Nice and smooth. The books and software link is dead, no big deal. Other then that, looks great.

So, earning a living at last Wolf
Looks good, very business like. I would prefer the menu and the images to fade in than slide in but that just my opinion.
How much of the site is yours?

[wolfgross]

well,...thanks john, i tried the fade (and it looks good) but I havn't figured out how to fade the images to 50% alpha in the 'fade in' option.
well...it's the flash intro (17k) and I've redone their logo.
cheers

The Logo is fantastic. Dont use FADE IN use transform, same effect but with the Alpha option as well.
Well done.

[Cadence]

I find, for simple fade-ins to certain alpha settings, it's most simple to use the MOVE effect ... The Transform (sorry jofta) effect has a lot of extra bells-and-whistles on it that you'll have to adjust ...

For the MOVE effect, just uncheck "Continue from previous effect" ... Then, on the Start At tab, start it at 100% Transparent, then on the Motion Tab, set it to fade in to 50% alpha ...

Just a suggestion, it might save a couple of steps, and a couple of seconds

Peaces,
Cadence

well,....thanks john & cadence...the move thingie works fine...now 'the man' can have a choice between slide and fade

very nice swish job! couple of comments on html: on the "in house training" page, you should think about increasing/adding cellpadding or -spacing, same with the form on the technical information page.

some of your headlines use a serif-font, some don't (e.g. on training workshop page, "Instrumentation, Automation... ". is this intended?

the site really looks businesslike, very good!

[wolfgross]

well,...thanks lys,...unfortunatly the html hasn't grown on my pile...done only the flash intro and revamped their logo.
btw,...thanks for poining it out, could develope into a bit more work
cheers

Wolf,
Very Clean and contained, Logo does justice to the product.
A bit mellow compared to your norm.
Well Done

Especially compared to that new footer Dion

[wolfgross]

well,.....thanks dion,...good to hear from you again, yep...sometimes you have to hold your horses
well,...john,... a bit too esoteric for you?
this is to symbolize the birth of.....SWiSHMAN
.....the saviour of us poor non-flashers...with more punch then you can flash a stick at

[dion747]

John did you have to get him started? lol
Too early to comment on the strobe light effects in your footer Wolf, but I'm sure it's cooking

I'm just a novice and peeked outta curiosity.

Real nice site though.

I wont comment on the design stuffs, as i'm not good enough, but seemed fine to me. Certainly a site i would be able use easily.

One thing, your probably going to add this already though.
A pre-load page that shows a "loading" dialogue.
While the site loaded on my lil 56k (which didnt take too long) the window was just blank, and only because i saw the stuff loading in my status i knew it was loading.
But a slow user "might" get the idea that the site is slow or something. The "loading" page would fix that though

Knomad
(looking enviously at what he cant do!)

[wolfgross]

well,....dion,...getting started?...you should know it takes more than a leg(foot)less mod to get me going

well,...knomad, thank you for your comments...just regarding a preloader,...my stuff is about 17k's for the intro and the rest of the page(which is not really my doing)..is about 20k's....so I don't think a preloader is needed.....you might have just had a bad connection.
cheers
