[Vadim]

I just redesigned my site http://www.vadim.co.uk

What do you guys think?

Genrally nice, I suggest you get your self a copy of Mozilla and have a look at your custom page

Thanks Jas,
I oversaw it.
Fixed now.

It still doesn't look too nice in Mozilla!

I'd recommend you to get Mozilla Firefox.

[WhiskyFudge]

It now looks the same to me in Moz, firefox and IE, unless theres something im missing - Mark?

Jas

[markjanssen]

hm now it does!

edit: the 'enlarge image' popup windows don't get the correct size in firefox.

[Vadim]

Thanks guys for input. Yes, I use firebox as my mozila.
Yeah, well java is not perfect.
But I am still working on this. I might find a solution.

But on overal the design is good? Isnt it too boring? I am thinking to make the boxes' borders a bit more darker. what do you think?

[markjanssen]

I think it looks good!

[Vadim]

thanks Mark
Now I can sleep well tonight then if two people liked it then

actually i have got something more productive to say, the light blues are really nice and fresh but from a selling point of view i'm not sure they grab the buyers attention, comapre your front page to dabs.com even though i need to get some more memory when i looked at yours I saw a floppy drive cable and closed the window where as dabs is a mass of special offers and shiny things and you think wooooo and take a look around. I might be totally wrong though just my opinion what does everyone else think?

And a little thing when you click on an item there are some little coloured bars for availability, few people will realise they are tooltipped and won't think 'yes its in stock ill have that' theyll think what's that, goodbye.

sorry if that is too harsh, hope it goes well, might buy from you in a bit

There you have another bug!
You tooltip your images using alt attributes. Works good in IE, but not in any other browser. Alt attributes are there to provide alternate text, for users that can't/don't view images. Microsoft liked to put them as tooltip, which is wrong.
The 'real' tooltip attribute is title, which works the same as alt.

btw. as far as I know there is a bug in IE, which shows the alt attribute as tooltip even if a title one is defined.

And also, this 'live chat' button doesn't fit with your site (it's pink and your site's blue - make it a bit more blueish, and some more descriptive. 'Live chat' could also be a banner from some flirt/whatever site )

Thanks for post.
Colours: I would agree to make them darker, I might change that shortly.
FD cables: I changed the code so the cheap products will not appear on the new products.
Bars: thanks, I will change that to something more understandable.
