What is the purpose of that? I couldn't find anywhere to click.

Both pages (giftbaskets & wholesale) are very image heavy. The front page of the first one is nearly 500 KB and the latter one around 850 KB. I can't say I'm too fond of the colors either. Try putting more featured baskets on the front page. The flash splash is nice but I don't really see a reason for it.

Flash intro: a waste of time and effort. With that as your homepage, you'll have nothing there for search engines to index.

Multiple tables layout: that's adding considerably to your file size and/or download time.

Too heavy on images: it took a while for the page to load for me, and I'm using a T1 line.

You've got good design concepts. You just need to research web usability and proper coding practices.

Thank you for your input. I'll consider the heaviness and the homepage. Multiple tables layout...that's the structure of the shopping cart from CRE Loaded. I don't want to edit that too much, but will look at it more indepth.

if you have to retain the tables structure, at least look into using CSS, instead of all those inline and HTML styles.
