Well, it is sometimes. But it would be much better, if you replaced
href=javascript :; with urls from the dropdown, if they are same. Would
make much more sence. If they aren't same, I was unable to notice. And
having two different navigation systems for same hierarchy of links is
very strange and unintuitive.

Well, clients don't complain in Internet when site is obviously wrong.
They either try to fix it in their end, or go away. And when fixing
problem in client side page by page may be impossible for 80% of people,
or even more. (of course, it might work good enaugh in first place, but
why take risk, when none is needed)

No, I mean those images that have those dropdown menues, on right on
dropdown field. They have that stupid javascript:... links instead of
real.

Some white space that is there whitout reason and makes my window scroll
horizontally.

If you happen to have no-good connection, it is usefull to only load
necessary images. And of course bunch of other reasons others allredy
mentioned.

xx-small would be, unless I had minimum font size. (spotted from your
CSS) People that buy sheds are often older folk, without good vision, let
alone skill to make font bigger. If you think normal font size is too
big, change your browser setting.

About all images with text exept heading. (heading was nice)

Did you try it on low end screen, with 72dpi? You have nearly no anti
aliasing. Of course they are so small that you can't see difference in
high end stuff. That is other problem, there is no way to zoom images
that are too smal to read. (or, to be correct, they will look ugly when
zoomed)
As better anti-aliasing is about only reason to have text in images, I
think you shoudl use text instead.

It's unnecessary and bad habit to add full reply under reply.
