The top header looks good. You need to change the other colors with it. It might be better if you raised the name, sku and price up higher (on the right of pictures) That way they don't have to scroll down so far to see the price.
Or split the picutres up- use one for the main image and put the others underneath in the description field.

I agree with Judy. The header looks nice, but the design of the rest of the site does not seem to fit. You should spend some time customizing the style sheets so that they reflect the design of your header. Also, it is important to view your site on different sized monitors and with different browsers. Different pages on your site are different sizes, some fitting nicely in the center of the screen, some aligned to the left of the window, and some streatching across the entire window. It makes for a very discombobulated look and is not enjoyable to browse.

Also, some of your pages, like login.aspx, still use the default AbleCommerce header.

And you should make all your content pages (like FAQ, About Us, etc) Webpages within AbleCommerce. It will make managing and organizing them much easier. Also, if your content pages are not incorporated within AbleCommerce customers that have cookies disabled won't be able to visit one of those pages and keep their items in their baskets.

I also agree with Judy's comments about the images and the placement of the product information. They layout of the pages need some careful consideration.

With a little effort you can get the site to look very sharp. You have a nice start with the header, but you have to work on the rest of the site, too.
