Changing website
Hey guys,
I need some feedback on our web site. We have not changed anything for some time, but the future is now. I'm not a computer person at all, as some already know, so I need good and bad. Please try to be nice, because I'm still learning!
Thanks

Nice!
Randy,
Great job! I especially like the green text on black background - very easy to read. Although I didn't have enough time to peruse the entire website, I did notice a couple of areas that could be improved:
1) In the induction section, the Blackwing description column should be left-justified and a bit wider; there's plenty of space.
2) There is no description of the Halltech Stinger.
3) There are no "Buy now" buttons. Impulse shoppers use credit cards. It looks like they must call to order.
4) The Blackwing is also listed in the "Exhaust" section
Other than these minor details, the site looks very proffesional. I hope to improve mine to your site's level someday. Hey, practice makes perfect!

Nice job Randy. I didn't look at the entire site, but I did notice one thing on the main page that is a problem. You have a horizontal scrollbar on the main frame, even though there is no content on the right side after the user scrolls over.
You can fix it by eliminating the following chunk of code in main_page.htm:
What that code does is define an image map that is outside the page border. Since there is no target defined for the image map, it is completely useless and serves no purpose.
Delete that chunk of code, and find some way of appealing to impulse buyers (as suggested by Dave), and you will have a winner.
