It looks good to me, the only thing I would say is that in the header there seems too much whitespace left and right. Maybe you should fill the left with a bit more of the black (left of the 'search this site').


Best of luck with it and post up when it's live

The animation in the header image distracts me.
I presume you want people to look at your products

Agreed Blacknight, Do you think a static image or change the speed of the rotation would work?

Call me old-fashioned, but I'd go with a static image or maybe one of those random jobbies that loads a different image each time the page loads.

The animation is just distracting.

im inclined to agreed, rotating images distract.... I'll use the random image idea.... What do you think of the colour scheme?

The colours look ok.

I'd be a lot more concerned about the overall layout and navigation.

The "special" should be given a lot more emphasis and you should try to "lead" visitors to the things that you want them to see

Good stuff, do you need the sitemap link twice though?

I like the layout, it's nice and clean. A few pointers though:
  • The rounded corners can be fairly messy to achieve with CSS. I'd be inclined to ask yourself if they're necessary. If you're prepared to put the effort in though, have a look at Nifty Corners Cube.
  • As was already said, the masthead animation is far too distracting with all the motion. I'd be inclined to make it more subtle. By all means use Flash but do it 1) unobstrusively with alternative content and 2) maybe just have some subtle animations, text transitions, etc.
