Thanks for the feedback everyone!
The shopping cart is from Mal's E-commerce (
www.mals-e.com). It's the easiest and cheapest cart I've found (free! although on that particular site we're paying for the premium version at $6.95/mo). It's actually quite robust if you have the skills to pass everything to the cart correctly.
KC, our lowest common denominator as far as audience was notebook users on a 600x800 display, so we had to make sure it worked for them. Making the site and content scale to fill the window depending on screen size just wasn't in the budget. Not much was in the budget, actually.
That also explains the lack of interactive features, although to be fair, it's a start-up e-commerce site and until they find out if they can actually get people to buy anything, the initial investment needs to be kept low.
I will pass the comments on the design to my partner in crime, who actually did the design layouts. I just made it all work.
FYI, on the back end the client has the ability to edit just about everything you see there, apart from a few of the static content pages (shipping, about us, etc).
Wine, what do you have in mind?
