I think it's too white. It needs a splash of colour. I like the watermarks on each category and those boxes need to stay in the central column. I don't like the fact that you need to scroll to read the welcome section, I doubt many people with bother scrolling through all that, I think you need to give that more space on the page if it's something that visitors need to be reading, and if it isn't then maybe cut it down a little but definitely lose the scrolling.

Maybe you could move the site search, latest and expiring offers to a different place. The site search could maybe go top right alongside your logo, with maybe the offers and discounts boxes on the left hand side by the logo but with tabs so you can flick between latest and expiring?

When you click through to a list of items maybe it would be nice to have some images in each box, or do some more styling to the boxes they look quite bland as they are. And again it's a lot of scrolling, maybe have pagination instead? I'm not a big fan or scrolling up and down a page so much and once you scroll to the bottom you have to scroll all the way back up, if you do need to keep the scrolling, put a back to top link at the bottom of the page?

Ah I see when you click through to the items your site search is in the top right, I think that's the best place for it, but it needs to be constant across the site rather than moving around.

Hope this helps. Cheers.

- I think you need better logo and header
- the waremark idea is good although some are pixelate
- it's better to add the sites logos too in the box where you put the brief
- your copyright is 2006

i hope my reviews was helpfull

Shopping site need to have good graphics and some colors in orders to attract visitors. It should not be like black and white that people going to read articles. Use of pictures of goods really attract visitors.
Links and text are of same color. Visitors comes to know the links only when they have mouse pointer over link. It will be better to give different color for links.
In inner pages like http://www.discounthypermarket.com/menus/furniture.htm
You placed adsense ad on both sides. It will be better to put menus on one of the side and ad on other side. Doing not so everytime visitors have to go on home page to view other categories.

1 - Take away or change the logo if I were you. It looks like a logo in the 80s.

2. - Too many stuff, a bit confusing, once a visitor get confuse, they leave..
