    It's not the most professional looking site, but I don't have any questions about it's credibility. Prices are good, too.

    Is this an Amazon affiliate site, or what?

    i liked the overall design but the font is too small to be clearly read( personal opinion) Rest seems to be fine!

    Overall I'm not a huge fan of the design, but as an e-commerce/affiliate website it works perfectly fine. If you got a redesign on the header and made it look really professional I think it would increase the overall quality of the website.

    Yes, of course it's an Amazon Store.....In what way is it not professional?

    Could you be a little more helpful with your critiques. and elaborate a little so that I can make it better?

    Yes, of course I can be more helpful...

    Your header looks like it was designed for an anime fan site.

    You need a professional-looking logo to bring your site together. I think this is the only thing you really need to tie everything together.

    Just my two cents.

    I kinda agree with you. My downfall is the lack of design skills. The Header is what I was worried about the most:(

    I did change it a little, maybe I will have someone professionally design it before the week end is over.

    Thanks for your opinions

    I like the illustrated style of the header. Graphic design wise it needs some work. That is a great idea for a store by the way.

    First thing I notice is the logo - it does not blend seemlessly with your background. It might on your monitor, but I use a 24 inch widescreen display, so I probably see a whole lot more whitespace than you.

    Second thing, work on the white space below the CD covers.

    That space could be utilized better.

    Not my kinda music, but as far as the design goes, not too bad.

    The white space below the CD covers is something that I cannot change, but the header is a work in progress and I can definitely do something about that, thanks for bring that to my attention.

    Also, you may consider doing 25 cds per page rather than 10. You have 209 pages to sift through of 10 per page. Up that to 25, and people will be more likely to flip through the pages.

    Also, put new releases above "DJs and Artists" - new stuff should be first.

    Well the hope is that people will just go to the artist link and shop the complete discography of their favorites, or use the search. At least that is the way I plan on promoting it.
    I tried to have 3 columns on each page, but it was way too much, and too wide.
    I may find a few customizations over the next few days, as I play with it and will be able to make some of those changes.
    I still have a lot to learn.

    That is why it caught my eye! That illustration cost me 50 bones, so I'm gonna use it until I make $50 on the site:)
