Description
I was asked to design a light, quick loading store front for an automotive parts distributer. This is what I came up with.Just looking for initial thoughts. I tried to go for something that was easy to navigate and would load especially quick and would be easily portable to various browsers.

Very clean. I think you need to add a 'Store'-link to the top-most navigation. Since on the right sidebar there are some top-sellers featured with a 'Buy Now' link. To my opinion this implies a serious store.
I also liked the use of a gradient for a background, this gives the rather plain design a bit freshness.

Yeah, it's still quite plain though. Something will be changed in the future, hopefully.

Clean design. Though... it feels a little blank. I think the logo may not have enough focus?

Yeah I think it'll have to be looked at again.

It suits the specification well! It's the kind of smooth theme I would design myself. I'm not sure about the comment that 3-column designs are old-school - if it works, then it works. The one thing that puzzled me the most is that the currently position of the main logo makes it look like a partner company rather than the actual host company. However, I see that you're making a second design with a header image, so all is well!

I never got a chance to make the second design, sadly, as the design/company/project is no more. Unfortunate

Poor design, but I guess thats what the client wanted.
cant help that these days.

ROFL, got to love Big Turbo'08 and the King Exhaust, the best XD
Like the cleanness.
But, i can't find a focal point
Maybe due to the uneven heights of the columns, or smth.

very nice, my only crit is on the hierarchy. the logo kinda gets blended in at a quick glance over. i dont know if you increased the size of the actually logo yet kept the container it is the same size if that would help?

Yeah, the logo/header needs work. Sadly, this project is no more, as the company doesn't have their backing to do a site anymore, so I won't even be working on it anymore

It is good. A few thoughts: a header would be nice, I believe you're already working on that.
In that case, maybe you should incorporate the name (JBS) into the header? Right now, it being placed in with the "Performance Specialists" and login makes it feel a little too inconspicuous.

Yeah, the header is something that definitely needs to be looked at.

Very tasteful and professional.
I love how the Canadian flag fits so well into the color scheme lol.

Haha I know, it just made me laugh... idk why...

I like it. I think the logo may get a little lost among everything else though.

It does look nice, but as some of the others, a bit to blank.
Maybe have the front page (home or whatever you prefer calling it) in a 2-column and the rest of the site in 3?
Think at the top left corner, its too blank. Their logo should be there, and as someone else said, a proper header image of some sort.

Though waiting to see your 2. edition of it

Yeah, the header has bothered me for awhile, I worked on a few ideas but nothing really jumped out at me

Well, nothing is perfect, especially not this. Something to strive for, though. And thanks!

The logo looses focus and doesn't stand out on the page at all, took me a few seconds to locate it. Perhaps fading out the opacity of the brand logos and a bolder presentation of the JBS logo would help.
Due to the gradient, the "add to favourites" link seems to be very boldly placed, one of the first things I saw; perhaps featuring something different there such as the name and phone number would be a stronger design idea.
Otherwise, great design...
