I would suggest making 2 versions of your home page, one for flash, and one non-flash.

For those users still on antiquated dial-up, like me, and there's a LOT of us, flash intros take a LONG time to load. Personally, whenever I visit a site that has flash, I can never be bothered waiting for it to load, no matter how cool your flash image may be, and the first thing I look for is the "Skip Intro" or "Click here for the non-flash version" link.

I would suggest adding such a link to your flash enhanced index page.

You could create an identical version of your main page (non-flash enhanced) and link to it from your flash enhanced page to be user friendly towards your dial-up visitors.

The 30pt. font on the product info pages is a bit much, don't you think?

 

The letters were almost half an inch tall on my 1280x1024 monitor, I would hate to see it on some grandma's 800x600 partial blindness settings.

 

Huge type = yelling = unprofessional image in almost every book. Reconcider your font size, and instead of blowing up the font to fill the product info page- add content. Go to the manufacturer website, copy their descriptions, add what the construction of the doll is made up of, etc.

My advice comes in two flavors- Pick the one that won't offend you.

This is good advice, which will also help you with SEO (Search Engine Optimisation).
