hostclick... I understand your comment. I would like to say that everything found online is in stock. Nothing is on back order... But I should find a way to make it more apparent. Thanks

Hi Vincent,

Like everybody else has already said, well done. I do have a comment, I would prefer a slightly larger font, usually I would not have mention that as it is not a problem since we can easily adjust the size of the font we see by pressing Ctrl and rolling the ball on the mouse. That works just fine in Fx, but in IE for some reason only the titles get enlarged, the content does not. Don’t know what causes that odd behavior, just thought I’d give you a ‘heads up’.

Vincent,
I finally was able to get the site up, fast, no delay, and so forth. Dunno what happened last night, but probably a DSL issue. Anyway...having gone to see it, I love it! The hot links in the content work great, and they`re perfect. :-) And you actually have products (plural) for All Natural Food! Most excellent.

This is so much better than it was, I guess I`m left only with agreeing that the font size is just a tad too small for the page. You can use styles to increase the font in pixels or in points, but I`d like to see more Web sites with at least a 10pt font for basic content, and preferably 11pt.

Terrific job, and I know how much work it involved! :-)

Thanks CraigL. The site is based on CSS so I think I will add a point or two to the font size. Personally, I like it small... and I can`t see either... I just think it looks nicer or cleaner, when it`s small. But it`s not always about me.  I will be increasing the size because more people than SuN have commented on it.

Hi Vincent,

First of all, , great website. It looks clean and professional. However, I have one question: how come we see NOTHING about YOU (the owner I guess) on the site. I would love to see " the story" behind the site or the products. To hear about the WHY & HOW you started the business, what makes it so special to YOU, I want to hear about the person behind the business, his or her passion...I think our CHRIS (dippy chick) did a graet job telling her story...it really adds a "human" dimension to any site...I guess most of ur customers are women, and women like to have a 360 degrees view of what they are buying including the story, they buy the whole package. I heard you on the contest Vince, you are really passionate about what u do, so show it off! Passion is contagious....my 2 cents. cheers. Magda

Magda... You are so right! You have actually caught something I overlooked. The old site had an "About Us" page, but I forgot to update it to this new site. I hope to have it online today. Thanks very much for you comment. I don`t think I would have realized the page was missing.

Vince,

I second Magda`s point. Knowing a little about the people behind the products does create a feeling of ease.

I do like the overall looks of the site and it does flow more smoothly. My only real problem as I mentioned before, is that there are very few choices and no clear leading Super Seller product..  I know that will change with time though. Keep up with the great work!

Hi Vincent,

I really like the look and feel of the site...especially the pictures on the User Confidence page.  Where do you purchase your products?  Maybe you could add a blurb about where they come from (i.e what region in Africa, etc)...

I think it looks great!  Good job and good luck with your site!

lizzers... Thank you for taking a look and giving your feedback. You asked where do we get our products. Nearly every item comes from a different place. Some items are from Thailand or Viet Nam, amongst other countries. Although we also have some that are from right here in San Jose, CA.

TO EVERYONE... I am so happy to hear all the wonderful comments. It has shown that our hard work of programing late at night is paying off. I am very thrilled with the response. Thank you all.
