Im also a paintball player and I think the website is fine. You should try to get a sign up sheet on it for a tournament going. That way you can get some sponsors.

I think the overall look of this site is rather professional. Graphical but not overloading. Nice work.

I don't like the strikethrough on "RedCell" in the header. It makes it seem like "oh, we are no longer redcell!" I would remove the strikethrough definately. If you want it to stand out, try smallcaps or italics!

Why is their a Jesus logo at the bottom of the page? Kinda funny looking on a paintball site.

Also, you don't really have a footer. Footers give visitors closure. Otherwise the site just seems to run on into the BG.

PS: I want the A-5 M-16!!!! It looks so nice!

Corey,
Thanks for the feedback! I think we will change the logo and put a footer on the site, nice suggestions! About the Jesus fish, it it there because we feel it is important to let people know we are a Christian owned and run business. Thanks again for the feedback! Anyone else?

I would make it a hyperlink to a page that tells about you and your religion then. It doesn't tell me that right now!

Again, thanks for the suggestion. I think we will just stick with the fish for now, most people get the picture. However if you yourself have any specific questions then let me know I would be glad to discuss it with you in the "general" forum.

What about the flow of the site, how is the nav?
Does it look like a professional e-commerce site? If you were shopping for paintball stuff would you feel comfortable buying?
thanks

I am not a very distinguished critic but i will tell you what i think. Overall I like the layout of the site very professional. The only critisism that i have that when you click on a catagory the images that come up seem too small for the box they are in. Also it would be nice to see a larger image of the products themselves.

I think the site is nice looking, my res is 1024x768 and all the images look like they are a good size to me. The fish is not a distraction to me, and I think it is nicely placed for subtlety (sp?).

My opinion on the "strike through" in the header is that I think you were trying to make it look like a flying red paintball whipping across the logo as if it had just been shot. If that is the case, then I see where you were going with it, but I would add something else to it like some kind of motion blur and a distinguished "paintball" at the end of the line so that it looks more like a bullet with a motion trail behind it. I like the multiple photo blending in your header otherwise, it looks clean and "action" is captured!

Are you going to add rollover effects to the horizontal menu? I like rollovers! :lol:

Yes, if I were in the market (which unfortunately for you I'm not) I would feel comfortable buying from your site, it looks very professional.

Changed it up a little, check it out.
What do you guys think about making our images smaller, so we can put more products on the home page?
thanks!

Looks good. Clean and sophisticated feel to it. Not bad at all. It's got easy navigation and it's user friendly. Good job! :wink:

I have some sort of wierd mouseover underline thing going on when your site is viewed in Firefox 0.9.3.

I don't really know how to describe it, so here is a little video.
