Certainly not bad for a first attempt!

I would reccomend that in future you abandon the table structure for <div> tags. It only took me a couple of days to learn how to make a website fully out of <div> tags so it is worth doing.

Other than that, there are certainly mistakes and improvements to be made, but you will learn them on your own soon enough through making more sites.

A very impressive first attempt - well done

i likie clean design. i'd add description for each category. it will help decide your users if they need your product. when i landed at the home page i thought that you were selling toys. may be it is just me but you should make clear message about the goal of your site.
Good start!

one thing i would do is change the color of the links on the footer to something other than blue... maybe a light green or white...

Do you have a good site to learn from?
Thanks

Sczzy,

All your product listing structure looks like "ads by google".

Better Make a box, put products in white bg and product header in light bg. some thing border and lots of padding between products. Also maintain consistent thumbnail size

people aren't gonna think ur website is real if all the products listed on it look like if their advertisements from google....

it looks like one of those domain placeholders... where all the things are advertisement links

I still don’t understand Google is #1 what is the problem?
Thanks

if ur product listing looks like an advertisement... people are going to think the site is fake

by the way no one is disputing that Google isn't #1

**Sczzy** · 03-16-2007, 11:15 PM

Are the pic the only thing that is making it look fake(like an advertisement)?
Thanks

**jyoz22** · 03-16-2007, 11:17 PM

the text is structured too much like one of them google ads.. that's the problem...

**Sczzy** · 03-16-2007, 11:22 PM

I get what your saying.
Thanks

**Kirtan** · 03-17-2007, 12:28 AM

Oh. atlast you got my point. Thanks Jyoz for explaining my point.

**mfake_love** · 03-17-2007, 07:06 AM

I have to agree with Jyoz .. it's exactly what my first thought was. I would suggest to split the products into 2 columns and then place each one in a cell (even if you don't want to add the lines, some spacing should do)

**Sczzy** · 03-17-2007, 09:21 AM

Thank you all for your suggestions. I will do what I can to make it look like a store and not a search engine.
