Hello Alex,
I concur with the previous posters but would like to add a couple of points worth considering.
Rounded corners look good if all your boxes have rounded corners, as the mix looks somewhat half finished - I read a post on these forums the other day about rounded corners, which prompted me to do a Google on the subject to find out if there were any new techniques, I found a very nifty CSS method that did not use images for the corners and might be worth experimenting with , as I believe Joomla makes much use of CSS.
The
Google search I used.
The no image CSS method from
Nifty Corners.
The PayPal information may look better if you added a line break <br> after each sentence to break up the paragraph and make it easier to read.
This, I find, is a common fault on sites (and forums) that try and include as much information in as small a space as possible, which in effect defeats the object of providing this information in the first place if it it hard to read - visitors will just skip over it.
A web site is not like the printed equivalent, which has defined sentence/paragraph standards, but more emphasis is placed on displaying your information in such a manner that it can be easily read at a glance or by speed reading - visitors are usually in a hurry and will leave or simply skip reading anything that takes more than a couple of seconds to scan.
In your PayPal info you could also include the buyer protection offered by PayPal, which can often sway a doubter into pressing the buttons or even a link to the PayPal page that displays that info.
Overall, the site looks good and with a little tweaking will reflect the quality and professionalism you wish to portray - incidentally this tweaking is a never ending chore when trying to achieve perfection.
I did not progress from your index page as my time for reviewing is limited.
I wish you good luck and success in your e-business web site venture, a most rewarding experience, in particular if you can have your site show on the first page of a keyword search using current and effective SEO - another major subject entirely.
My tip here is to register at the Google web site, login and find the
WebMaster Tools which will help with having the correct
XML SiteMap, also a
verification code meta tag to add to the head section of your index page - Google looks for both, as well as a functional
robots.txt file, when it spiders your site and they will give you feedback if things are not quite right.
Regards,
Rocky
