new site - opinions please

[super cat]

hi,
could you please have a look at my new site and give your opinions..., good or bad as it might need some work doing to it.

The bestsellers need some line breaks in, and as a customer I would expect them to be links.
Your contact details are in the T&C's but as a customer I would expect to find them in 'contact us' as well.
As far as I can tell your delivery info is only in the T&C's and therefore not easy to find - this is an important one - it should be ideally displayed on the homepage (every page?), but at a minimum should be somewhere obvious.
I don't like the picture in the banner, it's so close to the top it looks chopped off - I kept trying to scroll up the page to see more... and it took a while to figure out what it was!
The navigation bar on the homepage only has 2 items one of which is redundant ('home') so maybe you could do with the other items adding in.

Hope that helps!

o.k, thanks for that.

i'm sure you guessed that i don't know how to add links and line breaks to the best sellers.
can anyone please advise ?

also i need to reduce the width and frame to add a background colour.

thanks.

line breaks add <br /> into the text

links add <a href="http://www.site.com/acatalog/page.html">2. best seller</a>

cheers

Thats much better - now a proper list.

The site is looking much better than the last time I viewed it (12+ months ago) - a definite step in the right direction

Just noticed that the 'Competition Karate mitts' in the middle of the screen aren't a link either, but the yellow one's are...?

If you need a hand with creating html coding take a look at the link below, I found it after struggling to do the most simple change. It shows you how to do code changes and gives you a 'try it' chance so you get to see if you have got it right. Hope it helps

You'll need to add it your additional files list to get Actinic to upload the image. To make the image clickable then do like Jonty said but this time put the image in place of the text:

<a href="http://www.discountmartialartssupplies.co.uk/acatalog/pads.html"><img src="acatalog/130redfocuspads.gif" border="0"></a>

In other words the <a herf...> to be clicked </a> is the format you need.
Don't forget to add border="0" as well, as above, to stop a border showing around your image.

You also have some incomplete tags in that section of your template (image tag is not closed - missing '>') as well as a nested table that could be simplified - but get the link working then have look at that.

Parklifeclothes,
thanks for that...., i think i need it


Drounding,
thanks, i've now done all that, made image clickable but when it clicks to the next page, the image is missing.
any ideas?

You need to make the change to both Act_Primary and Act_BrochurePrimary
