You have done a really good job! I'm impressed.

There are only a few things I found you may want to take into consideration.

In the animated intro, the white Suzuki of Gastonia portion comes and goes so quickly, it is impossible to read. (I'm not a fan of those intros anyway, so I won't say much. Ask me if you are wondering why.)

Gastonia, what? I'm guessing North Carolina? Not only is it good to have the state listed, it would be good to have it written out in your meta tag keywords. (Finally found NC on the Store page. It would be good to have it on the home page, too.)

It would be good to have a row of textual navigation links across the bottom of each page so people wouldn't have to scroll to the top to move around your site.

Be aware that when people see an underlined word or phrase, they are going to try to click it as a link.

On the tire page, the $85 has slipped out of place (in NN anyway).

Your title tag should probably be the first thing under your <head> tag.

I think your site is well organized, the graphics are good, and you have given well presented information.

Congratulations and best of luck with it.

Oh yea why do you not like intro's? [This message has been edited by suzkaw (edited 02-21-2001).] (in reply to suzkaw)

I see you got your $85 fixed. Good job.

There are a few reasons I don't like intros. Personally, although I think some of them are very eye-catching, I get tired of waiting for them to download. Yours advertised something coming up...an intro used better than most. I would guess 90% or more I've seen are a waste of time. When I go to a site I want to see the company name so I know I'm in the right place, and I want it to be pleasing to the eye, but I don't need to see it dance across the screen and do gymnastics, especially if it's one of those looonnnngggg ones. Get my attention and give me what I'm here for. I've seen it said you've got 10 seconds to get a person into your site. If it takes longer than that, they will probably leave.

From a practical standpoint, search engines will be looking for text on the index page. With just a graphic there...out of luck. Also, if someone is surfing with graphics turned off, a sight-disabled person is having their browser "read" to them, or someone is behind a firewall, they will not have access to that page, and unless there is an alternate entrance link, they will not be able to get into the site.
