    I've just finished a website for a company that I'm heavily involved in and have a financial interest in, [url=http://www.dataworks.com.au]Dataworks Educational Software[/url] (the name is actually Dataworks Australia) but that link is so much nicer for SEO!! :D)

    I've just done a major update today, having recoded every single page and implementing a new design for us.

    Would love some feedback on it. We're a wholesaler, so the site isn't aimed at the end comsumer but other companies looking to either sell educational software in Australian and New Zealand, or to purchase it (for themselves to onsell - our reseller network is over 400 companies).

    The layout looks nice and simple but I didn't navigate through the whole thing

    Is it hosted in Australia?

    Yeah it is. Solely aimed at the Australian and New Zealand market, though overseas company wishing to sell their titles in Australia will have an interest in it as well.

    Well that's why it's slow for us then. I think the site looks great!

    Yeah takes way too long to load, you should fix that.

    I'll see what we can do about the load time. I may have to tweak the graphics as a server / host change isn't an option for us.

    Cheers for the feedback so far guys :)

    It only takes long to load because it's hosted so far away - I'm sure in Australia it works just fine.

    It loaded quick this morning when I first took a look at it, but yes, it's crawling slower than Martha Stewart after being slaughtered by Donald Trump.

    Great, simple site. One thing that I was going to suggest, which it looks like you might be working on, is the over state of the press button. It was a little messed up this morning. Also, on one of the pages the first button, Search, switches to Resellers, and I'm not sure why. You should just add the Resellers button to every page so it's there all the time.

    So yeah, very cool site. Get a new host and it'll be even cooler. Good job buddy.

    Yeah this is something I'm working on at the moment. The states of the rollovers change, and the graphics for the Press is actually completely different type of rollover to the others (which are just simple highlights). Good bit of feedback about the order switching, this is something I hadn't considered :)

    LOL....That is hilarious. Martha shouldn't have tried to use him as a scapegoat but i'm sorry, Donald went waaay overboard.

    Ok. Back to business. I had no clue the percieved slowness was a result of you hosting in Australia. That being said i've checked it out again.

    Fairly easy to navigate. Clean simple layout. I hope Eric is right and it loads fast over there. Only issue I have is that the opening icon and top navigation menu reminds me of Windows XP or some other very familiar program/software. Kind of unoriginal. Other than, the site looks good!

    The layout and specially the draws of the top looks very nice!
