Ok, I am launching this site monday after I tweak everything tomorrow and Monday during the day.
I have been working really hard on this site for a little bit and it is replacing a similar site I have however this one is in the ,net framework and ties to my POS software.

I guess let me know if it is easy to navigate and layed out well as I am completely unobjective!

Thanks in advance!

i think its a nice layout, and very easy to navigate, but your links at the top and on the side dont need to be images, because they are just text on one background, and the exact same effect can be created using tables, and it will load in a matter of seconds too... and about those squares that light up... on the left... when you mouse over, you can make it to when you mouse over the text, the square changes colors... the whole thing does NOT need top be a image

Looks real nice.

It scrolls to the right on my 17" monitor.

Could use CSS in a few places instead of images.

A couple blank spaces that would be ecellent for product teasers or slogans.

Other than this, a great job!

Thanks everyone very good insight!
I am going to redo some stuff tomorrow and probably change some of the images to tables as suggested.

I still have some work left and am pretty confident I can launch on Monday. Original launch date was Feb. 13th but everytime I think I am ready I find something major to change!

So thanks again for the comments and excellent tips!

maybe put the little hand icon when you mouse of the top buttons, at first i didnt realise they where links

Very nice - good design, simple to navigate AND it liked my 56k modem!

Well done

Great use of color and some white space. I like that you used gray text in your colored areas and I think that you should consider going with a lighter colored font on your white areas, too.

I am a huge CSS fan but I think the use of images for rollovers is fine.

Great Logo.

Awesome cropping around all the pictures to get the white background. How did you do that so cleanly?

Zero-Life · 03-07-2004, 01:05 PM

i really like that, but one image change. for the shopping cart, make the background transparent instead of white.

Anthony · 03-07-2004, 11:44 PM

Nice job! I like the logo and the overall look and functionality! You might want to switch some things over to CSS, though.

Namedelivery.com · 03-08-2004, 04:02 PM

Well, didnt launch today but.....Tomorrow??? I hope!

Thanks Adam. I didnt realize that the hand didn't come up over "home" and it has been fixed (I think)!

Thanks bensontwenty we're trying to make it even faster right now!

Zero-Life - Excellent idea and that will be changed.

Cory - Thanks for the comments! The photoshopping was done by one of our graphic artists who is really good. Trying to use CSS as much as possible.

idevisedesign - The images are really small right now but like the idea of making the squares light up without having the images. Thanks for the tip! Anything to make the site even faster is a good idea!

painperdu - Thanks and I think I have fixed the scrolling problem!

Coastalguy - Thanks for the comments!

Wonderful site. I like the clean layout and i like the colors. your use of back end scripting is very nice as well as it seems integrated well with the whole layout. Overall, very impressive.

identity_00 · 03-09-2004, 10:50 PM

I think everything looks great just the width scrolling is annoying.
Wish I had the script actually.

Looks great
