-thanks to Rob the new dialed-in performance site is almost ready to launch ,there are some new product images to upload along with technical video and pictures.but there is lots of time for that.the main focuss was getting the text and site operational.

...let us know what you think.
Not bad at all, Jim...

Your technical page is waaaaay too technical. Break it up into segments and link to those. Some of your target market has never bought a NOS kit. Dumb it down.

The checker background is a little hard on the eyes. Consider knocking the image opacity down to about 50%.

I'd increase the "body copy"font size on your style sheet to 10pt.

On the "About Us" page, add some info about you. People want to know who they're buying from, and why they should. The proprietor should not be anonymous.

Your shopping cart truly excels. Your hard work will pay off in sales. It's functional and easy to use. Your images are spectacular and so are your descriptions. That's how it should be done.

100% what J said PLUS:

The front page news needs some attention for width constraints

I would drop the grey bar on the left of your pages that aren't going to have anything in them (leave it as is on the front page News)

Put a Home button on your nav bar - your Logo top left goes to a bad link.

Have links page?

Have a downloadable banner for others to place on their pages - Hint Hint....

Nice work. It's nice to see a retail site with that much info on it.

thanks for the input .
i was able to get the site out to another 6 people and between robs and my input and yours here and the others excellent feedback was obtained and we will make changes based on the input.
thanks for taking the time to give it the once over


The front page news needs some attention for width constraints
yes we are aware of it and the problem is browser related.and seams to only show up on the explorer browser ,other browsers its fine.it is being looked into  


I would drop the grey bar on the left of your pages that aren't going to have anything in them (leave it as is on the front page News)
these will be used as things grow to highlite relating products etc

Put a Home button on your nav bar - your Logo top left goes to a bad link.
once it is off the temp link this feature will operate fine


Have a downloadable banner for others to place on their pages - Hint Hint....  
thanks ,rob had mentioned that if you let him know what size you need he will make one up.

Your technical page is waaaaay too technical. Break it up into segments and link to those. Some of your target market has never bought a NOS kit. Dumb it down.
will review the text later ,but in the mean time a drop down listing will be added to make searching the tech section easier,as well as give a god place to have links to video and instructions


On the "About Us" page, add some info about you. People want to know who they're buying from, and why they should. The proprietor should not be anonymous.
good point will look at it again

Your shopping cart truly excels. Your hard work will pay off in sales. It's functional and easy to use. Your images are spectacular and so are your descriptions. That's how it should be done.  
yes !! rob came through on this one ,the shopping feature is fantastic.some newer images will be added when parts arrive and there is still some to add.

For banners I would come up with a couple sizes 468x60 is a normal size, then add a couple of variations like 120x80 (Button) etc...
