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.
Site doesn't open without the www.
