Small computer shop web-site

[tiffin_tom]

I just finished a re-design of our shop's website. Any comments, suggestions, etc. are appreciated.

I setup the Links page so that we can make it the default start page on new systems' browsers that we sell, so that we can advertise sales. Let me know what you guys think of this idea.

Thanks. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Very nice. I like the overall look of the site. Very easy to browse around in too. And it loaded very quickly.

The only thing I noticed was that on the New Systems Quotes page, where you pick the system type (AMD or Intel) I could click the Intel graphic to proceed, but not the AMD one (both text links under the graphics work though). Don't know if this was intentional or not, but its the only thing that didn't seem to work for me.

Anyway, it looks great! I like the title banner especially well. Nicely done. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

oops... forgot to tell you, I was viewing it in Netscape, and I didn't check it in IE, so I don't know if the non-clickable graphic thing is a Netscape or what.

This is a very cool site! I like the layout, and the use of frames on it. I like the graphics on it and the way you got it layed out to sorta hide the frame usage. It all blends together very nicely. And it's very easy to use (which I think is cool because I'm lazy).

Cool site ... loads fast and self explanatory.

Another nice site. I double checked your prices because online pricing is often weeks behind store prices, but they looked competitive to me, which was a point in your favour.

Constructive criticism: I might choose fonts on the opening page that were slightly larger and maybe slightly more interesting. I know this page isn't about flashiness, it's about computer sales, but still, it would give you a distinctive look--does your company have a another font other than its storefront sign you could use? Likewise, I would choose a background with a very faint texture, like papyrus or something, as opposed to the plain white.

May just be my opinion.

I also liked the little staff bio pages.

All in all a cool site.

P.S. Who's Teresa?

I've always been a fan of using frames to encompass a site's contents. Really nice!

Thanks all that replied. Sadly enough, I just found out that the owners of the shop are going to sell it and if they cannot sell it, the business will be shutdown <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

(see post in "I need a job" forum if anyone is interested in buying the place)
