Have been working on adding some things that may be of use to you. I particularly want to highlight a special price on a cook kit that has a titanium pot, titanium windscreen, and choice of stove. The whole shebang is less than 6 ounces, including a stuff sack.

If you just want a great titanium windscreen, I've got those too. All the details at www.QiWiz.net

Your site is confusing and awkward. Maybe you have good products but I could not find them. I am saying this to hopefully help

It might tempt me into trying an alcohol stove finally!

I'm not an expert at website construction, my fault. I do the best I can with the skills I have. But here are the direct page references you can paste into your browser:

For the complete kits:

For windscreens:

For everything else - the left side of each page has navigation links that take you to other pages in the site.

For myself, it's not the website construction at all, but the how you have laid out the information/descriptions/titles/options of your products. KISS

eg, the woodburner page is just too wordy up front, and not clear and simple about the otions - e.g. your drop down buying list has options on the front page which aren't clearly explained without bouncing around the website gleaning info. It needn't be so hard/take so long.

(might be just me, but the font colours hurt my eyes!)

Your woodburning stove with the door option looks great though.

cheers

Appreciate the comments and specific suggestions. Always hard to decide if less is more or more is more when it comes to information. I've gone ahead and made the colors more subdued, which should make the viewing less hard on the eyes. I'll have to think about whether I have the energy and skill to take on a more major overhaul. In the meantime, anyone with questions should feel free to contact me.

I actually like the layout of the site. I like how the user navigates on the left pane and the information updates on the right (pretty standard--but that's good)...however, the left pane would be much improved with some uniformity--when you select a button on the left, the whole list changes order and location...if the buttons all stay in place (or at least close...shifting buttons down is fine, but sometimes it affects the buttons on top or some buttons just flat out disappear) and in order it would be perfect.

It sounds like you're already looking into changing the colors...I find the lime green, while easy to read, a bit a little harsh on the eyes. Regardless, I don't see much issue with the color theme you're going with. It pops without being overly obnoxious (I've seen A LOT of bad websites back when I was taking courses on it). I think if you just tone down the green a hair it will be great.

As for descriptions. I love having all the information available but I could see how people looking for information (weight, material, size, boil time...etc) could get frustrated by having to read the whole thing. Might be a good idea to list the specifications to balance this out.

Overall, I really don't think that it's a poorly designed website like the first person commented. The part about the layout on the left pane needing work is the only thing that actually irks me but it's still useable, just a bit frustrating...the rest of my comments are just nitpicking.

Just my two cents.
