Hi Paul,

Thanks for posting your site. Del Mar looks like a beautiful spot.

Overall I think the site looks reasonably good, and it also does a good job of selling the products. The layout is fairly uncluttered and easy to navigate.

One oddity is the top-left logo sitting on a line all by itself, with the whitespace to the right of it. Maybe you could try a full-width banner image instead?

It's also slightly odd the way your page background image wraps. It would look nicer if it filled the whole window. I spotted a good trick recently that lets you stretch a background image to fill the whole browser window, whatever the window size:

Also my Firefox blocked the pop-up windows on the photos. I see you're using a JavaScript onmousedown event on the links. Perhaps target="_blank" would work better?

Hope that helps! Let me know if you'd like any more detailed feedback.

Cheers,
Matt

Hi Paul,

Nice website! Personally, think the background image isn't necessary as it distracts from the main page elements. I also got a pop-up blocked (IE). I feel you should also add a physical contact address on your contact page to let visitors know that you have a physical presence where you can be reached. All in all I think you done a good job.

Hope this helps. Wish you the best.

Matt, I finally got around to trying the code to center and "cover" the entire background regardless of screen size. All I did was copy and paste the code into my template stylesheet and it work. Nice! Wish I did this months ago. You're a great resource and I appreciate your efforts. Great tip all.

Thanks to you too, Mauco. Next plan is to rid the popup so popup blockers don't annoy the users.
