I've had a new site launched for my business. It's www.buildyourjacket.com. It's a site that aimed at high school athletes where they can create and order their customized letterman jackets. Aside from the fact that you have to create a username before making a jacket (I am having that feature removed), I would love some feedback. Thank you!

I took a quick look and I like what I see.  I suggest that for testing and review purposes, you create a dummy logon that will let reviewers to see the purchasing experience.

Hi, A nice look to the site.

When using a flash header animation... one "issue" is that every time the viewer goes to each page the header animation plays AGAIN. Since your animation is not that long - it's not much of a distraction, but you might consider eliminating the flash animation for all pages but your home page???

Watch the file sizes for your images. The image on your "about us" page is 351.8 Kb. which will take a while to download unless the viewer uses a high speed connection.

For SEO, the title for each of your pages are quite simple and not really good targeted key words: "welcome", "about" , and "contact". Plus, I did not see a description. "CVC Sprots is also part of each page's title, which is redundant (and of little search results value)... since it is also your domain name.

Of course the big question is how to get people to even ask about your product?  What is your target market? If it's students.. pricing may be an important factor. So you might consider providing a pricing or at least a price range for your products.

As Steve said (above) some sort of ability to "test" the online process would be good.
