A nice, no-nonsense commercial website. Easy to navigate and find what you have in stock. I also like the links to the manufacturer in the specs.
Nice job! wink.gif

sorry I don't understand what dead picture links you're talking about

I posted a pic of your template and circled the 'dead picture links' in red.

P3D1G0 is right, you have some dead images. The layout isn't horrible but is a bit bland. Try a more organized and unique layout with more colors and gradients.

I noticed the dead picture links the other day while using a different computer. The links are a problem in Internet Explorer. I use firefox as my main browser as I use linux and there are no dead picture links in firefox. Thanks for letting me know about the problem as I will work on a fix in the next couple day

In terms of clarity, this website is edging on clean, and is fairly easy to navigate. However, the banner is too bland, boring and empty. The font doesn't work with the content. it's supposed to be modern/techno, it shouldn't look like a freehand font. also, there doesn't seem to be much of a color scheme going on here. yellow and computers doesn't go. nothing really stands out. there is no BANG factor anywhere. If you were aiming for a sleek, clean layout, it would actually be better to base your scheme on an off-white or off-gray color rather than just white background and black text.
It's fine as it is, but there is a lot of space for improvement.

The dead images are still there in Firefox, it just doesn't show a big red X like IE.

Well the images are showing up fine for me. I just don't like the overall layout. I don't see anything unique about that layout that makes me want to stay there. I also saw the price for those desktops and my jaw just dropped. $1500 for this computer that I can buy from other sites for cheaper, wow

Wow thank you for the much needed help IamShipon1988! Your comments such as 'I just don't like the overall layout. I don't see anything unique about that layout that makes me want to stay there.' help me better my website so much. Reviews like this remind me why I don't like forums very much.

I would like to thank those of you who posted above IamShipon1988, as I am currently working on some of those suggestions that you have made.

I am still open to constructive feedback as I am constantly trying to better my site.

The gradients seem a bit old and depressing, especially the header. Other than that, it's just like what jhsmurray said: it's a no-nonsense website.
