Please review and comment on my modified store. I have kept the layout generally to the oSCommerce layout, but have added some mods and made changes. Hoping to achieve an easy experience for users to browse and purchase. I have added small images, but not sure if it is sometimes slow to load or not (especially since I don't have access to dial-up).

Thanks in advance,
Mark

The first thing I would look at is speed:

Warning!: Your loading time is too slow... You are risking search engine time out and loosing 40% of potential viewers!

Nice clean layout. I would also consider looking at some of the different button contributions -- or changing the button set yourself. The stock buttons don't fit real well.

Thanks Matt. I changed my logo from a bmp to a gif, about 1/10 the size. I'll look at the button contributions.
