Please review ArtsyBrazil
I have set up a small site that I would appreciate peoples opinions on.
There are a few sections that are still under construction but getting everyones idea on the site so far would be great.
Heres the link
Thanks

A couple suggestions:
From a search engine optimization perspective, I have a few concerns:
Looking at the code I see you have a p class called "title". Why not replace that with an h1 or h2? Those heading tags are meant to be used for titles!

Great ideas thanks! You're definitely right about the title class, it makes more sense to use h1..h2.. etc.
I'll try implementing your suggestions and see how it turns out.
Thanks again.

Ah, I see you've removed the black border. Big props for being the only Algonquin student to act on our advice! Still got those
<p class="title">
tags in there though.I do think it looks better without the black border. It's easy to make things look too boxy, this looks good now. Overall this is a solid design too.
Like the logo, it's artsy in itself, so reflects the content well. The way it pokes over the top of the main content is pleasing, something else to stop it looking to boxy.
The breadcrumbs are good, looking in the art gallery (and at images in it) they show where the user is on the site and are linked properly. My only quibble is that they don't immediately look like links, just normal text. What is good is that you didn't link the current page: important for usability.
My only other quibble would be that the page titles might look better left-aligned. Also, designing using tables for layout is not done these days, not sure whether you're being taught that however.

Since your site is offering products for sale, why not use a paid hosting than using a free one?
Hosting your site with your own url will add credibility to your offer. There are a lot of cheap hosting out there now you can go for...

This is a college project, the forums have been invaded by students from Algonquin College (not that we mind at all!).
If you try to buy something it'll say 'feature not implemented yet', most of the Algonquin students remembered to mention that it's just a college project, this person forgot though.

Do you still want me to review this or are you finished your class now?

You can use all kinds of free off-the-shelf image gallerys now which would intergrate your large collection art much more smoothly. Also remember, that when hosting pictures on the web, your best having a web optimised version to help shorten download times. Even on my T1 fibre link, your website was quite slow.
