 Amigos, thank you very much for the replies so far! Unfortunately (or fortunately for my poor sitebuilder site?) I`ve been bombarded with a ton of emails from web developers offering their services, so I`m yanking the post.

Ok, sorry it will be hard for me to look at it without my tech glasses on.
- The first thing that hit me is that for the amount of information, contents that you have on the first page they should be no need for scrolling down, slim the page a little so it fits without any scrolling.
- Also try and divide the long page in two, better yet try and organize the watches in categories, I believe 4 or 5 of them, then let people see teh pictures by category not this long page.
- do not let the larger pictures of the watch take away from the main page especially with no link back to it, you either increase the image on the same page or you do it in another window, popup like .
- For the rest, I have always liked simple, but you need to work to make your site practical, easy to navigate on and so ...

Good luck, and god bless you and yours

Placid.

Yeah, your site builder creates a lot of negative issues, but you either get a new design that is coded cleaner, have this layout reworked, or live with this one.

Just my opinion, I see no purpose in having a big picture of water, a short picture of a watch, and a big ugly menu in the middle of them. You`re making the watch image secondary to the water and the menu. Even if they are dive watches, it seems backwards to me. Showing someone wearing it in water would work. Or, just the watch image with your company/site name on the right. But the 3 together don`t work.

The menu bar has to go .... or go somewhere else, anyway. Make it shorter; with what little bit is there, it doesn`t need to be so tall.

The whole message on the main page is "Hold on ... it`s coming .... almost there ... getting closer" .... maybe add some info of what it is everyone is waiting on, and why they should keep waiting? What is so special about this item that I would wait for it, when I can go to WallyWorld or somewhere else and get a watch today?

When going to other pages, your home link isn`t with the rest of the links, and doesn`t work on every page. Your Warranty link doesn`t work either.

My main complaint is that the home page doesn`t really show much about watches. There are generic images, and only by reading the content do we hear about watches. It should visually and immediately connect the site with watches.

The water is wide and large, but the picture of a watch is thin and almost not visible. I`m thinking you could switch the two images and have a better visual site-landing-page.
