The laptop GIF in the header should have a transparent background
(and why is it a link to the page you are already on?).

The background colour is ugly... oh, you didn't set one, and I see
my ugly default.

All the other pictures should have transparent backgroundsm too.

The product pages are too wide for my browser window:

Your web site scares me!

Okay, tell me this. Do you shop online? I do, a lot. Probably 80% of
everything I buy is online - including weekly food shops and clothes! I
would not shop on a site that looked like this. Would you? There is not
a single hint of security (pretty imported if you expect a customer to
pay online), the design is very inconsistent. The shop doesn't appear to
work at all.

Go take a look around at other people with online shops. Apple.com, for
example - their site is not rocket science, the shop is very simple to
use and could be very easily copied (functionality wise).

People are generally scared of technology they don't understand -
blasting someone with the technical spec like
http://www.kcomputersolution.com/bu...oductid=kcs1221 will scare
off any new computer users. Take a look at www.dell.com and their online
shop. They mask most of the tech specs... the average user simply
doesn't care and doesn't need to know. "Ideal machine for the internet"
is more likely to get a sale to a housewife looking for a computer than
a page of technical specification. Have the tech spec there, just not so
in-your-face.

The site over-all feels pretty unfriendly... more like a draft of a site
than the completed thing. Go take a look at the sites I mentioned;
copying their basic layout and adapting it to your own business could
generate a LOT of business.

How about noting all the errors on the page(s)?

<http://validator.w3.org/check?verbo...solution.com%2F>
"Failed validation, 97 errors"

You also need to remove the HTML from your style sheet.

Would I shop there? No.

Want a newbie's perspective?

The site looks cheap and put together with either A) really crappy website
building software or B) good software that the builder didn't know how to
use correctly.

Like others have stated, I wouldn't not buy from your site, unless you had a
store in my town and you were using the site to promote your store and your
products. Then I might go into your store to actually have a look around and
see what's up.

But mostly your site looks like something you would see when a person is
selling "used" computer items from their home.

Like someone else said, have a look the dell or apple websites. These sites
are very clean a professional looking. I am in the same boat right now, by
the way, trying to make something very professional looking in order to
attract clients to try our services. They won't even bother to email me if
the site looks like garbage. I'm working with NVU with limited success. And
I don't think I will be able to produce the end result that I want with this
WYSIWYG editor/webpage builder.

Mark.

Hmmm, well it's all about working with the medium really.
The web is not paper, you need to design your site so it's flexible.
Regarding the OP's site, it's got way too much jargon (techical
stuff).

ve. Then have a link on each page that has all the tecie info on it so people can find all that out if they want.
