Why not just place the buy it now link on the page that shows all the pens?
Are you planing on getting your own domain name?

I bet you say that to all the guys
Go ahead and add the pen information below the thumbs and add the pay button for each pen with it.
On the about our pens add a small link with each pen type that will direct the buyers to the proper page.
Your off to a great start. I also agree that you need to go ahead and get your own domain name. It will look more like a business to potential customers.
Also be sure to add some keywords to your keyword tag and a description in your description tag just in case you get spidered.
Most importantly have fun making your site!

It might be a good idea to run your text through Word for a spell and grammar check. Or get an critical eye to proof read it. I know we (I) have been harping on you about it, but in a business world it is important.
Also, I would not have the "about our pens" link in the middle of the pen links. I'm on the fence about the "and go up from there depending on wood and finish." Thats more opinion than anything, I tend to be a minimalist though, so maybe it works just fine for most people.
You've came a long way and definately are on the right track.

I would keep the navigation buttons grouped more logically. For example, the Cigar Pens and Designer Pens should be together along with any new ones you add later. The admin pages like About Our Pens, Contact Information, Pen Care, etc. should be grouped together probably at the bottom of the nav buttons. As a general comment, I would avoid being too wordy. Your family and friends are likely to be the only ones who take time to read it. Customers want to see products and prices, and the more user friendly, the better.

You are off to a great start! You are smart to ask for feedback. Think like an internet buyer. Speed, ease of navigation, convenience. I would put a "signature" photo on the home page, reduce the size of the IAP logo, and make the the verbage a bit shorter. I agree with moving the Paypal links to the thumbnails rather than the larger close ups. For me, I don't like light background websites. I like dark with light text. I find them more apealing. You may know this already but Sitekreator does allow you to easily link to your own domain name rather than the Sitekreator url once you have purchased a domain name.
Don't under estimate the importance of "buyer logic" when critiqing your website. I sell websites to Auto Dealers and thinking things through like a critical buyer makes all of the difference. Our websites keep consumers on dealers websites an average of 12 minutes (4 times longer than our nearest competitor) which result in significantly more sales.
Good luck and let us know on your next update!
