Pineapple - Hi

how are you? hope your well.

i had a look at the site...and it does need a lot of work. where do we start, seo wise? accessability wise? or look and feel? mmm... i would say lets think of people before the engines right.. these are my thoughts in order of importance:

- the link colours (currentlu dark blue) on the blue background make it very very difficult for us visitors to see. I would recommend a very light, faded shade of blue ? or white? font colour. play a round and see what goes best with it.

- i found the page very very colourful..its scarey.. you really need to tone it down a bit. use softer colours. the orange is very strong, and has an impact on the eyes as using red colours. red = aggressive, danger and really its making it very difficult to concentrate.

i would recommend either keep the orange colour as it is, BUT remove the blue colour of the background for the content area to white.. or do something about the orange

- left a lign ur content text (makes it more professional)
- (action stations) <--- is this a keyword?

i noticed that on every page, ur titles are small. these need to be made bigger.

- titles should be enclosed in <h1> tags for SEO reasons
- by having the background in white for your content, the images will stand out more and the text will be read more easily.

- for appeal, you could have a double or single border around ur images..

- the links for (more details) and (add to cart) under each product need to be in hover over effect + need to have a different font colour.

i hope am not sounding harsh..honestly i am trying to help.

good luck and let us know how it goes.

thanks
T

ps: get ur keywords into your links
