    Welcome to FlashKit!

    I'm just going to point out a few things.
    - The movie doesn't load in Mozilla.
    - You might want to have a sound-off button.
    - Try to make it smoother by increasing the frame rate.
    - Really cool navigation. I love the rollovers and the rain theme.


    Cheers,

    Hi Thero,
    Nice site, I dig the simplicity of it. A few recommendations:
    Lower volume on all sounds.
    A different rain sound, one that's more welcoming, less annoying, or blend one loop into another to keep it from being obnoxious.
    Some sort of title or something for the contact info, so it gives the contact a bit more weight, which will spur more calls and emails.
    I'm not a fan of the box with the rounded corners in the portfolio, squared looks better imho.
    The little sites floating in the water should probably be just an rch brighter.

    Nice work
    John

    i think the rain effect is awesome.
    overall look is great.

    although i appreciate what went into the navigation of the portfolio... i found it a little slow and too mysterious.
    i like to "rapid-fire" through sites... and if content is blurry or under water... i sort of lose interest. I don't mean to be negative, its just my peeve. i think it is a VERY creative approach.

    I don't know if it was just my processor or not, but it seemed to move along kinda slowly. And yeah, that jungle rain sound was a little annoying... I'd suggest maybe something like a gentle rain with very little other background noises. Overall though, it was a cool concept. Keep at it!
