    I should mention....there is a part of my site that is below the scroll out of view. It was done on purpose.

    Originally, the site was only what you see at the top of the page - that is our priority and how we sell our product. However, when I started to get feedback on the site it became obvious that my site had little to no content for the spiders. So we added the lower section purely for that reason. Personally I would rather the site exist without the bottom section entirely, but I'm leaving it there to see if it helps our rankings.

    Your site looks really smooth and professional as well as pretty straightforward to navigate and surf through. I don't really have anything to complain about except maybe, only maybe putting the "home" link somewhere where it can be more easily seen, although there is a link in the footer so.. maybe you should just leave it as it is..

    Yeah, you did a great job on it! Congratulations and good luck with your biz.

    Beautiful site!

    I like the cost calculator!!

    Just a few things I might change-
    (being picky)

    -You might want to consider maintaining multiple sets of images so you don't have to have the site resize them on the category pages. They're very nice pictures and the quality is lost when they're resized like that.

    -'Roll over for alternate views:' is on pages without alternate views available.

    -In the shopping cart I would make Continue Shopping & Check Out buttons.

    -Under Shipping Details, 'Contact No' should be 'Phone Number'

    -"A custom approach with unique results" is kind of hard to read.

    Like others have said nice site. I love the logo. What I find distracting is the heavy looking menu. Logo small and light, right side, small and light. I would try a lighter shade of gray or a gray gradient. Might shrink width of the menu area. I never know if I would like something until I try. I sat on one of my webs for 6 months before I hit on something I liked.

    I hear what you are saying about indexing but bottom makes page look spammy. In fact I looked for hidden text. Usually when page is long and has blank space there is hidden text.

    All said I really like the site.

    Not bad at all, just a few things to think about. Your fonts on your image type links are not very crisp. I would fix them. Smyrl was saying something about the menu I will have to agree with him. I would lighten the dark brown and add some white spacing to tie into your main image spacing. The scroll thing really need to be fixed. It's not bad at 1280 and higher but anything lower is a pain. The lower banner * Wedding Resource Image * is a lot better color than the darker brown, it would also blend in better with your main image backgrounds. You also have over 100 common errors that make the page look different in many browsers. The over all layout is nice, I like it but like I said, color matching and good coding also effect the complete design!

    Good looking site - highly functional, easy to navigate, nice use of colours.

    Don't forget the Alt tags on the images - will help with SEO and with DDA (UK Disability Discrimination Act)

    mailto on the contact page - come on, give them a form.
