Layout changes for better performance

On this stage you should change your X-Cart layout fully. As you know the x-cart was mostly based on the tables (old version), what is not good. If you owner the new version, which is based on the divs - it's not possible to say that it's good too (it's too overloaded by different things).

Firstly you should make the code as simple as possible and don't use the images if it's possible to make the same thing on the css.

Secondly - please move the big images to the css background. It will allow to load it when the whole page is loaded. This way the customer will see the page and then images loading.
