    3. How long did the site take to load?
    It was very slow - made coffeé came back and it was still loading, gave up and right clicked to play ( i think you may have an actionscript problem mate!)

    4. What speed Internet connection do you have?
    1mb Broadband - Blueyonder

    5. What did you think of the Flash™ animation?
    Could have been better,


    6. What did you think of the colour scheme?
    I neither liked nor disliked it,


    7. What did you think about the site content?
    Average,


    8. What did you think about the menu system and navigation?
    Didnt try as the line art cluttered the page and started to make me sick.. sorry

    9. What did you think of the site's graphics and logo?

    I didn't really enjoy them

    10. How often would you consider re-visiting the site?
    Never, sorry but the site didnt really appeal to me even though im into lord of the rings and used to work in games workshop!

    11. If Never Then Why Is This?
    I didn't like the site,
    I was too slow to load,

    The Line art graphics didnt do anything for the site except clutter it up. I dont think you chose an appropriate colour scheme for your site in ratio to its content, lord of the rings and games workshop stuff in my opinion should be dark and mysterious colours and for a page which should be more friendly then chuck in some grassy green for the effect.

    OK, now its loaded, but I see no site, no navigation, just a bunch of lines. Nothing to click on. Am looking at this with a Mac, not my favourite medium, might be the problem?

    It seems to me mate that you definatly have an actionscript problem, cos looking back at the site. the stuff on there shouldnt take 10 minuts to load, not even a site has intense as neostream or whos we take this long.

    You should check that out!

    1. What did you think of the initial splash page?

    Average

    text layout is perhaps a bit clumsy, but illustration behind knocked out in white is nice... would be cool to see a better relationship between text/text box and image


    2. What did you think about the site opening on a separate page?

    I didn't really think about it

    very common these days and seems fine to me.

    3. How long did the site take to load?

    Not long at all

    ...that is, I THINK it didn't take long... preloader did not work and I had to use 'play' as instructed.

    4. What speed Internet connection do you have?

    DSL (is that broadband?)

    5. What did you think of the Flash™ animation?

    Could have been better

    the flash animation was a screen-build, right? It was pretty basic.... don't know why the white line illustration went up and left and then re-centered.... Seems like those colored bands are a great opportunity for some sophisticated animation!


    6. What did you think of the colour scheme?

    I liked it

    my favorite thing about the site really... lemon lime!

    7. What did you think about the site content?

    Fairly Good,

    seemed deep enough, given that you have lots of product


    8. What did you think about the menu system and navigation?

    OK (sorry to deviate from your choices)

    it made sense, but it was a bit disconcerting to have main nav separated on the right and subnav all together on the left... would have been nice if the subnav came up w/more relation to main nav

    9. What did you think of the site's graphics and logo?

    Average

    The illustration were nice, but the logo is a bit strange/overly complicated

    10. How often would you consider re-visiting the site?

    Never

    11. If Never Then Why Is This?

    Other (please state reason if this is your choice)

    I'm not in to the product... if this were my kind of thing I might well come back.


    the only thing screaming here is: FIX THE BITMAP FONT... you have to be careful in your positioning to get it sharp, not blurry...
