I just finished the first phase of this new web site for a aftermarket auto parts and accessories shop. Let me know what you think of it. Thanks in advance!!

I think it is very well done.

The buttons on the email list page are not aligned properly.

And I would make the red line in the header graphic straight as it goes across (looks to me like a shaky hand type thing).

Overall I think it looks great as well and the only thing I would throw in would be some nice graphical link buttons on the left instead of straight text.

:cool:

Very nice site! Ooh, do I know some people who would be interested in this site! I just created a website for the Street Lethal F Body Association (http://slfba.org) and most members are close to your area. You may know some of them. :D

The text links load much faster than image links, but you can use style sheets to create simulated buttons.

So you take care of American and those little rice burners! :p
You must have alot of business. I see speedy cars, but how about the classic cars? Any interior or paint work for us? I got a 1966 Caddy to restore and a friend has a 1964 Newport. Had to sell the sports cars since having my son and not being able to afford the insurance. ;)

Thanks for the review, B&T! I appreciate the feedback. I'm not sold on the red "shaky hand" line in the header graphic either. It was a quick animation I put together. I guess I'm waiting for some "inspiration" to redo it!

Thanks, man! I know it's only a basic site at this time, but I wanted others' perspectives on the design. Thanks for the look over and suggestion. I actually had graphic buttons made but took them out (for bandwidth savings). I should reconsider though...it would look "cooler."

Thanks again!

Hey, we should exchange some e-mails! The store targets late models, but restoration projects are not out of the question!

I checked out your slfba site. Very nice, as well. How do you do "graphic like" buttons via a css? I've not used that technique. A css/code example would be great.

E-mail me (webmaster@flautosalon.com) if you want to talk more offline about hooking up!

Thanks for the review. Hope to talk soon.

For simulated buttons:

In the head of the html page (or external css):

<style>

</style>

In the body of the html page:

<a id="menu" href="index.htm">Home Page</a>
<a id="menu" href="aboutus.htm">About Us</a>

Excuse the color that was used for yet another website. The code happened to be in the page instead of a separate page. :)
