Good's.

The layout suits the site.
Even though it's a Template, identified by :
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.dorman.co.ke/templates/system/css/system.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.dorman.co.ke/templates/system/css/general.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.dorman.co.ke/templates/Dormans/css/addons.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.dorman.co.ke/templates/Dormans/css/layout.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.dorman.co.ke/templates/Dormans/css/template.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.dorman.co.ke/templates/Dormans/css/typo.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.dorman.co.ke/templates/Dormans/css/ja.vm.css" type="text/css" />

It may not even be a template except a folder that is a template but in any case, it's well placed.
Considering it's been identified as Joomla, IT'S A TEMPLATE!

it's a good choice on the template.

The drop downs should have a timed return when not hovered on, for example, i hovered over one a minute back and waited for it to go back so i can watch the slideshow but it wouldn't till i clicked. Automate it.

Umm.. Dorman's Sarit is showing me pictures of everywhere except Sarit.. ????oh hey.. there it is.
Ok, so get Dorman's sarit to show first in the slideshow. People who identify with Sarit will know it.

Also, here's something really important that's a valued tip.

In this day and age, the web designer / developer has to extend to a Content writer as well. Or Hire a professional to write content for her / him self.

Bad's.

Optimize
the Graphics.
Get better resolution Logo's.
Constrain Proportions on the Logo's.
Don't put so many Logo's on the site, one is enough.

All in all,

Good job on inputting all that data and furnishing the site well. It's a well done project.

if your friend created it from scratch as in this website is not a template then am glad for him and threatened at the same time, just made me think i need to up my game kidogo guys are catching up

Forward this to your friend:

First the good news

1. Theres a place that says we value your feedback... thats nice, am
giving it, but why is the text area so tiny. It gives the impression you
are
discouraging feedback. Assuming I want to rant and do it in about 1500
words.... that little box is gonna piss me off evn further. Get a bigger
form!

2. The search form on the menu bar is black on black... its totally
invisible. I did not test if it actually works

3. Stop using title tags on your menu links. They are more annoying than
helpful. Besides you ain't getting any bonus points from Google from using
them.

4. The drop down on your menu need work. why does it linger on when you
Mouseout? It is definitely a major obstruction on your pages

5. Under the menu dropdown bottom right, it says Customer Feedback Survey.
Nobody voluntarily likes to take a surey unless there are freebies
attached to it. If there are no freebies then you better make that an
In-your-face feature and let the user opt-out. Otherwise I can guarantee
you that link will never be clicked in-turn making it garbage especially
with the fact that there is no survey going on.

6. Theres a section on the homepage that says "Keep Check for Upcoming
Events", okay.. "No current events. Click to go Back"... Go back where? to
google? or the refereing site?.. Why add "Read more" where there are
cleary no events?

7. Only show links with active information eg in situations 5 and 6 above

8. Put a margin around the thumbnails on your homepage and other pages


The bad news

9. In your shopping cart you've got me to the point of placing an order,
So why is there a link taking me away from that goal and telling me to ask
a question abou this product.... Hellooooo am on the Internet, you do not
want to loose me, I may never come back... The worst thing some products
have no info at all, try putting product information first then if I am
not satisfied I will ask

10. In the cart I am being asked to agree to terms of service...
unfortunately there are no terms of service configured on this website

11. What are the policies on user information. You seem to be collecting
user information right?

12. Why does an e-commerce site operate with unsecure pages? Get a SSL cert.

13. Why does this site email me my open username and password in clear
readable text in the same email address? This tells me that chances are my
password is also being saved in plain text. Woe to me and the billion
other Dorman users if this database is hacked.

14. Why does the checkout page have a title that reads "The Sarit
Center"????? Was this website copy pasted from Sarit Center's website? I
dont even want to know

15. Why am I being told the minimum number of packets I can buy for
Dormans Supreme Instant Coffee is 864 and you give me the option to type
in 1. shouldnt you fix that in your form?... Then again arent you putting
me in Shit with customs when I have to explain why am trying to bring in
864 pkts of instant coffee from Kenya without a license?

16. The registration form needs validation. I put in an out of state zip
code and it went through... there goes my order of $8000 worth of coffee
to an unknown location

17 Dont you think users should know which payment methods they can use? I
went through the whole order process only to be slapped with a Purchase
order as the only means of payment???? I have to admit. This is the first
time I have seen this on a website

Bonus: why dorman.co.ke and not dormans.co.ke?

Very nice, I like the loads of detail on the drop down main.

The content should include a menu so we can see whats available and costs.
Perhaps also a pic of the various outlets like Java have done.
