Is the Layout OK ?

[Chuckie]

Hiya, i see there are lots of helpful people here, with lots of constructive comments. After playing around with numerous layouts i think i have found a layout that im happy with, but if anyone could take a look at my site and see what they think. Any comments on the site i would be grateful also.
Do you think anything needs changing ?
Does anything need adding ?
All comments welcome.

Hi James,

not quite sure why but when viewing in either Mozilla or Firefox your header images are missing - as well as a lot of other corruption to the layout as viewed under IE.

I would recommend putting links to the main sections (battery, cable, chargers etc) from the homepage and making less emphasis on the new arrivals which dominate the page. It is hard to see your extensive portfolio from the homepage.

Have you changed the product template as the product description is showing on the same line as the product name which looks a little messy - would be worth adding a <br> tag in there to move the description down a line

Main comment would be to use percentages for the text size, or x-small, xx-small etc for the text, as any site being developed now should as best as possible be aiming for accessibility, which is difficult enough to achieve in many forms with Actinic anyway, without restricting this ability to a fixed size.

That all said, unless you end up knocking shoulders with some mainstream internet shopping sites, then the chance of a customer trying to buy from you and taking exception to your fixed text which restricts there bad eyesight from seeing the text of the items they are buying is remote, but none the less fixed text sizes should be avoided where and when ever possible now to cover you on this legislation and keep your site in the good books of those just acheing to take a stab at you (which these people do exist)...

Like I say, Actinic is not the best at accessibility, but that is the nature of the beast, and this reply is not a note for an all out on accessibility as that has been moaned and groaned over before, but just thought should point out what you can do....

Nice clean design though
