Large images... and they didn't load properly on the top banner...
I'm using Firefox...

*update, they fixed themselves after loading all the other images*

The page loading is very slow.

Are you selling these products?
I don't see any prices listed...
Wait, nm... clicking components, I didn't realize I was to click another category.
Can I not get detailed information about a product?

I find that text in the product list hard to read.

Too bad CSS and web standards weren't utilized...

1. I've set images width and height attributes.
2. Prices are listed in our currency. RON an LEI. (the font is too small ?!)
3. I have modified the menu to look more "user frendly"
4. Modified font colors on product listing.

Detailed information about products soon will be available, with shopping basket and all that.

About the pictures... I tried to optimize picture sizes, front page is still above 100k. Maybe i'm missing something ?
What is CSS web standards ?! (i'm using CSS)

Thanks.

You are right about the prices... I missed them on the first two pages.
Perhaps because I wasn't expecting "RON" or "LEI"
Is there no dollar symbol that you use? Similar to $...
[I don't know your culture, just use whatever's common in your local stores]

As for Web Standards, I mention that on most of my site reviews.
Web Standards are a way of introducing web developers into using HTML tags for their originally designed purpose... Also steering away from putting presentational information in your markup.

That means not using tables as a design tool, and not using font tags as a visual element [well, not using font at all]

I don't think you've used <FONT> at all, so that's a step forwards.
I did notice you've used stuff like style="font-weight:600"... this might be better as a style class in an external CSS file...
It's worth researching, but not necessary to change it now... just keep it in mind...

I do recommend that you put a DOCTYPE at the top of your document... It looks like you are using HTML4 style coding...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

I then urge you to use the W3C's validator to validate your HTML...
Having valid code helps Google, Screen Readers, and Parsers from interpreting your code.
Definately a good step towards optimizing your site search engine results.

Here's how invalid your code is now...
^ Validated against HTML4 Transitional

Hello, I used the W3C validator to validate my html and css code. I am working on the shopping basked now. I'll keep you updated when everything is in place.

Thanks again for your feedback

Most people don't take my validation suggestions seriously =)
Thanks

I just noticed, good use of meta tags...
Code:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Language" CONTENT="ro">
