    - Everything is so slow - why is there a delay between my clicking something and the loading animation popping up?
    - There's something spastic going on in the bottom right of the Gola Classics screen. The Zoom Slider (I presume it is) bar doesn't do anything, and two duplicate versions of it flash intermittently underneath and to the right of it, about 20-30 pixels away.
    - "Men's Shoes / Women's shoes", not "Mens shoes / Womens shoes"
    - I really don't get the oddly-animated Apple-esque Carousel and graphic style, on the Gola Classics and Gola Sport pages. It's a bit nasty and I really don't like the aesthetic mangling. Gola is a retro shoe company that has stood the test of time for being what it is - not for being a piece of fad plastic that needs replacing every 18 month consumer cycle. A shame, because I quite like all the other 'cool' graphic details you've deployed, even if they're generally a bit trite and safe.
    - Why on Earth does the Store open in a new window? I didn't even notice at first, with my browser's New Tab settings as they are.
    - The one almost on-brand piece, the history page, is a mere slideshow? Meh.
    - The My Gola animation needs to bar less frenetic.

    I guess management are probably wetting themselves over this swish new-looking site, but it doesn't make very much sense to me. Should've been more content and style led, I think - the Lacroix mention is buried in nowhere. You expect young trendies to dig for something to be swayed by? That should be a shout on the front page.
