I have made so many changes and added so many secondary pages that I would like some folks to give me feedback (and check my work.

I am aware of the loading time on the first page but I have been lean with graphics. The Amazon and other links is the culprit since I do shrink my graphic file sizes. However, I do need to have graphics by default for the gist of the site.

I am pretty optimized for search engines for my niche but added secondary pages for more exposure (went from 5 pages to 44 pages plus the catalogs).

The logo is very pixelated. It could be larger and it certainly needs to be cleaner.

Hi there,

Looks like some work is still needed.

For starters, as it has been mentioned the logo is a bit pixelated, especially the font. I don't know what program you are using for that but if you let us know we can help more.

Also, the left menu is too squished. I'd recommend making the padding a larger value and perhaps having some kind of divider between each menu item.

Another issue I have is with the <br>'s or whatever they are in the main content. They have different widths and heights. It is important to remember having consistency is important. Try and make them the same.

Lastly you might consider having the top banner extended to the size of the viewers screen as it looks like it is just cut off, not to mention the main content extends beyond the end of the top banner.

i find your site to be quite busy. when first looking at your site, i am not sure where to focus my attention. the navigation should perhaps be larger.

Functionality - links seems to function, navigation is appropriate
Informational - lots of info, maybe too much...less is more?
Ease of use - can be difficult at times to navigate...i got lost a few times
Simple graphics - lots of images
Legible text - good contrast, maybe increase font size

your site offers lots of information. lots of images and examples of products. i imagine that this would be hard to manage.

good work

g
