Before i get to deep into this project, i wanted to get some direct feedback... this is the basic layout, cut straight out of PS and brought together into html... no working links at this time. The header will eventually be flash... and the "Experienced Assemblers" pic, and related links to the right of it will change upon every revisit or refresh.

Does the bottom navigation fly? Should i add a "quick nav" drop down menu, up by the header? Any comments will help, thanks ahead of time Smiling

Looks good, though, I don't like so much blue. It will get better with the flash header

I don't like the fonts to much and also the left header font doesn't show enough (not enough contrast with the background)

For the rest it's not to bad to start with.

Welcome back!

Try running a validator on your code. Validation can often catch mistakes that cause display problems.

This layout looks okay. It's a little blue-heavy for my tastes though. However, I think the biggest problem with this is that it doesn't do a good job of illustrating the site content. This layout could apply to any site. The design should be in harmony with the content, particularly if you're trying to sell a product. There should be some clear pictures of products here, for example. I also think a white background would be more suitable. Think about who your target audience is and what they need to see.

Another big problem is that the font size under the "announcements" and "deals and offers" is way too small to read comfortably.
