Critique a website

Ok, got this website up and running. Can anyone find anything obvious wrong?

On my to do list:

New pictures on a whiter background

The copyright text at the bottom isnt level.
The CSS of CSS3_simplistic_2 is higher.

The "UK" of "UK Hydraulic Tools" doesnt change colour when the link has been visited, but the "Hydraulic Tools" does.

"Home" is blue, and stays blue because the location has been visited.
Other headings do not stay blue when visited, but they do change to blue when hovered on.

And this is hideous for reading text on.

I've put through a order, you will know it's a test order, and it all seems to work well.

On the online shop page, clicking the 'hydra-pumpvac kit and carry case' picture takes you to this page.

Cheers.

The copyright text is level to me in multiple browsers.

The "UK" of "UK Hydraulic Tools" should stay white and the "Hydraulic Tools" should turn blue on mouseover.
I have just added a "visited" section to the CSS file. May have worked at keeping all links blue.

The 'contact us' form doesn't have any flood control.

Looking at the page, the 'home' button is blue when you are on it, but if you are on the 'about' page the word 'about' goes white and 'home' stays blue.

I suspect this is a case of classes and pseudo classes getting all undergaflumbled. Haven't looked at the css because I'm on my tablet, but if you create a 'menu' class, which includes all those menu items, then target them with

My laptop screen resolution is 1366x768, the same as just under a third of all browser users. Other than the online shop (which is a completely different design and makes you wonder whether you're still on the same company's website), each page is exactly the bloody same except for 2-3 sparse lines on the bottom right, which you have to scroll down to read all of it.

You could easily show the picture much smaller (say, a quarter of the size with a "click here for larger image"), move the "Latest News" to the right of it and have the actual purpose of the page the main focus.

Don't build a site just based on what screen and browser you have in front of you.

Footer copyright text looks miniature (un-readable) on my screen.

Change the font: line from this

The purple header colour isn't working. Try blue (match the top) or some other colour for contrast.

The white text on black background isn't good either, I think you need a more subtle background behind the text.

Apart from that it's not too bad.

I find it hard to read the white text on the stripped background and the header doesnt really stick out much. Maybe try adding a different colour background to the centre of the page or maybe a partly transparent one.

Home is staying white as in your unordered list you've kept class="selected" in home on each page. That needs to be moved to whichever page it is. Does that make sense?

As has been said, try and put a different picture on each page as the users will be searching around to try and find what's changed on the page. I also think the picture is a bit big, but that's just person.

Cheers guys, will have a look at these issues tonight.
