Hi there.

 

Your main page takes a little while to load, but then again, am on dialup.

 

Your main page is also a tad boring. Love the right side customes being shown. Also like the balloons as links.

 

Onto the cart -

No need for the visitor count at the bottom.....you're visitors dont' need to know such things.

 

Where's your ghosts and ghouls ???? Geesh! LOL

 

Not sure if I like the product listing pages ..... very plain.....takes awhile for a pic to show if I hold my cursor over a costume name.

 

I think you have a good start though!

Thanks for your reply, my client asked me to leave the visitor count at the bottom (i also dont like it on there).

 

what would you reccmomend adding to the main page so it isnt boring? i no it might look like theres tons of space if you are using high res but on 800 x 600 its totaly taken up.

 

My client is adding loads of products everyday i think the ghosts and ghouls should be on there soon lol

 

my client really loved the product listing page and want decent sized pics some are 350 in width so even tho it looks a little plain in high res again in 800 x 600 res the full page it taken up

 

but i will have a look into both pages to see if i can spark them up a little

 

Thankyou for your comments

I think maybe the blocks of text are the only boring part, they don't entice me to read them. Can you change the font, and perhaps get rid of a few paragraph returns, you can have more than one sentence in a paragraph. And... if you are in the UK perhaps spell "catalogue" correctly! :)

For being your first OSC website, I'd say you did a good job :thumbsup: Need much more practice to stay away from the stock look :D

Thanks, but what blocks of text do you mean? if you mean the product titles in the blocks in the middle of the page i cannot make them any longer due to the pic on the right that shows up when you mouseover

and although it looks like i have alot of space spare in high resolution this isnt the same in 800 x 600

 

yeah i will be changing things like catalogue and little things like that over the next few weeks my client just asked me to do a site needed a shopping cart and needed it to work with the new HSBC module and wanted it doing in 2 weeks so i never had time to look at things like that just wanted to get it working.

 

First time ive ever used a shopping cart so took me a while getting used to some of the code and were to change things, getting it setup with HSBC took the longest and wasted alot of my time :(

 

Thanks for the input tho i will keep them all wrote down and change it soon as i get a moment

 

Thankyou

Your site does not work on a 1400 X 1050 screen. On my computer your header is 100 % and the New Products for June as well as the other infoboxes are all way to the left leaving a huge blank space to the right. Your Returns Policy, Privacy Notice, Terms & Conditions, Contact Us links seem out of place. Also it seems that the background to your logo is slightly off color when compared to the background of the rest of the site. Other then that your buttons don't match the layout of your site.

Thanks the max i can test on my Pc is 1280 x 800 and it looks fine on there everything is in place,

yes there is alot of empty space over to the right but id rather have that then fill it up and on 800 x 600 it doesnt even fit on the screen and looks a total mess.

 

If i make the left side boxes strech further by % on a higher res then it would look even more stupid due to the writing, so if you have any ideas on how to fix those problems please could you let me no.

 

Making the the table a certain size like width="780" is not an option as my client wants it to strectch right across the page on the higher res

 

Thanks
