No, problem, mate. You have a really good site and we're happy to review it for ya

First I want to thank everyone for the great info and accolades ...

I like the idea of resizing the full size shots to help the thumbnails I think a simple resizing of the white background matting may help to fix that. And the point about the text coloring is a good one ... I will see what I can do to make it more clear ... more products should be showing soon ...

as to the about page I am not sure if the client is donating to the Police and Fire charities but it is a good point ot find out to include ... I do know they are a commercial company for profit though ... I think they have donated in the past but I do not know about the current procedures ...

As to advertising/promoting I have been talking to them about getting some overture going as well as their efforts with selling on ebay auctions some of the products they have ...

Please do keep the suggestions coming as the site will be fully live very soon ... Thanks again to all for your words

How are you promoting it?

First I gotta say.... LOVE those puppets! Sorry, but I HAD to say that.

I think you've done a good job seperating your navigation from the content. I will say that the white text on the light colored background that you're using is a bit hard for me to read.

One thing I might suggest (and this is simply a suggestion)...
Although I think your pictures showing your shops on the front page are nice, there isn't anything that tells me about who you are. Are these products made by Fire fighters, emergency teams and Police? Do the proceeds go to helping these people? Other than the fact that I think the puppets are cute, why should I buy any of these products? (If the profits go to help support the law enforcement and emergency crews, I might be more inclined to buy something)

As far as the thumbnails... I must agree that they don't seem to be looking right. It looks like you are simply showing the full sized image, but forcing it to be 88 pixels wide and 80 pixels tall. Your large images don't always fall into that size pattern and look wrong when reduced to that. Do you have any way to actually save the images as real thumbnails so those can be shown? If not you need to make sure your large images are resized so they will reduce down to 88 x 80.

Best of luck! Looks like you'll have a good store going here!

Nice site and good layout.. it gets right to the point.

I would suggest to reducing the header graphic and font size of your title in the body..

But a overall good site..

Good Luck.

I think this site could really take off, you know TM

Thank you ... I am hoping to get the rest of the product list soon so it can go fully live ... right now it is hiding on the server ... without the "/catalog" at the end of the string it would take you to the old version which is somewhat outdated when it comes to the product listing ...

Looks pretty good, I like the colors and the layout. I see no problems, besides you need more products. Good job
