You have used VML Graphics, which is only supported in IE 5 and up browsers under Windows. It is not
supported by any other browsers. Remove all VML Graphics (WordArt, items created with the drawing
tool bar).

Use plain text for your content and hyperlinks. This will also give the search engine content and
keywords to index, since you are trying to sell products, this would be important to you

Also remove all spaces from file and folder names, as will break your links in some browsers.
