Hi

First and most notably loose the no right click script. They are a complete waste of time and only server to annoy your visitors. If someone really wants to steal your images / content there's not a great deal you can do about it.

Second you mentionned a few coding errors, have you tried validating your page. You have 51 errors on your homepage, according to

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...tnplace.net%2F

Also you should consider using css for your page / font styling. Looking through the page source there are a huge amount of font tags, this will make the site a nightmare to maintain

Hope this is sof some help

Hi,

There are some problems beyond the basic design. The store sells some items via Amazon and others via PayPal. Also, some items say "More Info & Buy," without a link.

The privacy policy is amateurish and not compliant with published standards. It probably should be merged with the much-better disclaimer.

Finally, the site makes the common mistake of posting a contact email address instead of relying on forms that guard against viruses. Ditto for the newsletter subscription process.

Your header and logo are boring.

There is a lot of white space at the bottom of the page.

I would remove the today is from the top of the page.

You have 3 seconds to get mt attention and telling me todays date want do it. (-;

You can buy cookbooks, knives, cutlery sets, grills, cutting boards, thermometers, software and more quality items

If your making your money selling items then let me know this as soon as I get to your site.

Add some pictures of your products in your header and put at the top of the page that your selling something that can help me.

Your code needs some serious clean up and I'd recommend starting with your font styles. Here's an example of some very unnecessary code:

[b]
 *

The result is: *

All that make a page break and a bold asterisk.

As for the site itself, it lacks in graphical interest and overwhelms at first visit. Try adding color to the background of your columns and create an enticing header. The red text on the grey "blob" is very hard to read and it actually vibrates (not in a good way).

Thank you all very much for your great and informative imput, whether I have the ability to implement them all is another story :-)

Good luck with the site, I look at the front page and got confused on what to click and the main thing i noticed was a free ebook about lossing weight

Was that what you wish to archive?

You should also you a slight background color on both the left and right columns, or at least divide the sidebar area from the center content. As the main page sits right now, there is no division of the information, making it look like there is just one big glob of information.

Possibly use different colors. The bright blue and red automatically broadcast that this is an amateur operation.
