We finally were able to get through the loading of all of our products after a change from one of our wholesalers and the migration.

Looking for any suggestions constructive or otherwise.

The font on your homepage is a bit hard to read. The italic paragraph text at your top of page might be easier to read if it were normal text, plus this allows you to save italics for something you want to emphasize.

What really bothered me was the red "Rage" font under your category pictures on the home page. I had to do a bit of work to figure it out, and it's always a good rule of thumb in E-Commerce to not make your users think any more than they have to.

Hope this helps!

Education is spelled incorrectly in the left column, and in the title of the page it links to.

Thanks for the review!! Sometimes you look at something so many times you do not notice errors. Any more suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Under "Shop Our Products"
If you start clicking on the categories, you will notice that when the new pages load the page width is different on 'Erotic Toys' and 'Bedroom Pleasures'. It is just something that annoys me.

Thanks for the feedback. Can you tell me what browser you are using? When I try to duplicate what you found I could not get it to work. I am running IE 7 and Firefox 3.0.5.

Thanks

I figure it out. Some of your pages, you need to scroll down, so the scroll bar activates. When that happens, it will kill a couple of pixels which causes a re-center. I can only notice it on Firefox (3.0.5). The image below is what I am talking about. I wouldn't really worry about it now (since I know now what causes it).

Some other things I saw for "improvement"
-Your copyright says '2006'
-The links on the bottom of the page are hard to read due to the orange background. Maybe change it to black?

I would suggest you work on your category meta tags and page titles. There are many pages of your site that include the same basic descriptions/tags. Try to find one aspect of each category page and each product page that is unique and build upon that.

The best way to develop content and meta tags for search engines is to conduct some tests by doing searches on the exact words and descriptions you would use to describe each category and product to someone who was asking you directly. Then look at the results of who is landing on the first 10 - 30 rankings. Are they using the same descriptions or keywords to land on top of the rankings? How many times do those words show up in the search results? Google and Yahoo use the short descriptions, meta tags and internal links on our web pages to display the keywords and phrases that we rank highly for.

We are in a highly competitive market and have to work our pages somewhat to get higher rankings even though we sometimes don't want to add so much "content" or description text to each page. If you decide to pay for sponsor placement it is sometimes cheaper to use descriptions or keywords that are similar to the ones you actually want to use. But build your product pages around those exact terms. Make the page title, short descriptions and tags have virtually the same info plus some extra terms and you will notice quick results in your rankings

Good Luck

NOTE: your images and text do appear a bit fuzzy on my monitor also.
