    Our website www.cosmeticsfairy.co.uk has been up and running since Jan 06, it has been growing every month in both sales and hits. I would appreciate any comments you may have about the site that will enable me to improve its appearance, ease of use, and SEO`s.

    Many Thanks for your time and input.

    The site looks good, here are a few tips:

    1) I would get rid of the blank white space at the top, its not necessary

    2) the headings you have are a bit hard to read. Perhaps make sure you optimized the text in photshop using sharp or crisp antialiasing

    3) I think you have too many words in your title tag

    4) Sometimes to improve load times you can break your header into 2 or 3 images. This can often help to load the site faster.

    Cheers

    John

    Nice site.

    As already mentioned - the white space at the top, and the blurred image/text links around the fairy.

    Other than that - more creativity in your short product blurbs would do well.

    the two things that first popped into my head were about the white space on top and the quality of the images, but those have already been mentioned.

    so next, i think that the shadow on the products is nice but that background should be pink like the body, not white, it just doesnt fit that way for me.

    i like how the ads are at the bottom and not distracting from the rest of the site.

    i personally do not like spliced images for navigation because the same effect can easily be achieved through css making it more accessible. and i think that you could work on a rollover effect for the links. and about the hover style you do have for the text links, i think i would make it go pink? hovering over a link should make it stand out, not fad into the background.

    the information heirarchy is good though, easy to navigate through and you know what page you're on and in what section.

    good luck!
