We just rolled out another one...

It doesn't matter if you do all the error checking in the world, or if you have the most beautiful graphics, if your site or application design isn't usable, it's not going to do well. Get input and advice on usability and user interface issues here.

It may just be me, but it seems like the logo and the links at the top-right are a bit out of place -- there's no distinctive header area, and I guess it makes the page seem a bit unorganized and hard to navigate. You might also make the pagination links a bit bigger -- I might miss them if I wasn't paying attention; it's also difficult to distinguish the current page from the links. </brutal> The colors are great! :D

design looks nice, info arch is terrible - too many navigation menus, not enough user direction. Adding to the cart gives no feedback... neat slider thingy at the bottom

I agree with the comment about the header. There needs to be some sort of division underneath it to separate it from the page content. Otherwise it looks excellent :)

I liked the sliding gallery at the bottom of the page but when I saw the "javascript:;" in the status bar I instantly wondered what might happen if I disable JS. It looks great without the JS too. Good work! :)

Heh - I think the header is separated enough. You've got the title & breadcrumbs there between the header stuff & the main body - seems pretty clear to me.

A pretty good site. I had to poke around for a while before I found anything to have issue with. The issues I did find:
  • The "Information" links seem out of place at the bottom there. Perhaps get rid of the 'Home' link as it's already got 2 links on almost every page.
  • To that end - the breadcrumbs should be on absolutely every page. They're missing from the Glossary page & every page accessible from the top navigation row.
  • The 'y' in 'Quality' in the header slogan is looping down into 9. Since that's the only descending letter in the slogan, I'd suggest trimming it a bit.
Like I said - a pretty good site.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
