I would use as much of the screen as you can fit the design on without having horizontal scrolling on 800 x 600.
That's a really good call, I think I had it set to 600 wide thinking that the smaller screen resolutions would need to scroll if I made it larger. I musta just gotten the dimension reversed in my head, since obviously 800 wide is what I should be shooting for.
You might also want to add some pages to your site (about, faq, contact, etc).
Oh, I have a FAQ and Help link, but the poster below you says the buttons weren't working for them. So perhaps they didn't show for you either. But yeah, a more elaborate contact and about me page would be good.
I am completely confused by your designs. Some of the strangest that I have ever seen. I guess that's a good thing though. Perhaps there is niche for this sort of thing.
Yeah, I think my market is definitely a niche one, but so far I've been doing a lot better then I expected. Of course I'm not any sort of big player, just a dude with a spreadshirt account, and don't have a marketing budget or anything. But still, It's been really cool so far.
The Abu Ghraib Christmas is brilliant. Id be interested to know if people will actually but it though. Its just so offensive.
Yeah, I've been running the shop for 5 weeks now, and that's one of the designs I've had since I opened. I'm pretty sure it's also the only shirt I opened with that I haven't sold a single copy of. Ironically it's one of the top 3-4 designs I've had visitors compliment me on, but clearly it gives some people a chuckle but no one wants to risk being seen in it. =)
The FAQ and the Help buttons wouldn't work for me (IE6).
Ewww, the buttons not working is bad news... Any idea what might cause that?
I'd mess a bit with your header/button section to create a more integrated feel, imo.
Yeah, I really need to do exactly that. I think my header and assorted links area feel very amateurish, but since I'm an amateur I just haven't figured out how to resolve it better. I'm going to work at it though, I'm sure I'll come up with something.
Thanks for the feedback!
