I've done a fair bit of editing to the checkout process e.g. getting rid of side menus, created a progress bar etc but I stil feel there is more I can do. At the moment I have the header (logo, speed bar) at the top and wondering if I should create a "checkout header" that basically omits the speed bar.

I'm in two minds though as I see a few people with, for example, Jons EzCheckout yet they've kept their store header during the checkout sequence. The usability books I've read and Amazon itself seem to suggest to get rid of any unneeded distractions...in fact Amazon definitely seems to want to drive you forwards during the checkout sequence as you can't click on the previous steps as you can with EzCheckout.

What's the general consensus?

Thanks
