OK, i just noticed you put Male telephonists face, this can be easily changed, the link colour #000066 would fit in fine with the colour scheme, I was cutting it short on the deadline therefore rushed it slightly so if I missed anything it could easily be added / changed if chosen.

Am warming to these dark headers that people are posting. Yours is nice, and the logo too is different, simple, but effective. Ideally I'd like the cards moved over to the left, the "Your Basket" to be placed on the right where the Visa logo is - so it is prominent. Male telephonist, more bolder and perhaps bigger phone number. Also use that right column for a few 157x120 (or any appropriate size) images which include: Live Chat Support, Free Fast Delivery, Money Back Guarantee etc - stuff like that!
Regarding design #33
Also make these right buttons/links quite colourful, as the rest of the site is pretty wishy-washy.

I've adjusted everything according to your comments, a lot more appealing now in my opinion.

Looking better, we would also have Buy Now and More Info buttons next to each product. I think we'd need something to make the middle section featuring the products stand out more - any ideas on this? Maybe, just maybe, the area that says Featured Products / Latest Products / LCD TV & Plasma Wall Brackets could be made bolder somehow - either the text, or a coloured background to that part.

CPR, you are winning the war. These are the changes we'd like to see implemented.
- Lose the search box from top right, and please place it in left hand column underneath the Informaiton links as another box.
- Instead, please somehow merge/fade in a lifestyle image, involving a bracket/TV, in that top right hand header part of the page.
- Loving the card logos where they are, brilliant.
- Make the Breadcrumb trial area slightly smaller/thinner if you can, thus moving the products further up the page.
- As I said make the headings for "Featured Products / Latest Products / LCD TV & Plasma Wall Bracket" stand out more, maybe don't use a background colour, just make the heading black.
- Please can you make the red links in the Latest Products section underlined and Internet Blue #000066 to see what they look like (as we want as many clickable links as possible)
- Featured Products area, please try to separate the two rows if poss with some dots or somehting. Also place two buttons underneath each product picture, one for More Info, and the other for Buy Now (the buy button needing to be more prominent than the More Info one)
- Add a red strip footer (the same colour/gradient at the top) would be great. That would look nice. Also if you go on to becheeky.com (GREAT SITE!!), you see with their footer they've got a few columns of links in their footer, maybe try to place something like that above the red strip to see what it looked like.
Will be VERY interested to see how this ends up looking, as it's the best of the bunch and a great clean look.

Could you change the photo in the header to a wall mounted tv, rather than a tv on a stand please.
The footer looks cool which is great.

Changed the picture and link colour.
Regarding design #51
This looks much better - we'd have to give you an appropriate image for the top right part I think, as solely a Plasma is not good enough - we'd need a picture of a bracket. Apart from that, the changes look really good, and I think the footer is ultimately superb.
Regarding design #51
We ideally want an image like www.tv-wall-brackets.co.uk/images/bracket.jpg in the top picture, where we cana ctually see the lever/arm of a bracket, and a plasma. All in a lifestyle/lounge setting. I know they are very difficult to come across. I'm going to try to find one myself. If you find one appropriate, use it :)
Regarding design #51
OK :), I'll have a look now.
Submitted design #56
OK, I can't find a single picture on istockphoto that has both a lifestyle environment in the background and a TV on a bracket, therefore I've had to place a living room picture in the background (i'll purchase the image if you think this looks ok) and add a more dominant picture of a tv / bracket.
Regarding design #56
So which image is the iStockPhoto one, the one of the bracket or the living room (or both). This is excellent though - the looks is really neat.
Regarding design #56
Just the background one, I cut out the bracket from your current site. I've got plenty of credits at istockphoto so I'll download the full version and replace the current living room image so that the faint 'istockphoto' text isn't shown.
