    I like the concept and design very much.  I can`t quite put my finger on it, but the page seems a little too bright.  A more muted shade of white for the background, darker text, or a little more color on the background might help.For your checkout process, I would like to see PayPal as an option.  For relatively unknown sites, I feel more comfortable paying through PayPal instead of giving out my credit card number.  Also, I would prefer providing my phone number be optional instead of required.  You may not have any control over those features since Yahoo provides the store service.I really like the product line.  Keep up the good work.

    Looks great to me.I don`t believe it. This is the 3rd out of 4 sites I`ve looked at tonight that look great.I`ll reserve my comments on the checkout process. All I was looking at was the design.

    Couple of suggestions Pazit - within the image <img> tags in your site code, you can add the attribute "alt", which allows you to describe the image in question.  That text will pop up when someone hovers over the image, it also gives search engines something to chomp on when they`re spidering your site - it`s good practice to include that for all images, especially those great products.And because I can`t get off images, I noted that quite a few rendered somewhat pixelated; looks like the image size is the same as the coded size, so it might just be a matter of reformatting some of the pictures, but it makes the site look less professional.And I might be echoing some other comments, but a bit more of a text title or description for items when you`re browsing them would be helpful.  Pictures don`t always tell the full story, and I found myself wondering if I`d want to stick around as a consumer if I knew I had to click open every product that remotely interested me in order to get some better idea of what it was all about.

    Thank you so much for taking the time, looking at the site and providing a
    constructive critique. I must say, I am new to startupnation and very
    impressed of how powerful a tool this site is and how helpful it can be to
    small business like mine.

      I like the modern clean design.  I would add a phone number at the top of every page and maybe user reviews on individual products and tell a friend feature.  Also on the product images. Would it be possible to seryproducts/nfTAoibo.html
    have the images when clicked on to become larger show in the same screen instead of opening up a new page?
      I really like it as a consumer it is not intimidating at all.  If you plan on using Google Adwords you might want to consider using there Google Checkout as they are offering free processing on all orders through Dec. 31.  Once that is over however for every $1 you spend in adwords you get $10 in free processing charges.  Which I think would help you out w/ your big ticket items. 
    Hope this helps,
    Tom
