Good impression on first sight. Nice choice of colour and images. Good-looking menu on top. Page collapses to accomodate low res. monitors. Page does load a bit slow on a dial-up connection. This problem could be solved if you were to add styles more optimally. Also the code is too bloated, reason being that the page was designed in FrontPage. Better code would get the pages to load faster. Also do add a doctype.

On the home page you could think about taking the text about your business up and above the images. Or at least break it up, with some text above, a few images of your designs next, and then the rest of the text.

Okay, first things first, when you do resize the window, the background does not stay consistent, and doesn't flow well.

Second, your menu links up top, the physical buttons are hard to read against the background. I'd think of adding a bit more contrast there.

Third, Sands mentioned moving the text up the page, and that is a must. Try running the text under your menu on the left, move your "special" to the right, as a second column, and then add the "photo" links to your categories down below the text.

Also, when I went to to a category page, this is an example of some layout issues.



Finally, the blue links, are not friendly to the rest of the design. I'd work on changing those over to a different color, you can do that through simple page properties worst case, or through CSS for your best results.

You have a beautiful product, it simply comes down to getting your site to match.

Oh, one final thing. Get rid of the Google Ads. They don't do your site any good. Same thing for the Google Search.

We did that and also implemented an H1 and H2 tag for the text at the top. We are also looking into the page load time aswell as other coding and formatting criteria.

We certainly appreciate both comments received thus far and would look for more.

Thanks for your comments. We are changing the active link color to purple which will change to blue on a hover.

Can you be more specific about the "resize" comment. The pages are geared to 1024 and tables are set to 90% width.

Thanks
Rick

site looks pretty good...the one thing that jumped out though is your product images might be a little better if they had less colour behind them (like a white background). that way the products would pop a little more

the header is very nice
the design of flowers adds much beauty to the site.
some of the images under "view our designs" are well optimised and are about 2 kb while some are 15 kb.
