I've spent the last Month and a half transitioning my client from this:

http://archery-experts.stores.yahoo.net/index.html


To this:

http://www.RedmondOutdoors.com


I'm aware they have some stupid broken images and bad content on their Clearance page (we are meeting Saturday to talk about that) but other then that the only real customizations I have left to do for them are administrative and not visible by customers. I'd be appreciative of any feedback. :)

Thanks

I like the way you've done some of your category pages without the images- I was thinking of doing that for a client who sells water purification- how exiting would a page be with an image of a brass nut for a bunch of categories?
It would look better if you got rid of the Able olive all together. I don't know why they had olive default with blue buttons to start with. You've alreay got some of of it red, which is good coloring, but if you replaced the olive with a color you picked up from your header image or even the light gray, the site would pull together more.

Thanks Judy, your responses are always valuable and informative. :)


I'd love to take credit for how we did the categories at the first layer but that concept was taken from Cabellas. They are the biggest in that industry and the general thought was that 1) our customers are used to that from Cabellas and 2) Cabellas already did all the testing to see that this way of doing things works with their clients.

I did do some cute code jokey work to make the categories stagger from one side to the next when they go in so he didn't have to fumble with order to get the right thing on top in the admin though. :)
