Review my website again

[Iris601]

Hello, I had posted my website about 2 weeks ago asking for comments
of how I could better my website. We have worked very hard to
organize our website and have made changes to our shopping cart. We
tried to make it a little more user friendly. Please review my site
and let me know what you think. I may have a little links that might
not work, but when I find it, I try to fix it right away. We had
frames, and I've taken them all away.

- Always keep a link to the homepage on any given sub-page.
- Don't completely switch the colors from front- to sub-page
- Make sure there's no dead links like
http://www.enishop.com/mens/B_Men.html
- Have a professional design the page, or keep it to minimalist design.
The background, logo etc. look too amateurish. No problem except you're
trying to make people trust you to give their money to you.
- Get rid of hobby page signs like counter and link exchange
- You need to give your personal information (name, location) in the
"Contact" page.

Anything positive?

Thank you for your response...it's needed. When you are referring to
the doctype, are you referring to the <meta name...> that you are
mentioning below. I've heard of a doctype, but I'm not familiar with
that.

Could you let me know what images that you came across so that I can
fix those? I will be also adding where the user can click on the
picture and they see an enlarged picture as well. I know how to do
that as a popup window, but the last time I did that, the pop-up
window filled up the entire screen, instead of 25% of the screen.

Ok, what is a depracted markup? What is wrong with my font tags?

I am a seasoned Visual Basic/Access Programmer of 5 years now, but I'm
striving to understand HTML, CGI/Perl, XML, etc.

A doctype is a DTD declaration. For example, for HTML 4.0
Transitional, you have this at the head of the page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
Ok, what is a depracted markup? What is wrong with my font tags?

Deprecated means, to be avoided if you are working according to a
standard. All use of <FONT> tags is deprecated as of HTML 4.0. If you
want to mark a font face or colour or size, use Cascading Style Sheets
(CSS); preferably a master file separate from the HTML files (such as
"main.css"), or as part of the markup in the HTML file. For example,
for a whole paragraph in red, you do:

<p style="color: #FF0000">

For just one word in red, you do:

<p>
This word is in <span style="color: #FF0000">red</span>
</p>

To link a stylesheet page (such as "main.css") to your HTML files,
type this in each of your HTML files:

<link rel=stylesheet href="main.css" type="text/css">
