Looks nice at first glance, hover state on the navbar is awful though.

Looking good! Nice consistent theme. I found a few typos in the About Us, but thats about it.

The paragraph starting "Also another added bonus..." needs rewording as it doesn't quite work.

Keep up the good work.
(Lee's right about the nav bar)

re nav bar

do you mean top nav bar eg: home sitemap etc..
did not think it had a hover state is it calling the origonal theme text or images or some thing.. i see no change on hover..?

[leehack]

The navbar at the top yes, if you look closely you will see it underlines very faintly.

just viewed it over again in ff

just viewed it over again in ff and my about us link is wrapping under (bad)

can someone help with the cause, fine in ie..

adjusted the side nav bar if that was what you meant lee, thought that did not look quite right with the hyphons being underlined on hover.

[acompton]

fine in ie

Not fine in IE7 - I get a funny underline

thanks guys

i agree with the dodgy underline in nav bar bearly notice it on my display, im working on that now.
trying to remember how to set up a new link class, and how to call it in the <a>tag..
its not coming back in a hurry..

[leehack]

The hover state of the <a> tag is a pseudo class which looks something like:

a:hover {
blah blah
}

to have no underline it is

text-decoration: none;

the above would of course style all hover states on <a> tags.

If your navbar has an id, such as "navbar", then to call the hover state on the <a> tags within that id, then you would do:

#navbar a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
}

To do that the navbar must be defined though. It will depend on how you have it setup. Ideally i would say that when a user hovers over one of the links in your navbar, that something like a text colour or a background colour should change. It defines where a user is and what they are selecting.

my about us link is wrapping under (bad),... can someone help with the cause, fine in ie..

It looks like it is being constrained by the table cell also holding the company logo which is forcing the wrap

[jont]

i agree with the dodgy underline in nav bar

You have also included the | seperator in the hyperlink - may be better to move this out of the <a> tag to provide a more defined group for the links (for those with older hand and eyes)

[simbo]

thanks chaps

ive sorted the nav bar, hope that looks a little better, no more wrapping in ff thanks jont,
will carry nav table through to rest of store in a mo.

all your comments are appreciated and taken on board after all i dont care what it looks like as long as its pleasing to the customers eye and easy to navigate.
oh and google's spiders eye of course..

The specification part of the product, shift it down another line so it not bunked in with the description part.

For the custom pages, carm down with the boldness of the text (price guarentee).

Looks good tho, nice work!

Your delivery information page has 12 spelling mistakes, the site looks great, i really like it and it has obviously taken some time. Take the same time to correct your spelling and grammar as this also portrays professionalism. At the moment the spelling and grammar across the site makes it look very unprofessional and takes away from what is a lovely looking site.

If your spelling and grammar is not too good, then there are companies that can check it over for you, failing that paste your text into Word and it will highlight most of the errors for you.

I could easily find 100 grammatical and spelling mistakes without really looking, get those sorted and it will be the icing on a site that looks very nice.
