Please review www.cdxsolutions.com for speed and design and rate it from 1-10. Please include why you gave us that rating and what we can do to improve. We are in the process of reconstruction and the site is changing daily.

It looks very nice. The only problems I see with it is the huge white gap next to the logo at the top. I don't know whether you could do anything with it. But it looks a little odd as the page background is also white. Another thing. The text being all images. Although it loads very quickly on my 128k cable I'm not sure if it's the way to go.

The logo, whilst surfing around your site. I think it may be better if it was only animated on the first page, then on other pages perhaps it's just a simple image instead of flash?

The text is distorted on your homepage from your resizing the image, which is only 292 pixels high, to 313 pixels. I question why you chose to make the entire thing an image in the first place. It no doubt made it easier to create, but it hinders search engines being able to pick up the content, not to mention a perspective customer that might want to copy and save your offers to later compare with others'.

I agree that the logo should only be animated on the first page.

Upon clicking a couple of the links in the menu you're taken to a very small submenu on an otherwise blank page, I'd do something about that-- have something be on the page. From the comments in the source about DIVs and Layers I'd assume there's some sort of JavaScript menu, but as I don't see one I'm guessing you failed to realize other browses exist besides IE and Netscape 4.

The "Shop" page is empty, I don't know if it's supposed to be or not.

In terms of speed, I'd say average. Using a 56k modem, it loaded quickly in Mozilla 1.2 and fairly fast in Opera 6 and Netscape 4. I never did manage to reach it in IE 5.

It load fast enough, but as all your text are in images, probably you can split the images so it will load faster. No comment about the flash though, just the same as others above.
