Hi Jeannie,

Centering the page should be a very simple and straightforward process.

After a quick cursory glance at your site code, I see that the container is controlled with a table, yet much of the content within the table is in an absolutely positioned div. I`m not sure why your developer decided to use this structure... to be honest (and not intending to be mean at all) the code is a bit of a mess.

Now that I see it, this absolutely positioned div is also the likely culprit for the image overlap problem.

Strict CSS vs Tables is a hot point of controversy in the coding community, but given your specific purposes and resources it would make more sense to use a combination of tables within the HTML file for structure, and an external CSS file for style. 

If your developer insists on using an absolutely positioned div, all they have to do is place it inside a relatively positioned div... though in such a case the whole page should be laid out with CSS to avoid conflicts. Divs shouldn`t really be used at all without a full understanding of CSS layout, in my opinion.

Best of luck,

Chanie

Nice site -clean look.
I recommend adding a way to purchase online, instead
of downloading pdf form and mailing with check.

I have an easy solution, seamless and very inexpensive.

Great product, Great potential. an online shopping cart may help for online orders, you could do a bulk discount possibly. what an innovative product. We offer shopping carts at a very reasonable monthly fee at www.klancohosting.com . We are soon opening a marketplace for women and i think this would be a great place for you since we will have non-profits and schoold doing fundraising. It may be good exsposure.

Dear Tangent 1 and Stonesledge,

Thanks for your nice feedback!  But both of you scared me when BOTH of you said that I should offer a way for customers to purchase online.  I was thinking..."YES, I am offering PayPal as an option to pay online already..is the PayPal not working now?"  - So you guys just scared me for a second. 

So..please note that I currently offer two ways to purchase: mail order form and PayPal.  Thanks for the advice though.

And Stonesledge, I would be interested in the women marketplace when you open it.  Just let me know.  Thanks!

Jeannie

Paypal i think is great. I try and get all of my clients using it instead os normal merchant services. We are also going to be using paypal as the payment gateway for our women`s marketplace. I added you to my buddy list and as soon as we launch i will let ya know. I think that you have such a neat unique product, you are bound to be a success!
