Could someone tell me if my site needs a face lift and what would you change and to what.

Default review

I would definetly move some of your graphics up on the page. When the page loads, the first impression a viewer gets is a huge block of text, what reason do they have to read it?

Default Your site

I think your site looks great - the colors, the fonts. However, there are a few things you may want to think about modifying.

1. The background in the middle makes reading the text somewhat frustrating. Not alot, but frustrating nonetheless. Maybe all silver or all gray.

2. The main flaw I see is the lack of a title at the top of the page. You get to the page, and are immediately wondering what it is.

3. You may want to reread the text. Some of it is grammatically incorrect. One example is in the last paragraph before you get to the pictures. 'Below are just some of our products' should end with a period, and then start off a new sentence with 'If you don't see something...'

4. Moving the menu/navigation bar/links up almost to the top and moving the two dropdown menus over to the right may make it look more natural. I know you need to please the search engines (what a pain in the butt, huh?), but it's pretty confusing when you first get to the site.

5. In your menu bar, I wonder if you might have good luck with splitting up the 'Products' link. What I mean is this, you seem to have a lot of neat items to sell, but the menu bar doesn't tell you that at all. Remember, a lot of people won't be reading your text, they'll be scanning your menu bar and whatever else sticks out.

All in all, I thought the site was very cool, and generally well thought out, so please don't take any of my suggestions personally. It seems to me the changes I brought up are very minor.

Good luck!
