Your poll is not clear ... what are you asking?

Your site looks like a template ... and the black background isn't exactly what I would expect for a florist site ...

Needs SEO ...

Cheers, MJ

" This site is best viewed with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or greater or Netscape Navigator 4.74 or greater." is a complete waste of electrons.
" Il est préférable de consulter ce site avec Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 ou une version plus récente ou bien avec Netscape Navigator 4.74 ou une version plus récente." est un gaspillage complet d'électrons.

I looked at both Contact Us and About Us and could not find a physical address. Very frustrating.

Being rather inexperienced at building websites myself, I don't feel qualified to give opinions about other's websites. But - I'm an old pro at shopping! So from a consumer viewpoint, I especially like the Holiday Traditions, About Flowers Origin and History, and the Quotations sections. Maybe you could feature these in some way? Maybe show an arrangement with the flowers 'message' beside it, under it, near it? Really, if I was looking for a way to say I love you, I think I might be influenced to buy by a blurb telling me "The roses in this bouquet say...I love you." (etc) Oh - and I love Montreal, too!

Hello,

Well, your web site is attractive.

For my own I would try to lower the weight of the very beautifull home page image.

I think that the writing color is somehow to lignt, let's say to yellow.

Also, I would try to optimize the pictures. Something like more depth and shadow to give the flowers a higher relief.

Anyway, your web site is a nice place to order.

Go to Jail. Go Directly To Jail. DO NOT PASS GO. DO NOT Collect $200.

Why?
For this (quoted from your site):
"If your browser does not support Javascript, we recommend that you copy your favorite quote now and paste it into the order form when you complete your transaction."

My mother would call me and ask 'what's javascript?' if she came across such a message. Actually, she'd be more likely to just go to another site. She wouldn't know if her 'browser supports it' or not and she wouldn't understand if I tried to explain. She may or may not know what a browser is.

All she would want to do is order some flowers.

Your jump menu for choosing quotes should load automatically without having to click the 'go' button. It's a jump menu, let it jump.
It is also a bit confusing what it does. Some of the options in the menu put quotes on the page while others bring up arrangements. What is it for? And what's with the different text sizes for the quotes? I needed a damn magnifying glass for some of them and I have near perfect vision. Make them all readable and consistent.

Did you know your background color is yellow? why have an image tiling the black background when you can use CSS to make it black? You made it yellow, didn't you? So you can make it black if that's what you want.

Get a book on CSS and learn how to use it. There is no reason why all of your list items in the unordered lists need to have the same classes on them. Change the UL classes to ids then target the list items like this:

Code:
#ul_id_name li{
style rules here
}
likewise, the <span/>s and classes on your list item links are unnecessary. Use something like this to style them:
Code:
#ul_id_name li a{
style rules here
}
I'll suggest it one more time: Get a book on CSS and learn how to use it. I'll bet you could have made this site with less than half the code. I could go on, but until you get that book, it's likely you wouldn't understand my suggestions.

Your site fails HTML validation with 99 errors and fails CSS validation with 38 errors. Multiple errors for 508 compliance, as well.

Finally, make your phone number BIGGER.
