Tested in IE6 56k modem 800x600. Loads reasonably fast. The top menu deosn't sem to rollover like the rest. Slightly oo wide for 800x600. Otherwise, a very nice design. Good luck with it.

It's fabulous. An absolute delight. I'll be happy to go over it with a fine toothed comb when it finished. For the time being WOW !

BTW, who did your brilliant graphics ?

(Incidentally I also speak as an area manager for Interbrew UK.)

This was brilliant!! I really liked your menus and graphics, the site loaded very quickly (on a broadband connection though... 704..)
I even liked the business-idea and the way wour company's name was connected to the products
Well done!

Default Nicely done...

I am on a dialup (56K modem that connects at a whopping 24K) and it took a while for the main button icon rollovers to load (the penguin ones on the left side), but I'm in the 3% still suffering on land lines, so I imagine nobody else here had that problem. And it's not a problem that would ever negatively impact the site anyway.
Awesome layout and eye for design. I agree with everyone else on how good the graphics look.
It's refreshing to see that kind of a site, and by that I mean clean and to the point. You didn't compromise an appealing design to accomplish simlicity. I especially enjoy the subtle touch of the drop shadow under the product icons on the home page. It's another nice way that you set yourself apart from the rest.

Default Nice site

I really like the overall design of the site. The penguin graphics look great, and it shows good forthought to duplicate the buttons across the top of the page. The design is clean and concise, which shows off you products well.

Great site - Well done.

But I love your buttons.

Default Nice Look

Look of the site is great, everything flows smoothly. Load time was minimal (broadband) and can't wait for it to be completed. Overall great site though.

So do you really think that a bar owner looking for a good supplier for a bottle fridge is going to go elsewhere because this site uses tables.

Pull you head out of there.

The site is clean and functional and looks great. Is the shopping cart OSCommerce?

Default well I liked it

Clean, easy to follow, fast enough to load. I like it. If I could give a recommendation, I'd like to see an 'about us' or 'company history' page to say who you are etc. because that would add that personal touch; it's always nice to know who you are buying from.

Overall, I enjoyed my visit. Tables doesn't bother me in the slightest (and it is a good fix for using frontpage to be read by a Netscape audience); I use tables and no criticism from people who are still at school will deter me!
