Hi,
I have a suggestion for you.
You only have one language and,
you only have one currency so no need to have these two boxes on the page.
to remove them go to:
catalog/includes/column_right.php
then at the bottom see this code:

if (substr(basename($PHP_SELF), 0, 8] != 'checkout') {
include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'languages.php');
// include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'currencies.php');

Note: I had to put ] after the 8 so an Emoticon would not display there in this post.

I am using three languages so I left that box but I commented out the currencies box so it would not show as shown above.
// equals a comment line. php will ignore any code on that line.

All you need to do is comment out both boxes so they won't show.

Give it a test try. It works for me. It should work for you.

BTW Real nice header logo treatment!

Hope this helps you a bit.
Emmett

Emmett thanks for the tip, I did what you said and it works like a charm
Can you give any feed back on who fast or slow the page loads?
I set the small image to 85x85 whoever I am looking to put the big image
contribute so product_info can show an image of 145x145
would this blog the page load time?

For page load speed testing go to:
http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/

Bookmark it because you will probably want to use it a lot while developing your site.

Keep track of how the image handling contribution install goes so you can help someone with the install in the future.

A nice clean professional look. Fairly standard osCommerce, but there's certainly nothing wrong with that. I like the little boxes with the + sign for more info.

On the product listing page I would prefer the alternate lines to be a slightly different color. Say, leave your light grey on the odd lines and make the even white. With them all grey the eye doesn't follow across to the Buy Now button.

The pages load nice and fast on my mediocre connection. I would have no problems shopping at your site. Good job!

Jim

I have that feature on my site. It was a part of the Listing with Attributes contribution. That contribution has a lot of things that are not related to what you need, so it may not be the best one for you to use. Perhaps somebody else can recommend one that is simpler.

Quite like the logo, quite like the colour scheme. Don't like the layout at all as it is "standard Oscommerce". You need a new button set.

Overall; Nice colour, poor layout.

Support is commercially available. The question is whether you value your business
highly enough to spend money on it.

It is called “easy way add Qty box in your product_info.php”
I just want to find out how they did this:
Retail: $44.95
Your Price: $25.99
You save 42%

Thanks for taking the time to comment, I am planning on changing the button set
Before I go live. The layout well that’s another story I think it goes well with the
Portal section of the site so I will stay with it. Anyway thanks again.
