    Not a real review, but it has a nice look.

    I did notice lots of broken or missing links to images, particularly on the links page.

    Yes for me too its really quick.

    If you have speed problems i'd suggest looking at powerdnn.com for hosting. They are pricey, but very very fast.

    I'd up the jpeg quality on the banner you have at the top. It looks a bit grainy. I know people with 56k modems will complain, but they probably complain anyway. I remember reading somewhere you can add some code to your skin to force the server to cache images on the client side, speeding up subsequent loadings.

    Hello Bobby

    In order to help speed up your site, you might try using a third party keep alive facility there are lots of free ones available plus Snapsis PageBlaster:

    Wow, did that take a lot of work?

    I see you have a lot of features such as catalogue, shopping cart, wish list, shop by brand etc... etc...
