I am close to being finished building my LDS website and would like feedback.
What I have built is all database drivin and editable from any browser in the backend (even the welcome messsage). Once I get the bugs out and running smooth, all I have to do to make it work for another dive shop is change the name/contact info in the database and the page template. My LDS wont retail online (except hats and shirts etc...) but it has a full store built in to it.

It also has a student and trip manager (not seen by the public) which keeps track of student signups and trip signups for each class/trip and payment status. It also has a mass mailer built in to send mail from the server to the mailing list which you can add yourself to on the main page.

Be honest. I am tough and want this to be really good before I roll out the features to "paying" customers... I did this one for a wetsuit, a new gun and a couple of classes... This is my test site.

killer job

Great site, works well in multiple browsers (I checked in IE and Firefox). My only comment would be: Too many intro pages. I normally dislike even one intro page, since they rarely contain the information I'm looking for. You have two pages I have to click through before I find what I'm looking for. Granted, they're fairly lightweight (no flash, etc), but they're still unnecessary.

Just my 2 cents, it's still nicely done, with or without the intro pages.

Very nice. Looks solid. The drop down at the top of the page stating "Service", "Knowledge", and "Selection" had me curious. It was like one of those gag pages where you try to click on it and it moves out of the way. You will keep people on the page for hours trying to see if they can click fast enough to catch the text.

Thanks for the feedback. It helps a bunch.

Very nice webpage.
The only thing that I didn't like was the intro page. I'm with SeaPlusPlus, I don't like intro pages no matter how good they look.
Other than that, everything seems to work fine. I tried it with IE on a PC & Mac.

Looks great! The only thing I noticed is that the flash only worked for me in IE and not firefox. Am I the only one having that problem? Other than that, look really good.

Thanks again. I will figure out the Flash issue this weekend. It is flash 7 and maybe should use an earlier version... The "real" flash banner should be done this weekend, that is just a placeholder.
