    The design isn't consistent across different sections. For example, on the home page there's a left margin image, but when changing to the livestock pages, there's no margin, making the page "jump" when browsed. The tabs don't stay in the same layout between all the pages; they switch with the one you click on. PDF is a no-no for a price list. There's a few broken links, albiet on less-browsed areas. The tabs don't work correctly on every page. There's spelling errors all over the place, with a bit of engrish tange thrown in. There's no information on any of the livestock, not even a picture to be sure they're IDing correctly. The "weekly speicals" are quasi-WYSIWYG, as in they have pictures of some of the livestock, but not the rest, implying they only want to show off certain stuff. Their web hosting service decided to start throwing around 404 errors while I was browsing to do this quick writeup. They have 2 different home pages (LMFAO), depending on whether you click on "Home" or go to fllronline.com.....

    I'm done pulling out details that are wonky about their website, but if they expect to be taken seriously as a reputable business, they should invest in a website that's not geek comedy gold and/or good web design classroom material for the "Don't Do This" portions. I'm not bashing their actual business operations, as I haven't dealt with them, but I have doubts about their actual business operations when someone isn't willing to spend reasonable effort to put together a good, coherent website and check that their contractor built it properly. That first browse through the website (a.k.a. first impression of the business) is going to mean absolutely everything to someone wanting to buy from them, and although the stuff isn't all huge, there's so much there that's wrong that nearly anyone will notice something or other about it.

    I also agree with the previous post.

    but i can understand wanting to get into the fish business because they love it so much. I applaud them for that. I like there prices and i am sure they try real hard to do a good job.but like said in my previous post its just to unorganized and lacking important and needed information. i don't buy anything from any company that doesn't list the correct address. its fine if they only have a small office to pick up orders just list the full address of that location if that the main office for doing business.
    it's great that they will delver to you if you are in there area how awesome is that. i never heard of that. if i lived in there area i would be broke. so they do have a very good idea/business plan but for god's sake hire someone to redo you web page:
