Emiliano;

You have a great start there - I really like the overall 'feel', crisp and clean without a lot of clutter.

You seem to have some code issues though. If you click on the main categories like 'Travel', this shows at the top of the page

Quote

1146 - Table 'emiliano.NEWSDESK_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION' doesn't exist

select cd.categories_name, c.categories_image from newsdesk_categories c, NEWSDESK_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION cd where c.categories_id = '1' and cd.categories_id = '1' and cd.language_id = '1'
but the sub-category 'Circuits' appears to be fine.

(and, by the way, it's a sad thing to admit but your english is very possibly better than that of some native english speakers who have "successfully" managed to make it into high school - or beyond :wink: )

It looks excellent to me, nice to see someone not just changing the colours in the stylesheet and thinking they have customised the interface! Nice work.

One thing I did notice, you might want to make the page background a bit wider, at 1280 x 1024 it begins to repeat itself. Also, ditch the cheesy osc cartoons for something a bit more professional looking.
Always be nice to other people, you never know when you might need something from them...

I think that, for a professionally done site, you would probably want to have a professional translation done for any language the wasn't native to you.

(I was mostly making a cynical reference to what I see as a lack of basic learning that seems all too prevalent in some of our young people coming out of the public school system in our country) But your english is pretty good :wink:

I told you in ICQ, but I just wanted to toss my $0.02 in here. It's a great site and looks very professional!

Looks sharp.

Note: on 1600x1200 display, ie notebooks, your background repeats itself and I see the grey bar twice.

I use 1600x1200 with a 19" monitor.

The grey bar still repeats itself.

You might consider using absolute values rather than percentages?

But it's looking very nice. Keep up the good work.

Really nice. Looks professional and still is not too many images as decoration. I like.

You do have a lot of wasted space on the rigth (in the content section). Are you planning to add something there ?

wasted space... itīs a problem, because i have to deal with people who uses 800 * 600 and people who uses 1600 * 1200 and as iīm using fixed width itīs a BIG problem... iīll try to use 100% of monitor space, but i just like how it look with 770 pixels (width)...

another suggestion?

You could just make your store set to be 740 wide so that it works on 800x600 and center it so it looks nice for 1600x1200
