    Hi,

    Please take a look at my site:
    http://digibuy.freehostia.com

    I'm proposing an e-commerce site, just looking for some opinions on designs and functionaility as it is still in development. I hope to add a working shopping cart (possibily with jQuery) and plan to implement PHP & MySQL for product database.

    Cheers.

    What's with the Accessibility stuff. Your site performs very badly in this respect. So badly that for all intents and purposes you have managed to turn my condition into a disability. :mad:

    The references would need to be removed before I can go any further.

    I'm not looking for a footer review.

    It's not a mere footer review. One of your mistakes will potentially lose about 5% of your sales.:cool:

    Also it's a pet hate mine when sites make some claim or implication that the site is accessible when it quite the opposite. It's like a building which says it is wheelchair friendly so long as you hop out and drag you and your wheelchair up the stairs because we didn't think a ramp was required.:mad:

    I will obviously put more emphasis on accessibility when I complete the site(cart functions, real product database etc).

    Whatever, I'm not going to waste any more time unless that rhubarb removed. I doubt you'll be able to figure out the sales loss one anyway.

    I have removed so called rhubarb, accessibility is something which I have slightly overlooked, I will work on this more in the future.

    There's a persistent horizontal scrollbar in FireFox 3.0.1 that is really offputting. It only leads to white space beyond the RH column.

    Also, your banner could use a dash of life!

    Well on your way though. :)

    Are you browsing at 1024x768 or lower?
