Home Page content goes here...a couple of paragraphs of text at the most and some still graphics of parts, carts, accessories or whatever we want to feature above and beyond what will be going in the Header Flash (home page only) and the Footer Flash (all pages).
The "Quick Links" menu to the left should solve the problem of people getting confused. I think this is much easier to see and understand...the menu will appear on all pages. The space at the bottom of the menu will be used for Flash, images, announcements, promotions, etc.
The Footer will be a looping animation of images and text for the main Categories: Complete Carts, Accessories, Parts, Wheels & tires, etc. This will appear on all the pages.
A Content Page layout will look identical to this one except for the Header Flash...this will be gone and allow the menu (main categories) under the Header to be bumped up to the top below the other buttons.
I think this design is much cleaner and easier to navigate for the end user.
