Constructive Criticism
Database could be integrated a better and be more aesthetically pleasing
Cannot see the more info button very well
I like the way the site looks and feel, it looks very professional. Easy to get around and find what you are looking for.
It was very well presented and it was a very good way to go around the site
This site could have provided more information on the item that is purposely for sale.
The price for pens is even beyond "executive". The order form part could look more like the rest of the site or cleaner.
good navigation but lose the javascript
the logo on the right is too long
Too many links on the main page.
The search was on to many pages
you should test for javascript capability using the browser capability component.
Too many graphics floating in Home and other pages. It slows down the page a little alot.
this site is awesome! the information provided is clear and concise. the order form is perfect.

Overall a good design that sets an appropriate tone. Consistent look and feel throughout nearly all pages. Follows good site and page design principles. Project proposal was ok, but could have been more fleshed out to show the depth of your analysis.

Perhaps the graphics could be smaller and/or more optimized, but assumably your client community would have broadband connectivity.
Client Javascript errors in Order form when using Netscape 3.04.  Whenever you use client-side Javascript, you MUST test on all major browsers you intend to support, and provide alternate pages or options for others. Most users don't understand the difference between client-side and server-side errors, and will immediately leave a commerce site when they receive ANY kind of error.
While "fun" presentations can be effective, your presentation was a bit disorganized and "off-the-cuff".
On your product graphics, consider using the TITLE attribute for additional information (i.e., tool tip) and reserve the ALT  for a real description of the product -- then people with graphics off for slow connections or handicaps will know what the graphic is.
Broken link to "Specials" on site map.
Project documentation should have spent more time explicitly defining the target audience and their goals. Project documents should be more than a bunch of tables. Should provide explanation and show that real analysis of the issues were conducted.
