I like the layout - the order form and pricing link is not working and you may want to lift the images on the about us page. There is an element below the testimonial from Lori Ann that you may not want in.
Nice site - good job.

Hi, You off to a good start. Couple of things to look at!
Many of the sites images need to be reduced in kb’s as its slowing the pages down on 1st visit. Would also help when you resize to change them to .jpg as bmp is notorious for upping the kb’s.
Would be nice to have a common menu though out & to every page as I felt a bit lost when going to certain areas.

Good luck with the site.

First off to a good start the images on your feeders and bat nee to be cut down took a while to load. Color scheme is nice. you should put all menu links on all pages besides the homepage to they can decide to go to another page. Well done

For a first website as Chris says, you are off to a good start. You have a good eye for layout and design. I will just add to what others have said and that is to keep a defined links menu on each page. I quite like your menu bar links on your homepage, but maybe place them at the very top of the page and then keep them in that same exact place on every page. Good work though, await your finished product.

You might want to get some code for a 'real' calender. And also, your page logo looks great! Simple, yet elegant, you might want to keep the logo in the same place though throughout your pages. Good job over all!
