Thank you for your time and feedback received to date which has been noted and hope to have resolved in due course.

A useful process of evaluation has been carried out here, nice work guys.

The issues raised are simple to resolve and I will consult direct with Mark away from the public forum. In response to current comments=>

1 Consistent search layout => 5 minute fix.
2 Image on front page of 'young lady' (bird?? not pc!) => client request, I like it.
3 Bank images => resize 5 minute fix
4 Cart colours => 5 minute css tweak
5 Animated gif => change from £25 to FREE if client requests. Disagree it is annoying, using good design principles, animated should be used sparingly to grab attention not to overkill or 'because we can'. I strongly believe this achieves its aim.
6 1024 monitor break => Malc, no sign here, is you PC on the blink?
7 BG colour FF vs IE => the old DECLARE EVERYTHING CORRECTLY to FF. A # missing in the CSS
8 Cart layout => will be reviewed upon client instruction
9 About us link => as point 8
10 Address addition => as point 8
11 Logo/SEO => as point 8

Just to confirm, site management is not under LOS control and any changes and/or additions are made outside of our control.

That said, in line with our SLA's we do offer FREE SUPPORT and if our client requests any formal repairs, these will be undertaken.

Thanks for your critique guys.

IMHO Repedative animation not only is a distraction BUT is annoying. I have often immediatly gone off a site that has distracting animation - Question: is the inclusion of a flashing animation worth the risk of loosing even one customer?

Again IMHO if animation is required, then let it cycle for a 2 - 3 seconds at most, then let it stop...

( Anyone want a spinning email button? )

6 1024 monitor break => Malc, no sign here, is you PC on the blink?

No problems on a 1920 x 1200!
