Howdy Sam,
Sorry, but you've created a Java Script disaster. The first thing people
will do is grab the scroll bar and get your dizzy banner off the screen.
Then they will notice that trying to use the Java menu sets the banner to a
grey panel. Your tiny font statement of what a nice guy you are won't get
noticed and they will probably leave at that point.
Google will index "Uniross Sprint mains and car charger with 4 2300NiMh
batteries." instead of your "We pride ourselves in stocking only high
quaility Duracell" statement. {Double check your spelling!}
Fancy Gimmicks do not sell products. There is no justifiable reason for any
Java script on your home page.
Hit <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.bizynet.biz/Splash.htm" target="_blank">http://www.bizynet.biz/Splash.htm</a> as an example. I'll admit it's a
sales pitch but I know the styling works from many profitable sites and it
explains itself fairly well. Any fancy stuff to set the mood goes on the
Splash.htm page. Then it gets out of the way and lets the customer
concentrate on who you are and what you can do for them. If they like that
and a few specials, THEN they go check out your catalog.
Thanks, Chris <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.bizynet.com" target="_blank">www.bizynet.com</a> and <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.bizycart.com" target="_blank">www.bizycart.com</a>
