A few points re conversion:

- The title graphic looks great, but I am not a fan of title graphics that take up a lot of page height, because it means less content can be shown before the need to scroll. Space before the need to scroll is the most valuable, use it wisely.

- From a conversion point of view, I would move the Pre-Order Chart Top 5 to be the first thing in the right hand column. That should increase your click through rate.

- On the home page, I would maintain two lists, one the next 5 cinema releases, the other the next 5 DVD releases. Put these right at the top of your content, that shows the site is topical and will maintain interest. Use a small image for each list entry showing either the film poster or DVD cover.

- The search box is too easy to miss. Draw attention to it with a big orange search button or similar.

- Finally, learn to convert with these resources:

Hope that helps.

I love the tag area, I thought it was just overlapping at first but as soon as I moved the mouse over the area I was very impressed.

I like the design, just agree with the comment about the header, I am currently reducing the height of most of my sites to increase the viewable info.

Regards

thanks

im going to be getting my designer to reduce the header after christmas. now that weve been working on it a while there are lots of things about the design ergonomics that i need to change to make it more user friendly etc.

thanks for the feedback though - appreciated!
