I've 2 cents here :

1. for commercial site. I would say most of the time, dont use flash, muzik or too much graphics. you know how people react with slow connection. they will quit. remember not every body has the luxary of high speed connection. otherwise those girls got good design skill.

2. your cart should have the same look and feel as your main page. probably not to launch another new page.

thanks

Selling products website MUST straight to the point.
heavy flash is disturbing.

Even wasted for keyword search. Since there's lack of 'readable text'..

Selling site must easy to update and got NICE picture to attract buyer.

Flash? none, none of it work instead for advertisement beside..
Nowaday flash is nothing, just for multimedia presentation replacing the lame powerpoint. In web? SEO is king..

It remind me that he might want to target the F&F3 : Tokyo Drift market. Once you click the shopping cart, Boom, a standard installation of OSC. Nothing special about it.

If it is an e commerce site, it would be better if your shopping cart template design is same like the main page, so it'll looks more profesional ecommerce site. The main page should have readable content with pictures of your products. Also its not a good idea if your shopping cart opens in a new window.

ussually in ecommerce site, flash is used as a header design to attract ppl... and also used for product scrolling instead of using javascript...

my my point is the color of your template and open in a new window thing... it would be nicer if your ecommerce template color and design is same as the main page and both pages links to each other in the same window...

better refer to another successfull "selling product website" ie = amazon, ebay, lelong .. etc.

1- Why white background.
it's not just about professional or business color. But it's easy and readable, even for someone had a poor sighting. (how's spelling?)
White mean easy to read.

2. Flash? aiyaa. you so crazy about flash aaa?..

study more wellknown/established selling products website.. there's more answer for all question.

there's couple of ways to attract customers online including

great content
paid advertisement
brand recognition

if you plan to go for brand recognition, flash animation is a great way for it. you see many big car companies choose this path. bmw, honda etc. but it must be very good and not be a half-assed presentation.

if you plan to do this you need to present something unique and standalone which i dont really see from your website.

anyway, good effort.

p/s : i dont think search engine have any problem indexing flash content.
