"Shiny" but don't take that too literally What I meant is to make sure that people can really see the details of the products and make them want it visually.

The descriptions are ok. Not a fan of the non-bulleted bullet point descriptions on every page. It feels all to lazy or unfriendly. Imagine if you are trying to sell the products face-to-face with someone and you are just giving one-sentence descriptions. You have to imagine yourself as a sales person, unfortunately, and pitch for the products a little better. I know you would rather describe the products without sounding like a sleazy car salesman and that's highly appreciated, but you can phrase or lay out the wording a little better without looking all so straight to the point, "Here's the product, it does this, now buy it."

I hope that makes sense and helps
Makes great sense...I'm trying to "balance" the approach....being a guy and "technical" in mindset it's hard for me to get "touchy feely" (although I cry at movies )

I guess I'll redo the BG graphics to a lighter color.

Done!
