I love the boxes that surround the products, really sharp.
I like the whole site actually, great work, maybe not worth a good girlfriend, but close

Well the girlfriend hopes this is the last of it - she doesnt know that if I start selling the products I'll be spending my day packing them!!!
Need to secure the site and a bit more testing. I was interested if anyone liked the content and if a layman saw the site they would understand what they are buying.
Thanks

Is there a comparison of the various products all in a grid?
People like me for example would like the most space for our money, it would be nice to compare specs like that across your entire range rather than viewing each product individually and noting down the specs.Matt Wallis

The guys at Protx just raised their charges - I should say Hiked from £0.05 per transaction with no minimum spend to £20pcm min and £0.10 per transaction.

Well done!

Only thing, and yes I know it's anal, but just thought I'd mention is the upper right hand side of the header... looks like it was just cut... maybe round it also? Maybe that was the look you were going for, but looks a tiny bit out of place to me.
Amazing work on the site! Very clean and corporate looking.

I really can't pin point it (sad to say since I'm a designer). It just isn't that appealing to me. Something like outpost.com would look nice. osCommerce @ http://www.drivebuddy.com/ has a better layout but not design. You know what I mean by layout? The way the links, tables, ect. are set up. It looks more professional. But all in all, http://www.drivebuddy.com/store1/default.php designs quality is the same as www.TigerDirect.com

Thanks for that - so whats best way to improve the layout - I spent more time on the design and graphics rather than layout. Can you give me a site that you rate as 8/10 or higher ?

The layout of Pricegrabber.com, Amazon.com, and the osCommerce one at DriveBuddy.com. Start to see the pattern? I hope.
