Hi Frankjone
Some of your links are not working. One at the far left, and all at the bottom of the page.
Personally I think that your choice in colors does not help your customers to have a nice view of your product, black is a very difficult color to work with, and the pictures are not very clear.
Ciao

Not thought out good. The site is on the web the pages that are working on you got the contruction image on the bottom ie shipping people look at this an nothing about shipping is on the page untill they scroll down and then see contruction image.The black background throws off the image.Like I said realy not thought out for a preview at this time. I am sure it will be a nice site when its done but at this stage its to early to tell.

Hi,

Your choice of menu style is too long. Pick another one.

Business product pages does not look good with black ground background
white or very light colors are preferable.

The borders of your product images should not be noticable so the product will stand out.

Use light pastel colors not primary colors.

Change the shape background from gradient to texture and select a very light color.

Hi there you have had some good feed back already. My observation is your home page doesn't in an instance tell me what the purpose of the website is. All I see is a collection of cleaning products but it doesn't tell me/ or is obvious what to do. It doesn't say 'Welcome to my Shop where you can buy.... etc. Your additional pages are more obvious and look better but i would probably have the buy now buttons next to each product instead of a drop down menu further down the page.

Kind regards

Darren

Over all, you may need to pick 5 colors and then just stick to them, and try not to choose neon bright colors, they kind of move people away from your site.

Frank...

They are correct.. the site is TOOO narrow and theres no cohesiveness and too many changes and colors. I understand you are going for something original and thats all good.. but it still needs to look polished and professional.. well laid out, thought out and presented in a manner that makes one want to look further.

Forget the flashy myspace type crowd.. stick with a color theme.. blues ..complimentary in various shades and dark greys for example ..rather than neons.. or do a contrast of say a black n white.. whatever will make the products stand out more.

Karen

You have a blank menu button on the home page.. and no menu buttons on the product pages. Oh.. and that paypal verified logo takes you to login at paypal.. you need to edit out the <a href part of it.

Well the site looks alot better you still have work to get one. You have a menu bar on the home page which is blank goes to page not found your pages have no menu bars unless you scroll down to the bottom where you have shipping, policy, contact an home keep in mind the less clicks a customer clicks the longer they stay if they have to keep hitting the back or home buttons they will be gone and there goes a potential customer my avise to you keep it uniforme on every page with a menu link. also the black backgroun on the products got to go thats up to you your sie is getting better but still needs work best of luck.
