Thanks in advance, the url is http://www.1staiddirect.co.uk

In first 10 seconds of hitting the site, my thoughts were this looks OK as the page built. Then i saw that the home page is close on 150% wider than you want it to be and you have a massive area of empty real estate in the header area. I think you should get these areas addressed for starters.

your hair is a mess and your shoes need cleaning.

Hi Harvey - the first thing I notice is that all the main content (your products in the boxes), in IE6 drop down to the bottom of the page (see attached screen shot).

Now that is scary... how could you possibly know that!?!

All comments so far much appreciated, looking into the issues raised right now!

Can anyone have any pointers as to why that might be?

I like it - but i'd prefer to see unique product images on this page

http://www.1staiddirect.co.uk/acatalog/index.html

rather then the same green image, having the same image forces me to read the small text whereas the images on this page are far more inviting and make me click

Guaranteed 99.99% to be widths.

I've tackled the easiest part first!

Many thanks for the heads-up Jo

If you get a spare moment could you take another quick look please?

Does the Best Seller and New products list account for your comment about the width of the home page?


Thanks

is that bird on the header playing a fps game?

looks like her fingers are over the wsad keys. perhaps she's dishing out pwnage?

With that smile? Most likely COD4 - She must be l33t - not even looking at screen!

I reckon the MD has just ravaged her, who sits at their desk with a monitor at 100 degress to them. I don't think she is taking her job seriously, if she is to be the image of this company, i suggest she removes the straw from her hair, turns her monitor round and gets on with some 'kin work. Lazy little sod.

PS - yes home page widths now seem fine, just the sheila to sort out now.
