Hi -

Product images are good. If they are all the same size, try adding a floating shadow to separate the image from the page using css.

Some interesting products.

Good luck, joe

thanks for the feed back folks. i will get on with the suggestions tommorrow.

the items that are on speacial is stock i am desperatly trying to get rid of and the images are the actual items, but i will rewrite this....

I've only been doing web building for 2 years now and the oscommerce 2.2 is a lot different to the 2.1 and i need to relearn a lot of it.

Roll over images at the top.....

I am trying to keep the sites loading time down and i have found java scripts doesn't help rankings.

I will look into changing things but i may be back for some help with php

I have another site that i found at the top of most of the UK search engines *****Jumps for joy***** might not seem much for some but it's an acheivement for me.

as for the spelling..... i will ask a friend to go through it for us as my spelling is awfull.

As mentioned the gradient is hard and the lists are bad.

For the top ones, how about setting them in a table (or div's) 3 or 4 wide, like so:
item01 item02 item03
item04 item05 item06
.... (this forum doesn't do spacing to well as text)

Your main text needs a fontfamily to match with the rest of the sites size and style.
I'm guessing your screen size is 1200 + as there is a horz scroll bar at 800x600

When I first look at your site I am drawn to the red arrows, then am lead to a confusing line of links, you need to draw focus into the areas. Your logo for example has no impact at all.

These ecommerce.org sites are very common, take a browse around the interweb for some layout/colur ideas

what does "sold as seen" mean?
Shame you have no real information about the products (ie dimensions, weight etc, all you have it height),

you also have a few typos, my spelling/grammer sucks so don't take my word for it, I did find "Speacials" under your information links.

The first thing is that it's very difficult to read the headings with that gradient. Try something a little more subtle.

Those red arrows. Drop 'em. Replace them with something smaller. Also, the list of stuff you sell at the bottom is just kind of confusing and needs better organization.

There is some good stuff about this site. I really like the graphics you have on the top right corner. If you added some rollovers, that would be awsome.

The photos are pretty good. Try adding a border.

Don't feel bad if I have more criticism than compliments. IMO, the critique area is were you go to get suggestions, some compliments, but mostly suggestions about how to improve.
