Your credibility for this task would be much higher if you offered your downloadable catalog in something other than PDF
which in and of itself has only limited accessibility and at best is tedious for many AT users.

I had a similar impression of the site. It didn't seem like the individuals
who put the site together were at all familiar with the products listed.
