    Hi everyone!

    I just launched this site today, and would love to know what you all think!

    This is my first serious attempt with WP theme customization, not to mention all the other bells and whistles that went into it. I built this theme up from the ground, using XHTML + CSS, hand-coded. There are also several plugins being used, one of note in particular is the WP e-Commerce plugin which required heavy customization it it’s own right.

    Very nice design! The shopping cart element works very well too, good job!

    Thank you! I think I can work on speeding up the site a bit… but the design and bells and whistles took priority a little bit 🙂

    Man, that shopping cart was one of the most tedious parts of the whole thing!

    Wow! Very impressive. I love the design.

    Like you said you’re going to work on speeding it up on first load, which is the only major problem I see.

    thanks for the feedback everyone.

    Update:
    I have been able to significantly improve the speed and performance of the site. In large part due to w3-total-cache, with the help of YSlow and Google PageSpeed

    Now to optimize from the marketing perspective!

    Respectable work, especially if the design was done from scratch. Good job.
