Two Knifemakers, One new Company: Downeast Knife Company

I think there's a reason black on white is the standard. :)

The green is as much of a contrast problem for me as the brown was. Maybe if you upped the font size.
 
What's the color now, dark green? Not bad. I can read across a line in the center of a paragraph without losing it.

Please realize, you're up against a serious test here: my vision is poor and it's late at night. If I can read it, anyone can. :p

I often increase the page magnification. With my Internet Explorer 7, it's a button in the lower right, very easy to click to 125 or 150%, and a big help for me. I don't expect the websites themselves to use large type.
 
Question:

What screen resolution are most of you on.
I have it set up to accommodate 800x600 because many people still on dial-up tend to have smaller screens and resolutions.

I am considering making the Shopping Cart a bit wider at around 900 to allow for less scrolling down through the item list. Will that force too many people to have to scroll left and right to view the text of the cart?

Thoughts?

12pt font is okay, but you'll probably have a much happier audience using 14-15pt. One good metric is that any given line of text should have somewhere around 8-14 words on it. If you don't want to do that, you may consider adding a little more space between the lines of text (make the spacing 1.5x instead of singlespaced) which tends to make text more readable.

Other than that, it looks pretty good. You may consider running it through the W3C validator a couple times, because it's not currently conforming to the spec you've got in the doctype tag, but since it renders fine, it's just something you may want to think about (as a way of tidying up when you're done your work).

Don't want to turn it the thread into a technical thread (though I did ask for opinion.. ;)) and steal Scott and Lamonts thunder.. but yea.
I have to use a couple different editors depending on where I am and each treats code differently. I ran the validator yesterday now that we are pretty much down to needing production pictures, but most of the things it picked up were nitpicky. It renders consistently in IE, FF, and NS.. a feat in itself for a hack like me. ;)

Guess I am used to 12px, Looks so big to have 14x at 1024x, but enough people have said it.
DONE! 14px
 
Shopping CART now simplified.
On choosing the Knife Package, you can designate your BASIC options in the cart without having to navigate back to add $0.00 cost items.
You do still have to add to your shopping cart any Upgrades and/or Services.

Enjoy.
 
Shawn, I just went on a tour of the site again. It looks very good, very legible.
The contents look good, too!
