New Website for Custom Desktop Computers - Comments/Critique Please

[bnzelener]

Hi Everyone,
I've just put my new website online. I bought the template on Theme Forest, but I've customized it in many ways to fit my needs.

The website is BNZ Computers. I'm using it to sell my Custom Built desktop computers. The customize pages have not been developed yet, but most of the main pages are working. I'm trying to capture a professional tone with this site, so I'd like to see what people think of it in that aspect.

I'd really appreciate your comments and critique, so if you have a moment, please take a look at the site.

Thanks,
Brennan

A bit plain isn't it?
How about some graphics in the header?
A picture of a machine or graphics in the dark brown box??
You can get some cheap stock images from dreamstime.com

Thanks,
I've been trying to think of a solution for that space in the brown box header.

What kind of image would you suggest?

An image of a machine just doesn't seem relevant for some reason. Maybe I should take some more pictures of the Base-Line computer and maybe I should go all out and make a logo for the site.

Hmmmmmm.....

Maybe something abstract - check this image Royalty Free Stock Vector Art & Illustrations: Abstract Vector Background | iStockphoto.com
I'm not saying this is the image you should use, probably something a little more toned down, with a large space of black so your text will still sit nicely.

something more like this - Royalty Free Stock Photo Image: Abstract background | iStockphoto.com
It would add some colour - maybe you could photoshop your top of the line computer in with it to make it a feature pannel. Check the HP.com and you can see how they have used some abstract image in the background to feature their product

I really like the second image. I just don't know how I would go about implementing it in the site design.

Thanks!!

I'm a new developer, so there are probably a large amount of errors in my code. I'll fix all of the ones detected by W3's Markup Validation - Thanks for letting me know!

I remember looking at this on another forum. I like the template. It almost doesn't look like one.
