New and improved

I think I'm ready to open for business but I'd like some feedback. I made some changes that hopefully will help with the search engines as well as some aesthetic changes.

Huge improvement over the other...it just looked cluttered.

I like to keep my index page to the bare minimum of scrolling...just a quick how ya doing and then branch out. Yours has some scrolling but is easy enough to take it in upon arrival so that's not a biggie.

I usually don't care to use a stark white background but, in your case, you'd have to do alot of graphic editing to make it blend to another background. All of your graphics work together well and I don't see the cheap looking wep buttons alot of folks use.

If I had to change anything, it would be to make all the division headers (Categories, Sign In, Shopping Cart, etc.) a uniform color. Uniformity is one of my quirks.

-Use a dark font on a light gray background, as opposed to a white font (low price, and checkout :hover)
-It feels like the left column has too much stuff compared to the right column. The right one is shorter, I suppose, because it'll contain your shopping cart (so if you're shopping, it'll have more content), but it just seems lopsided by default.
-I don't like the UPS / credit card images near the top. They just seem forced in there. Maybe if you removed their white backgrounds, they'd fit better. You might want to play around with that and see what looks best.
-Code is messy, but there's nothing you can do about that.

I like it, overall.

Thanks for the input. I agree with all the comments.

I fooled around with the box header colors. When I made them all blue-gray (like the categories box), it was distracting and looked cluttered. When I made them all brown, the categories box kind of got lost. I think the solution is to redesign the categories box.

I cleaned up the logos at the top. I may move them to the right side since it is kind of unbalanced. There will be some other boxes on the right like the "Best Sellers" and "Order History" and those will balance it out a little more.

Thanks!
Ben
