looking pretty good -- I would make just a few suggestions

1) turn the logo on top into a 'home' button, this is so standard these days I'm sure you'll run into users that will get confused about this

2) try doing something else with the extra whitespace on the menu side, it's looking just a little empty there.

3) the forward/back buttons are a little confusing, it took me a while to realize they operated off of the browser's history. these might be more useful as a quick tool to navigate through the pages of the site.

overall looks good!

That is an interesting concept to use the << >> buttons to scroll through the site.

holy makerrell. Did i spell that right?

I love the 3d int eh beginning and the s that is lying down.
That was sweet. is it a combination of the same 3d model with different textures and then touched up in photoshop?
That was sweet. They say that the average person spends less than 15 seconds on a site. But i spent like 18 :) Just because i wanted to reply on fk.

Thanks for the comments boys!

I made the objects in 3DS Max and did a little color correction in Photoshop.

I will think about adding a complimentry color to the scheme.

Fudge i am bad at that 3d thing.
I want that effect but its hard.
I want the letter m . For mike =)

I made the 3d model then i made the model inmesh texture.
combined the pics.

The pics ended up looking grey and fuzzy and bad quality.

- My objects do not use bitmaps.
- they are made up of 3 objects (wireframe,trasparent body, top)
- I apply the shadow after in photoshop

same deal here, i love the 3d, i hate the homepage...something needs to fill the white space on the left, its a good spot for either your links or an image, someone posted a site for a sunglasses company a week or so ago that had a slideshow running there, it looked great.

the links need to be more prominent, as do the <<>> so they're easier to pick up on the page, at 1024 they're really wimpy.

otherwise, great job!

it might be a netscape problem, although it seems to be find with mozilla. when i first viewed the site it was in netscape on a machine running xp pro.

hope that helps.
