Just forget the validation for the time being. You have serious
useability issues.

You can start with navigation. You should have clear consistent
navigation on all pages. Make it nearly the same on every page and put
it either at the top or along one side, never in the middle. You should
never have pages that have no way of getting to the rest of your site
without backing up.

Then reduce the clutter, and finally emphasize what you want to sell.
Why should a clock and figurines take up most of the initial visible
space on a page about cakes?

Start over. Christ, you're an Italian. Think elegant design. Don't
think MySpace.

Ciao,
Jeff
