It isn't completely done yet, still haven't added some written contact (i.e. about us + privacy page) but the products are all added and the layout/color scheme is 99%done unless you guys find some major errors with it.

So.. what do you guys think?

How is the ease of use of the site?

What about navigation wise?

Thanks in advance

Btw, please DO NOT make any TEST ORDERS unless you use the username TEST and password TEST otherwise I will treat them as real order (i.e. you get sent a bill lol)

Thank you

Chris

That's a bit out of the norm. I don't believe I've ever seen anyone create a web page as reliant on an image map as you have. Did you do that manually or did a proggy generate that?

I only looked at the index page. After viewing your source code and realizing your entire page is basically a graphic and image map, I became curious why you did it that way.

The first downside to doing it this way is the considerations for search engine placement. This method will make it much harder for you to get a good page rank on the search engines. You double that problem by not having any meta tags on the site to "help" the search engines along. In addition you have an ending HTML tag, but you don't have a beginning one and you also don't specify a document type.

Although I think your home page looks good, I think the above will cause you headaches down the road. Especially when you want to change something.

Yeah you might wanna change it into actual coding because right now its just a big map. There really isn't much wrong with it but its just odd...Other than that great site :D

wow, 177k for the jpg on your first page. yikes. you should be able to get this down to 40 or 50k for the HTML and all it's dependencies.

(:

actually, i've seen the single image/image map thing a lot lately. It's really not a good practice.
