You missed the part about the search engines not reading and executing
JavaScript. To them, it's a blank page(s). Your content will never be
indexed by Google and the others. How will people find you?

What product is that?

"This page is expected to be completed very shortly." appears on quite
a number of pages. You shouldn't have those on the menu until completed.
I also found the minusforty site "confusing for a newbie" with
links/menus on the left, the top, and the right. A well-designed menu
should be all in one spot.
