I just updated my business website and I am posting here for positive constructive feedback.
Zen and other friends made comments that I took to heart and you will see some of the chcnages here.
I added "buttons" to the front page. Something I didn't even know I could do until Zen mentioned it. Great addition IMHO.
I also went with a more standard font in some places, also a Zen suggestion, although I didn't have the patience to fix it every where.
Home page is here
The content worth checking out includes the brand new "Store Window" page...
window displays
Custom displays...
custom displays
archetectural acrylic...
http://displaydubai.com/architectural%20acrylic.html
I'd appreciate any constructive critisism.

I like it.
First minor thing I noticed. You use all the same font underneath the photos in the "custom displays", very nice, but under a few photos in the "windows displays" you have the old font that I'm not fond of. Should all be the same font. Same deal with the very last photo in "architectural acrylic". And "metal displays". Oh, "acrylic finishes".
architectural acrylic: I really like the photos of the guys working. I don't like your choice of the big photo at the top of the page, the one of the bar. At that size, you can tell it is not in focus, it's slightly fuzzy. I'd choose to make the "skylight center piece, preparing for finish" photo with the worker or a different wine shelf photo the big one on top.
How about a big pile of ballots in the ballot box with "Ahmadinejad" in big letters with blood droplets splattered about? And how about a few choices amongst the hangers???
My favorite mannequin photo is the "abstract f 3" kneeling woman on pedestal. I think that would be the better photo on the Home page down below on the "adult mannequin" link than the headless male with the package bulge, but that's just me.

I was more turned off by the six pack abs, but I think it's just a jealousy thing.
Overall, I like the clean lines and simplicity of the site. There's a tendency with artistic presentations to be too artsy, but it usually just results in being too busy, as least for my tastes.

It's very well done.
My only complaint would be you have too many photos. Trim it down to your best examples of each type, so that anyone can look through all of them in 5 minutes.

Either that, or create a more intuitive tree, so they can dig down if they like, but can just look at a few shots to give them a broad idea of each category.

As far as the bulge goes, keep in mind 80% of my clients are either gay men or females.
Bili I understand you point about the photos. The reason I have so many. And maybe it's not a good reason, is because people looking on the net will see things and it gives them ideas and they literally reference the photo.
There is some excess on there though. I guess one could ask do I need 3 photos of Valentino at Dubai Mall and then 3 at Burjuman, or would 3 total instead of 6 be enough? Is that the sort of thing you mean?
I need all the hangers and mannequins because that's how people decide. In a way the site is my catalog.
Maybe as a next ambitious project mapping further out as you suggest for some of this is the answer. The question is will people in Dubai figure it out?
Thanks for the feedback.
