As far as the appearance of your site, the only change I would suggest is to get rid of those dead bushes sticking up through the snow (if that's not what they are, that is what they sure look like) in your banner across the top. Otherwise, I like the color scheme and the layout. Surfed the site a bit and the functionality seemed fine. However, it does not pass W3C validation and is showing 61 errors.

Looks good! I noticed four possible design problems:

1. I agree that the bushes make the page look too cluttered.

2. You might want to make your name stand out more.

3. In your tagline it says, "The world's online marketplace for battery!". It think the correct grammer would be, "The world's online marketplace for batteries!"

4. In my opinion, there are too many things trying to get the visitors attention. You need some more white space.

Really though, you site is very well done. What shopping cart are you using?

I think you've got a nice looking site with tons of information and links but they seem fairly well organized.

You product pages are great (tons of information) and your checkout page looks like it'll do the trick as well.

I entered a test purchase and some random characters in the first name field. Not sure what happened but the order appears to be on it's way to Louis Johnson. You might want to validate the form or check your validation routine to strip out illegal characters that could be used to hack your site.


Couple things to take note of:

1) Having selected a Brand and entered some keywords, the search box is tossing a Javascript "Object Required" error on submission.

2) I'd recommend that you prominently display your physical address on your "Contact us" page. I saw the graphic with the PayPal logo on the bottom right corner of a few other pages, but it's by no means prominent.

3) You really should avoid duplicating the initial paragraph on so many pages. Try to create something unique and related to the topic of each page.

Here's the paragraph I'm referring to:
Quote:
Laptop Battery Mart - Replacement Laptop Batteries, Laptop AC Adapter
We are a manufacturer which specializing in research, manufacture and sales of all replacement rechargeable Li-ion ACER, APPLE, COMPAQ, DELL, HP, IBM, SONY, TOSHIBA, FUJITSU laptop batteries, Laptop AC Adapter.The replacement laptop battery is especially designed for original battery, high capacity ,best quality, full 1-year warranty and 30-day money back!
4) You could make better use of your <h1> headings were they to incorporate some keywords. I'd recommend that you don't use them as the main heading in your menu but where they were intended to be used, as the page heading.

5) On your shipping information page, you don't list any provinces but ask for the "state/province". if you're not shipping to Canada, you might as well remove the word "province" from the field label, otherwise, add the Canadian provinces and territories to the pull down menu.

6) You use the words "laptop battery" too much in your keywords meta tag. You need only list it once, after the manufacturer names.

Quote:
laptop battery pack, laptop battery, acer laptop battery, dell laptop battery, apple laptop battery, compaq laptop battery, fujitsu laptop battery, ibm laptop battery, sony laptop battery, toshiba laptop battery
7) Your meta description could be a lot shorter and much more targeted toward your keywords.

"Need laptop battery? Offer laptop battery pack with hi-capacity and hi-quality, Select and order the suitable replacement laptop battery to power your laptop."

Try to keep this around 160 characters. This might be better:
Quote:
Laptop batteries, battery packs, adapters and charging accessories for your Apple, Acer, Compaq, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, IBM thinkpads, Sony or Toshiba notebooks.
Your page titles could use a little tweaking as well. They should compliment the page's content and employ your targeted keywords and phrases. Try to keep them under 70 characters long. Don't

Agree with the idea to get rid of the bushes in the snow. What's that adding? Also, the repeated use of exclamation points is a turn off. Obviously, we've got some English as a second language problems in the text, especially that all-important first paragraph, as well as the about us "You can order products with a direct delivery to your home via our website and reward a nice shopping experience."

Have a native English speaker proof all of this for you. In the United States, we put a hypen between the first three and last three phone numbers - 201-963-4588.

But for the most part, the graphics and layout are pleasing. It wouldn't take much to make this a real winner.
