I like it very nice and clean which is how I prefer things. However it seems like the upper left is missing something?

Love it!
One question: are the pictures on the different product categories (the pic on top) enlarged on purpose? I like it but visitors may think they were stretchted inadvetantly

You mean like a nice animated gif or maybe a marquee?
O god no, don't make me include these. Its just to painful.
I had put a nice graphic in the top left but it took away from the simplicity of the site so I removed it.

The images where resized to look slightly stretched. It was that or a slight blur effect and it didn't look as nice with the blur effect.
Although the image is there and its large, I don't want to take away from the images of the products which are all in focus and the right size. Strange I know :)

Funnily enough, the reason I might like it is a site I'm working on right now. (still waiting for content so don't expect too much.
Nice site but where's the animated GIF or Marquee!

Actually, when I look at the picture, I like the concept. Very nice site. Minimalist. I like that
jaybee
your cycling site is really nice. One question. Being the fact that English is my fourth language (not even my second) I am surprised at the spelling of the word 'Tecnology'. I know in the US they tend to ad 'z' everywhere like in specialize, yet I'd never seen 'tecnology'. Is it acceptable in UK?

my dear jaybee
EW is proving to be destructive to me! I downloaded and installed it last night. My! When I performed the step where they ask you to associate all Office my PC went crazy. I spent the next three hours removing, reinstalling, calling MS,etc
I am finally back to normal. I do not understand it. Did you download the trial version from MS or are you using the Beta? And, if you downloaded the MS version how did you bypass the Office deal? I tell you, it's driving me nuts

Just something can't put my finger on it. Maybe I've been listening to clients too much. LOL
God knows they have no idea what they want.

Alan,
Nobody seems to have asked so far, why do the individual product details open in a new browser window that you've tried to limit the user from resizing that window?
They all see to fit within that window, and seem to work at 800x600, but I just wondered why it's necessary? It seems to me to be a bit unnecessary and probably an accessibility issue that could easily be avoided.
Nice clean looking site apart from that though, the "stretched" images didn't bother me until I saw the one for "beds". She looks a bit "google earthed" though don't you think?

It's a very nice design and a very refined look but why do you use Arial in your text graphics? Are you running on such a low budget that the only fonts at your disposal are the Windows defaults?
The company has a very nice and unique identity. Use typography to support it, not to take away from it. They are a design company and possibly very demanding.

Only I include all the browsers:
Best viewed with "IE, FireFox, Mozilla, Opera, Netscape"
what about the mac and linux ones like safari, konqueror, etc? ;)

The more you stray from the norm, the more visitors you lock out from your site.
No, I meant the graphics. Take a look at Mint for an example.

Some good points their. Looking at that it might be worth taking a second look at the thoughts behind my ideas !!

No it's a spelling mistake, that's what you get for copying without spell checking it first.
