Very nice clean appearance.

A couple of details could be improved though. Titles for most pages (other than "Welcome" on home page) are very ragged and need anti-aliasing. Similar problem with the price graphics on the Products page, and the "View Cart" button.

Thank you. Yes, I'm aware of some of the images and the headlines in the pages. I was more concerned about the general professionalism through the site.

Of course I will fix all the issues.

Thanks again.

Front page was a little jerky on the download and I'm on a 750 connection.

My only other concern was that when you click on the coffee images on the right there's no Back facility.

Otherwise nice!

jaybee,

Point taken. You're correct, it would be nice to have a "full circle" for browsers so they can go back and move to other pages. I will add that to the list of fixes.

Regarding the speed, well, I really cannot control that - as you know - and pulling the page with its images is a total of about 55KB. I'm using a fiber cable connection at 1.8MB per second and it also "builds" itself as it comes up. I don't know why.

Thanks again.

Jerky load probably down to the fact you're using tables. The browser has to build them.

You also have no doctype and a number of HTML errors.
