but i will have a look into it and try and change it as it is quite important.

    Thanks for your comments, saw what i missed.

    For a hand coded site this is very nice, good work!

    You'll need to link the header image to your homepage. That's a quick, effective fix.

    The gray picture that is above the fold on each page may need to be changed to something more eye catching. The site is a little bland right now, and by simply putting a nicer, more colorful image there, your prospective buyers feel more compelled to stick around. Just a suggestion, though!

    Nice rates all in all. Maybe offer some promotional discounts to kick start things on your site.

    I'll have to agree with David on the changing up the way the different pages look. Each page, except for contact & faq looks the same on top of the fold.

    Change up the navigation so you have all of the links to your site on one page. You have to click on FAQ, Order, or Contact to get to other links to your site. Just make the entire site more accessible to the viewer.

    Hope I helped even a little bit!
