Hiya Jessica,

Love the look, very nice setup and well done use of the CC programs. I do have a couple things to bring to your attention though.

One is a suggestion to add a menu to each of your pages, right now none of the pages other than the home page have any navigation on it that I could see to get back to the home page or any other page. I love how you setup your menu with the circular images, nice job, and I would suggest you add that to each of your pages so that it's fluid in it's looks and of course has navigation from page to page that way.

The other is a concern about using the Form Builder for collecting monetary information such as Credit Card numbers and such. I know your site says "secure", but if it is, can you share what you are using to make it secure for your purchasers? And if it's not, then you are really subjecting your customers to very insecure transactions. I don't know how it's done to be honest, I just know that usually using the Form Builder for sending credit card information is definitely not secure, but as I said, I don't know what measures you may have taken to make the transactions secure outside of the form itself. I just know the form is not a secure way to transact and I'm sure you want it to be so for your customers. :)

Jo Ann, I think that https rather than http indicates some type of secure settings...
But I agree about the navigation. Sometimes clicking the logo would send me to the contact page and sometimes back to home. Going back to home is what's normal for a logo-link. A main menu at the top of each page would be nice rather than having to go home between each page. You could do something with smaller circles to keep the home page theme going.
It's looking good - I like it much more than the original site, and the blog makes it feel more like I'm shopping at a neighborhood store...very nice! :)

On the up side your choice of colors is good for the vision impaired,

The contrast between your background and text color could be improved a little. ;-)

Good job all in all.

yes, the https represents a secure server.

Some Random Dude needs a Major Random Ego check. Site looks good. Keep toying with it. Maybe some shadows or some outer glows, just little bits. Page transitions are a nice touch. Just needs a little depth. Load time suprised the $%&^ out of me. Great job.
