Changes to the navigation bar!

I have made some changes to the font used on the main navigation bar. Below is a screenshot of the original look of the navigation bar. The font used is 'Verdana' but is capitalized and the font weight is bold. I was not happy with the look of the font used so I went on to have a play around with the font and had a look at other websites for inspiration.



After messing around with it for a bit and looking at other inspiration I finally decided to use the font used on the final look of the navigation bar. I have stuck with the 'Verdana' font but taken the font weight off so it is normal and used the text-transform on the css so it makes all the letters uppercase.
When the user hovers over a link it turns bold so they can easily tell where their mouse cursor is.

Admin page inspiration!

Problem with search feature

I have come across a problem with the drop down search feature on my home page. I have noticed it is not always displaying the products it should. I tested it with the blue necklace. I know this product is Jewellery in the price range £6 -£10 and the colour blue.
I have now put this selection into the search feature.Below is a screenshot of the results page. Nothing is being displayed even though there should be at least the blue pendant necklace being displayed.

Dropdown search feature!

On the homepage and on the view all gifts page, I have a drop down search feature. This allows users to choose a category, price range and colour and it then displays appropriate gifts based on the user's input. Below is a screenshot of the search feature:
Below is an example of a search. The category selected is Jewellery, the price range selected is £1 - £5 and the colour selected is Pink. When the user clicks the submit button it should display relevent gifts.
Below is the search results page and you can see it has displayed a pink and grey necklace at £2.00 there it has displayed a gift that is relevent to the search.
