    Cool New website(advices / comments needed) :)

    i have been working a while on my new website
    http://www.laserwinkel.nl/new/

    old version:
    http://www.laserwinkel.nl

    it is in dutch but i am looking for tips on the code or design. what things would you change ?
    the biggest part of this website is not visible to main users but i'll explain what it has:
    - fully php/mysql programmed
    - news editable trough database
    - webshop automaticly makes invoices and mails to customer
    - invoices are automaticly calculated into my VAT status so no bookholder needed anymore
    - complete stock status (total value, amount of items etc.) that automaticly updates after purchases

    i have been working for a long time on it and coded everything myself because complete webshop packages do not offer the tools that i would need.
    and by doing it myself i learned a few extra things on coding and it would be easier to adjust / edit things when needed because i know the whole code.

    so it is almost finished and now i am looking for comments from users. see things you don't like or things you would do otherwise? please let me know.

    No offence, but I would not be calling myself "The laserspecialist" if I were you...

    There are about 100 people in the netherlands that could call themselves laserspecialist.
    I'm sorry, you are not one of them.

    Showlaser-specialist would be more appropriate (and modest).

    cafe's -> cafés
    meer als -> meer dan
    groote -> grootte (on info page)
    The text on the info page doesn't show completely
    There's some code visible in the shop
    Maybe add "in stock" label (or mention that everything is in stock)
    There is not enough space for the pictures in Foto's

    Just a few things after a quick look. The lay-out looks nice!

    that is correct but people search on laser much more then showlaser when they are looking for projectors.
    this slogan is also in my page title and therefor gets ranked higher in google if i would change it to showlaser it would change my ranking on google and because of that losing potential customers.

    thanks for noticing the misspellings
    what part of the info page are you missing?
    the code in the shop is the php session (used for my own reference to check things) this will be removed once the website goes live.
    the pictures in fotos show ok here or do you mean when going to the bottom of the page?

    I'm using Firefox, and indeed the bottom of the lowest photos are cut off. Maybe you need to improve the code for the scroll bar or something. The same happens for text. For example when I'm in the Info tab, I don't see the bottom part of the text even when scrolled down completely. Maybe something went wrong with the lowest banner with your disclaimer covering up the text?

    thanks for the info. in IE9 it seems to work fine. it probally is an error in my CSS i'll try to find it out right now.
    in the meantime you can check the looks with this website: http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/index.php and select IE9 ^^
