Hi Dave,

It's good that you put an HTML text link to skip
the Swsih movie.

I suggest changing the go shopping link in the movie
from the "click here to go chopping" to the whole
movie as the link. This way all the viewer has to
do is just click anywhere.

I would also change the text in the movie... to more
consistant fonts and sizes. The text (like Hot New Fashions
or Bottle cap belts) is "disconected" with the picture,
that is is is obviously added text. The font size
for Hot New Fashions and Earth Friendly.. are different.
I don't have a great suggestion as far as what/how
to change it. A different font (not Ariel) would be good.

Also the two "quotes" should be bigger.

Now on the the "selling" site. The drop down menu,
while space saving... is not user friendly. As a viewer
I must click on each of the four choices to see what
is in each drop down menu. Far better (IMHO) would be
a menu showing all the menu items. Actually you only need
5 or 6 menu items. "Purses" and "Belts" being
two of them. I'd would have one page of all the purses
and one with all the belts... and eliminate the large
picture ... the file size is a problem... and you're
not selling the big pic.. your selling the little ones :)

I viewed the site on a high speed cable connection,
so I couldn't tell the load time for dial-up. However,
most of the photos on the site are 40K + which must
be a burden for dial-up viewers. I suggest, optimizing
all the photos... maybe even displaying a smaller
size photo for each item.

Lastly... what's up with the "favorite snacks"?
If it's not your site.. I'd open it in a new browser window.
