Well I had to switch it over to blue, these colors are "pretty" and maybe girlish but it looks good I think anyway and they like it. But any critisicm is good and helpful. Megan your good at that, take the floor Smiling. And I am thinking of having a default message on that little display.

Colours are a lot better.

Not girlsih at all in my oppion

The only thing I don't like is the double borders around the tables.

And the rollovers take a long time to process

Really like the use of text flying in with the mouseover. I agree with Josh about the table border. I would like to see rounded corners on the table to match the round buttons. You also might bold the News and New Products heading. Also might consider using only the word Products. The weight is a little heavy on the right.

Thanks guys, thats the 3rd mention of the double borders. I will see how it looks without it. The rollovers on a 56 might take too long, but I need to fix the preloader which should have them load before loading of the page is done. Bold titles, I tried that already and I didn't like how bold looked but removing "New" from new products isn't a bad idea and rounded table is good also, had that in mind. Thanks a lot guys.

I like the new blue colors.

On my computer the mouseovers (were the text slides in) didnt load, so i sat my mouse over the buttons for a few to see what happened.

When you mousoever the buttons, it seems you just put a gradient over the button without making a new one, i know this is pciky, but just make another pushed in button, it will look better, remeber, a little does alot..

I'm viewing your site on 1024by768, and around your main table is a alot.. alot of white. Maybe make your entire site 800 by 600, as very few people use 640 by 480. Punish them for having a old computer, make em' scroll sideways.
but anyways, i think your site would be better if it was 800 by 600 in size.

Nice site, good colors. Pleasing.

I might consider adding a third color - it seems like a lot of people are toning down their sites (not using gobs of colors) but now it's gone too much the other way. Color definitely adds interest and with just the two colors the site looks flat. You don't have to add a lot of a third color - just a splash here and there could really liven it up!

I think the colours look great, but I agree with Grandmaster about the rollovers. Those up buttons just don't look right (and I don't get any flying text at all - slow connection I guess).

I actually don't have a problem with all the white space on this one. The white makes the design look really clean and light. I find it attractive.

A picture of some sort of wireless phone or pager or something would really help to liven up the front page. Pictures really help to give people an immediate impression of what your site is about, before they even read anything. This would also help with the colour problem that Brooke was talking about (because I really can't think of any other colour that would work with this design).

One more thing - make those headers (News, new products etc.) a little bit bigger and bolder so they stand out more.

Ah thanks all for the feedback, I went ahead and redid a lot of it, I think this looks much better, infact I really like it. Needs a little fixing up but its 5 am now and I am going in to the office tomorow (maybe) so I must sleep. Not sure whether to put a divider between the cells under News and New Products. Well thanks again all for all the feedback.

Looks great! I do think that a divider between "news" and "new products" would be a good idea.
