Top navigation bar vs. left side - site archetecture

[BigBlaze205]

we do eCommerce on BigCommerce platform, I'm using the top navigation menu for:

home

about

policy

faq

and other standard informations

all my products are list in the left navigation Categories menu. What is your advise about this?

Should we have the products at the top? The top menu are web pages, not categories.

Also, if you have a better ideas about our site archetecture, you are welcome to comment.

For a site your size, I think the left side nav is fine (for SEO purposes). From a usability perspective sometimes its nice to have a mouse over link in the main nav to give visitors easy access to category and sub category pages but that's just my opinion.

By the way, love bigcommerce! We work on ecommerce sites 24/7 and that is by far my favorite for small to mid size sites.
