First - get rid of the music... there is nothing more irritating than having to listen to music while I am browsing a site... It's playing even now because I have the site minimized to be able to review it... and it's annoying!!!

2. you site is way too large to view without horizontal scrolling...in 800x600 resolution, about 1/2 of the page is not viewable and even in 1024x768, I am losing some of it... you absolutely need to create a site that everyone can see without horizontal scrolling... it is not very professional looking.

3. your logo should blend into the background or header of your site... having a graphic with a white background added to a colored background looks unprofessional.. a white background would be much better...

4. your text is entirely too large...you should be using a 10 point font throughout the site and perhaps make your emphasis text bold.... and those colors are not easily read against your background.

5. you have too much animation on the site... this is not meant to be a personal site, but a business one (I assume)... and you have created what appears to be an amateur personal type site...

6. your products should be on a different page... there is too much on your index page.... and the products also have a white background, that looks terrible against your purple background.

7. "email a friend" truly needs to go... if I saw something that I thought someeone else would like, I would email that page without any solicitation from you to do it... it too smacks of an amateur site...

8. you have no meta tags.....

I think you should take a look at this site yourself and see all the things I am talking about.... you really need to start from scratch and re-build this site completely to achieve a professional look.

And, I did not even go beyond your index page... but I am probably guessing that the other pages aren't much better than the home page.

I'm sorry to be negative, but this site needs a lot more work.....I, personally, would never shop at a site that looks like this... you have too much competition for your products and you need to have a site that is professional looking... look for competitor sites and get some ideas from them.

The site looks good to me. If the products with the background white become an issue to you, you could make the background surrounding the product sections of the pages have a white background.

I will look more at it later.
