My thoughts:

I think some sort of insignia would help with your branding. I saw on one of the boxes that Whiner and Diner was there, but that logo is not on the site anywhere--I did see it way at the bottom of the history page though. 

The site could still use some refinement, one thing that is confusing is the nav bar--it has too many choices. The layout could be more logical as others have already pointed out:

Home: About Us: Order: Contact: News: Links

The photography could use some work.

On the homepage you have several "messages". For example:

WHINER AND DINER, DOG AND CAT FEEDERS AND BEDS

ECO-CHIC PET FEEDERS AND BEDS for Posh Pets and Tasteful People

WINE CRATE PET FEEDERS AND BEDS

Stick with your name and one tag line that you want people to most remember about your brand. For example:

WHINER AND DINER,

Luxury Accesories for Dogs and Cats, or, Luxury Class Accesories for Discrimiating Pets.

Pay no attention to the e-mail you received. I was also ranked in the Top 100 and received the message below. Apparently, this person knows a very talented 8 year old.

I am contacting you because I saw your company on MSN’s homepage as one of the top home based businesses. I then proceeded and clicked on the link which lead my to your site and was very disappointed. To have such a high class and upscale business that caters to the wealthy your site looks like my eight year old daughter created it. I am not trying to be malicious or mean but I am simply trying to help upgrade your website. Our company can create from scratch to your vision a professional , clean and user friendly site. For an HTML site would run $1,000 and a full flash website would cost $2,000....

 

It`s one thing when a person feels they can offer a needed service to a company. It`s another when the first thing they can do is criticize what the company is currently doing. No one will ever get business that way.
