To Jeanne - thanks for the tips- I have fixed the problems now...it was my secure server (wasnt set up properly) and it took me a while to figure out how to use the authbox.tpl!
To Chris,
Thanks for your suggestions..
1) The stars Im not sure either - I just thought it was cool...right now, your the 2nd person to comment about it interfering....2 out of 4 people had some concerns about it so Im in a dilly of a pickle
2) I will see if I can move the products online....but I can see it though...are you in 1280 x 768 ?
3) The images is where Im having problems. I want the detailed images to be big, yet load fast...how "big" would you say is suffice? And thanks for pointing out the 56k modem thing...not to sound like a snobby fool, I thought that everyone would be on cable or DSL by now
4) I use Macromedia Fireworks to create my designs...its a really handy software....What are you looking for? I'd be more than happen to design a logo for you (free of course

) 'cause I LOVE creating images!
Cheers,
japanchick
P.S. About Chris' site...
I like the color of your site - blue and white is really royal!
But it seems to me thats its not very "unified"
Forexample, you might try to put images for the menu titles (like I did) and make them 148x29 to fit the menu titles exactly...
Also, perhaps the fonts could be a bit more consitent in size and shape, or maybe use a more unique font? check out
www.fontalicious.com for great fonts!
Im not sure if the red color really goes with your site...it kinda sticks out like a sore thumb if you know what I mean...if you want some great color schemes, go search on yahoo for "color wheel" and you should find loads of shareware software that will help you develop a unified color scheme..
lastly, what is the purpose of the images on the top - are they places that purchase your services?
