1. I'd say that the shopping logic is the wrong way round: let the punter
build up an order, then log in to an account at the end to process it. I
also don't think the page with all the buy now entries on it works - too
long. I would have tried further, but I'm not adding my details to a site
I'll never use (:

2. Upgrade to at least xhtml.

3. Prettify your html: it'll make it easier to see obvious mistakes ( 2
favicons? ). Get rid of this session id that you're passing all over the
place - it's not necessary. Use of (more) session variables will make it
much cleaner. Standardise on the position of your login box.

4. Visit http://validator.w3.org and http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator

5. You could do with a proof reader. I picked up on a number of 'word
,next' grammar errors, and I'm not too sure whether the language is
English or American. Always a problem for those of us here in godzone (:

HTH,

Steve
