Hey Doyle Thanks for your comments!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I agree with Doyle you made the interface straight forward and easy to
navigate. From a design standpoint i would reccomend getting models
for your caps, limiting the number of caps per page to 15, and
defining further subcatagories. The site is very clean but if you ever
decide to do a redesign take a look at <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.oldnavy.com" target="_blank">www.oldnavy.com</a> and
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.lids.com" target="_blank">www.lids.com</a> You may try imitating thier design style it is a little
more eye-catching. I like the simple clean design that you have but if
you put a little polish on it you may be able to convert more visits
into sales.

and Doyle if you need any help getting your shopping cart up and
running let me know.

Thanks Chapman!
right now we're working on a newer version of www.HatMaven.com.

Thanks A Lot for your responses.

Also we've changed the banner somewhat, we've sliced it.
Does it work better now in terms of loading?

if you are refering to the leebrothers_1772_318918 image at the top of
your site it is still one large image >44k.... i was able to
compressed it to <15k and retained 95% of the images quality.
