There have been some good suggestions (or is that sujjestions??) so far so take some of those comments on board. 1. The look and feel is very much late nineties - I really think you would benefit from more subtle colour variations and a less boxy look. 2. Those product graphics could do with some work (esp. the one on the right which is dingy). With the above in mind I'd try for more of a product montage worked into the background colours. 3. Now lets imagine I turn up without Flash.... I can't see the address or contact details and I can't navigate further into your site. This strikes me as a fundamentally bad idea it excludes a portion of the audience (esp, people using voice browsers for whatever reason) and will stop any robots indexing your site in their tracks. Considering the promotional nature of the site this has to be changed. 4. You'll also want metatags (keyword, description and abstract) for some search engines. 5. You'll need a DOCTYPE declaration at the top too. 6. You need to use CSS to get rid of a lot of that formatting - esp. the FONT tags. Things like this: [quote] <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"><b><i><font color="#FFFFFF"> ALL STAR PROMOTIONS</font></i></b><font color="#FFFFFF">ETC.</font></font> [/quote] 7. There is a lot of unnecessary code like: [quote] <div align="center"> <div align="left"> <div align="right"> <div align="left"> [/quote] 8. Don't use PRE tags in that way - use the HTML structural tags and CSS. 9. You need to have a copyright page linked in from every page. 10. Centre the table - things rarely look good attached to one side of a big screen. So overall it really needs a good rethink on the colours and design front but the main thing is that the Flash must go. It has its uses and works well in the right place and this is probably the worst way to use it. Create some graphics to replace it - possibly along those lines as they are OK and get the colours working together. As it is a promotional piece you need to keep an eye on search engine optimisation as well as making the vital details clear an accessible to everyone. Emps Loading...
