I haven't gotten any comments in the design critique forum, so I thought that I would post this here.

http://www.barackas.com

Barackas.com is a site that I designed and developed that sells maracas that feature an illustration of Barack Obama. I have designed every conceivable portion of this site, including the illustration and would appreciate some feedback.

It is worth noting that in this situation I do not consider the iFrame to be a problem because I wanted to keep the overall page size down, and allow the main site to load before comments if they get excessive. Also I am not concerned with the comments being index by search engines so this is not a negative point in my opinion.

looks fine. I'm not a big fan of the scrolling. Did you consider a collapsible <div> show/hide comments and show/hide comment form? Just my two cents (other than the total cheeseball, exploitation you have going on there )

Obama's website is good. Its everything that a site should be. Obama's support is overwhelming these days!

Hey,
Like the design, you know I thought about that name a couple of times but never registered it dang. The design looks nice great attention to detail and highlights what you are selling in a fun and positive view. Although the scrolling on the right side does seem off or odd on the page, it would have been better to have added it without a scroll and just let the page extend.

Agree with everyine else - I love the design, colours and the flash animation!! God job!!

Have you tried shrinking the browser in size? The top right hand marackas seem to go a little odd - I assume becuase you have them set as background and then partially overlayed in html file.
