Hi,

loved ur site quite alot. I'm new to this website development thing but i'll say the only thing that i found interesting at first then later on boring was hoe every menu page sprung up from beneath.It was refreshing to click on the contact us page and had stuff come off a li'l differently.

Apart from that its a great website and the springing effect is really nice, just that after a while i think it gets tiring (although it depends too on hwat the site was designed to do or market, and the intended audience).

Thanks again for everyone's input and constructive criticism. donnisikak, you might want to check your security set-up in IE7. Has anyone else found the projectestimate link to be inactive? It works fine for me and I've received requests for estimates from eTailers who are interested, so it seems to be working for others.

The conference was a great way to network and make connections. I have two companies interested in my services and a major wholesaler in the far east who has asked me to assist in a trial on the effectiveness of my product displays. Exciting stuff!

Once again, thank you all.

Hi,
I am reviewing this site based on my ecommerce knowlege and as an internet application programming student.
kindly take note of the following:
1.opening a new window for a link isn't a good way of building an effective website.
2.The displayed text is not readable considering your background color(grey). I feel you can bold it or you may choose to change the font face.
3.Your projectestimate link is a dead link.Not displayed in my browser(IE7).
It however opens in Firefox
4.Inability to use my browsers' back button in both Firefox and IE7.
Anyways,your site is ok.

Hey, congrats on the invite to the conference in NYC! Glad my advice helped.

Good Luck! Tell us how it goes!

Thanks for the advice from all of you. I've been incorporating your valuable suggestions into the website little by little. I know that one person mentioned his concerns for SEO and, rightfully so, especially with Flash-based sites. One thing I read on Timjpriebe's website is the importance of looking at all aspects of SEO, one of them being the issuance of press releases. I issued a press release announcing my new customized product display windows on Jan 30. The very next day I was contacted by a conference organizer in New York City who invited me as a guest to attend a major retailer/technology conference so that I would have the opportunity to demonstrate my prduct displays in person to some of the top retailers and web designers in the country. The conference is this week and I'll be there for sure, fully prepared with brochures and demos. Wish me luck! And, once again, thank you all for the great input and sound advice.

Wow that product rotate thing is good, but why not make it more apparant that this is what you do. To much text, make it more to the point on the first page to make me read more. I dont want to read loads of text to find out what its about and what things do. Bring my attention to that zoom rotate slider a bit more and that should do the trick.

I really have nothing negative to say about this site. The colors are good, the design is good, and I love the simplicity of it.

LenBradshaw — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 02:22:32 +0000

Thanks for picking up that different color behind the "t". I hadn't noticed it before because it's so faint, but I think I fixed it now. Actually, the name of the business is ZOOM360.net, which is the same as the domain name. I agree that the SEO needs some work. SEO is getting tougher and tougher these days. Flash sites have always been pretty much impossible for crawling, although I heard one of them is now beginning to crawl Flash files (I forget if it's Google or who.) A static site will be coming before long; in the mean time a press release has been issued just this week and more of them will come. The press release issued this week has been picked up by several online mags but I suspect that it will take awhile for the wording to be crawled.

Once again,

Thanks.
