I have launched this site on 1st Nov. It is about several conditions caused by food, whether allergy or intolerance (I bet you do not know the difference?

).

I hope you like it. Make sure you bookmark it, becuase one day or another you will need to refer to it.

I appreciate any comments especially, constructive criticism... but take it easy, do not make may tummy rumble to much

Well, it certainly looks extremely well-stocked with information, so you're off to a great start there. It loads quickly, it's clearly presented.

If I were to have one criticism, I don't think the appearance lives up to the quality of information. You're doing yourself an injustice! In particular your banner containing the site name looks a little crude, if you're not a designer at heart it might be worth your while shelling out a bit of money to have someone do it for you. Perhaps blend the main body into the page background with a shadow as well or make the difference between the two sharper.

Also, the transition between informational section and the shop section is very subtle...possibly too subtle! I didn't notice when the list of products appeared down the site because it looks exactly the same as the standard menu and appears in the same place. Might be worth looking into that.

Well done, you've obviously put in a lot of effort to start out at the top and it's paid off in first impressions.

I think the way the shop blends in with the information is a good thing. Without knowing the strategy of the site I would say that encourages sales which is the aim of any site design right?

I would agree that just the logo could do with tidying up a little bit, even just some antilias on the blue oval of the logo would make it look a lot smoother.

Something like the attached might be worth trying for the title, just smoothed off with a small shadow.

Thanks for your comments. Yes, I fully agree with the poor status of the logo. Graphics is something I cannot conquer yet. I managed to learn html and css, so now it is time to learn some graphics.

Thanks Matt for the attatchment, I used it on my local files and looks better already. I will try to imitate something similar. I am using Gimp.... so that is another hard nut I need to crack.

Tyger-Tyger, thanks for your observation. I take what you said on board and perhaps that explains why my sales have dipped since I moved from my old web site to this one.
