Other than the "Custom Awards" section, which I'm still finishing, can I get some feedback on the rest of this site? I'd like feedback on the graphics, ease of use, design issues and anything that you think might be valuable to know. I'm looking for a critical eye and honest feedback. The site: http://www.awardsideas.com Also, if you wouldn't mind checking out our other sites, that'd be wonderful too. http://www.flexidisplay.com http://www.awarenessideas.com Any and all feedback is welcome! Thanks, Denis A. Baldwin Marketing Manager Flexi Display Marketing denis@flexidisplay.com

I only looked at the opening pages of the first 2 sites you posted. I realise with shopping cart type sites it can be a difficult task getting all the images to load quickly, you're obviously using broadband, the first site was "okay" but the second site took 4 minutes to load on my dial-up connection. You may have optimised the images as much as you could (have you?), but they aren't complex images and should've loaded a lot quicker than 4 minutes. I like the colour schemes you've used in both sites but you talk about making sites more SEO friendly, and quite frankly there's nothing more friendly than a CSS layout, and at the very least styling page elements with CSS to make your code a lot cleaner. You have many, many tables used for your layouts and besides that probably being one reason they took so long for me to load, they will be effecting your search ranking also. _____________________________ Nambucca Valley & Kempsey Web Design \| NixDesign Get Netscape Navigator 9 (in reply to denisbaldwin)

The cart software is the cart software. Having said that there are carts around with much better code. Denis my only immediate criticism is the second site which is a little too wide for the page and has a horizontal scroll bar. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.
