I applaud the effort you've put into this. I think this is a great
start for evolt to become self sustaining.
My initial thoughts:
From an end user standpoint, its not very intuitive as to what i'm
supposed to or what is being offered once i'm at the site. I figured it
out soon enough, but a novice may click elsewhere. I'd put a little
more detailed summary of what's offered on the front page. I'm also a
little wary of the registering for an account in order to purchase,
although i know some sites make you do that(maybe i'm just paranoid or
something)

I think the evolt affiliate site should carry the evolt look and feel
as well, but that's just me....
All in all, i'd say this is a great start that can only get better.
