Default I need your input on my website please

I was just at Verizon wireless and got a new cell phone and while I was there I was looking at some of the cool tablets/pads , so I clicked on my website to see how fast it loaded and I noticed that my menu bar didn't show up. so over the past few months I have had calls for columns and I always get asked how much a column is , I couldn't understand why I was getting asked how much when the prices are on my website ? so I really didn't think much of it till today , so I am asking for input from you guys on phones ,laptops and I-pads etc, my website has a 70 Camaro at the top and the menu bar is right underneath it to click on pics of customer cars,prices and other stuff , let me know how it looks to you so I can fix anything that's wrong,i have a standard tower computer at home and a Toshiba laptop and I can see everything fine, but the Samsung tablet I looked at didn't show the menu bar, please post your input, thanks for your help, Jim

Jim I just pulled it up on my computer and everything is there and works fine but my IPhone does not pull up the menu bar,I think your website is fine but Ipads and Iphones do pull up different versions of websites,I have seen that alot from our Ipad.

It asks me for a plugin, but no option to install it. Your menu appears to be flash, which automatically won't play well with any Apple products; that means no Ipads/I-phones. Plus even regular tablets and phones that don't have the proper Flash plugin or have it blocked will not be able to see the menu either.

I'd have it changed to a normal (non-flash) drop-down menu if it was mine.

just don't build any navigation on Flash or Java platforms, keep it simple with basic HTML and look to see if the web builder software your using has mobile optimization ....oh wait and to speed up loading remove the back grounds and keep them all the same color the site will have a fluid look and appear more professional.....more professional means people will spend money with you feeling confident about the site

Jim, the site is great. Much improved!
I'm an apple user, and it had no idea that you ever offered pricing on the site, because I couldn't see the menu. I actually bought a column from you, solely based on what my peers said about your products. Lateral G members are great salespeople!
