Your site definetly caught my eye as soon as it loaded. The large graphic in the middle of the page gives balance to everything and brings it all together. Navigation was relatively simple, my only suggestion would be when you click on a sidebar item, instead of the "quick links" page appearing, just go directly to the product listings. Your page has a nice, consistent theme, and all the images are placed well. A quick Google search of Elegant Underwear brought your page up first, so congratulations on that. However, when I searched in Yahoo, your page was not listed in the first ten results. Overall, you have a wonderful page, my only suggestions are get rid of the quick links pages, and work on your Yahoo ranking.
I hope this review was helpful, good luck with your website!

Thanks for the input!
Can we talk about the "Quick Links"? I know that some categories have them a Quick Link and some don’t; eventually all will have a quick link. Our reason? To narrow ones’ search for a particular product. Each category will have a “View All” link so that one can view all products if they wish to do so. So the question is, is that too much (to have a quick link) or just list all products in that particular category? I understand the fewer clicks the better but we want to also provide the “Quick Links” so that you can find what you are looking for quickly.
Thanks for the info on google.com; I’m not too sure why on yahoo we don’t come up yet using the key word elegant underwear? Weird.
Thanks,
Tanya

Your site is not being properly indexed by the search engines. Google only sees 3 pages as of now and considers 2 of them to be such close duplicates of the first that it won't even display them.
You need a title and meta description for each page that is unique to that page and related to the page content.
You need to make sure that each meta keyword (if you opt to use them at all) can be found on the page. Keywords don't help much these days but they can certainly hurt.
Use the W3 Validator http://validator.w3.org/ to check the code on some of your pages and correct the errors it finds. This should help your rankings quite a bit when done in combination with the title/description changes.

Newtvail,
Thanks for the info about the meta tags. We’ve been toying in this fact about meta tags and how to better our code and our search engine rankings. We’ve re-tune our meta tags so that it dynamic and follows the content of the page. Hopes that helps us; still on the fence with what we are using. We’ll see how it goes.
As far as the validation goes from w3.org, we are aware of the errors it produces and working to fix them.
Thanks for your help!

Your site looks good to me. As any site, it could use some improvements.
(As far as the validation goes from w3.org, we are aware of the errors it produces and working to fix them.)?? WHY ?? Who is w3.org? Some private program designed to make people conform to what THEY think a site should be??
Run some big name high dollar sites thru that (w3.org) and see what you come up with for errors. Try the sites for these companies: Home Depot, ATT,and Compaq.
MANY errors, but they are still ranked,still online, still getting visits.
You can to! Make your site quick, simple and easy for your target audience, and wait.

Thanks activesportsman! That's a breath of fresh air. You wouldn't believe how many other forums people have said about w3.org and the errors that we have. I'm not even too sure if we need to worry about this like you said. Everything appears to be fine as far as both Firefox and IE 7.0 goes. Anyhow, I do appreciate everybody’s input; right now we are concentrating on marketing and bring in more sales.

If all site content was like that I would become a proffesional website reviewer. After some training of course.
A couple of things I noticed. Stockings and Plus sizes show no pictures in my mozilla browser (although im not sure if im up to date or not).
