Change the link to your site, so it actually goes there. Read the sticky for this forum. Make sure to define width and height for your images so they don't shift your layout as they load.

I think you are talking about when the category pages load with all of the images on them....I do not have access right now to edit that page so I am not sure how to "define the width and height". but I will look into it.

Thank you for your time.

I think you should put a little time into your logo. Its the first thing I notice.
Its much too large and looks jagged.

I suggest redoing it and use more than just type. Think about what makes your wholesale business special and go from there.

Ok, I have actually wanted to get a better, more appealing logo. I am a novice at Fireworks.

What size do you think I should go with?

Thanks for the input.

[mtgentry]

Coming from a design background I would recommend having someone else doing it.
This will cost money, but having a professional looking e-commerce site is a huge part of getting new customers.

And avoid companies with names like "1800logo.com" or "logosforless.com"

But if you still want to do it yourself I would suggest trying 1/3 the size of what it is now. As far as software goes I find Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia Feehand are better for that sort of thing.

good luck, Mason

I have now changed my logo along with a couple of other things on the footer and header. Thanks for the suggestions. Any more information would be greatly appreciated.

Prices?
Items?
Buyers Club?

add some color to your header/logo bar. Something quite, maybe some light graphics, to seperate it from rest of page.

The colors for your logo are orange and brown. For the rest of your site, they are red and blue. I'll let you figure that one out. :)

In the top area you have something that says "Paid Advertisement" and that's it. Is there suppose to be a real advertisement there?

I'm not 100% set on your help thing being right in the middle on top. I think somewhere lower would work better.

Why do I get a 404 page when I click on the link where your logo is? And your 404 page looks pretty much exactly like all of your other pages which is kind of confusing.

I agree, the header section looks as if it belongs at the bottom of the page.
The logo looks better. Some suggestions for it:

- lose the "buy electronics" part. Its just not needed.
- try different fonts. "Futura" is a nice sans serif font.
- lighten the drop shadow by half

Just a quick question: what screen resolution did you design this for? I'm viewing it on a 1024 screen and it's scrolling off the right for me. :)

Take care,
Snitch.
