Default Looking for feedback

My wife and I have teamed up to get her candle business up and running. She makes all the products as her hobby and I do all the web design as mine. Anyway, I've been working on the site for months tweaking OsCommerce to get everything just right. I'd appreciate any feedback.

I'm fairly confident in the functionality so I'm mostly looking for input about the overall look and feel. Please remember this is a live shop before you create an account or submit an order.

Thanks in advance.

Not an improvement one could be made in design! Excellent website! Your hard work has paid of beautifully.

However- to be truely successfull you need to make your page titles add to good SEO. And that includes your descriptions. You are passing a golden opportunity here by being too brief and not utilizing relavancy to the content of the page. I suggest that you utilize Beths great SEO book and put some of her suggestions into practice. She worked with me and with in 3 months- I was top website in google for 5 of 6 of the top keyword searches. (this out of 2 million plus entries under my category)
You will find her book here: http://www.moxie-enter-prises.com/SEO-The-Basics.html

I will be comming back for birthday and christmas gifts for certain!

Cheers-
Andy

Thanks Andy. The SEO stuff is on my to do list. Since it doesn't impact the way the page displays I've avoided diving too deeply into it. I think I'm finally happy with the layout and content to the point where I can start to make it more appealing to the search engines.

Yep.. Spot on! Very nicely done. As Andy said, work on the page titles etc and you've got yourself one hell of a site.

Hi Mattski, Your site looks great, as does your wife's candles and B&B! The only suggestion I can think of is adding info about who and where Mountain Lights is.

Best of luck to you!

Mattski,
Great job! I can't find anything I don't like or that is less than a very professional presentation.
We are in a very similar business and if you would like to e-mail me we could discuss linking or helping each other in various ways? Email off our site.
Good luck!

Thanks all! I'm glad to see that there are no major changes that need to be made, just some minor tweaking.
