Hat's off to ya all - check mine out.

I checked several of the sites that were submitted in here and many were top rate. My skills don't even come close, however, as my first completed Swish site, feedback will be very helpful.

first things first! get a preloader onto it! and cut down the file sizes!


oh no, it took like a minute for the PRELOADER to load on my 56K, ur gonna have to get that sorted!

right the inros not up to much yet, get it faster and stop using so many "Cheesy" effects, liek pic spining and stuff, its not really gonna impress to many people.

and y does the skip intro button load the main site in a different window, is that not a bit pointless??

and some of the colours dont really go with eachother,

its not bad, dont get me wrong, its just not brilliant, learn from ur mistakes!

thats what i did, and i'd liek to think of myself as being actually "good" at this stuff now

hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for taking the time to check it out.

About the preloader, the intro and site both have it. Did it not load at all? I broke the site into several small movies is it taking this long for everyone to view?

About the "skip intro" I figured that maybe some people might want to just get to the main info and if they like what they see, the option to check out the intro is still there. Is that a bad idea?

What do you mean by "right the inros not up to much yet"?

Thanks and keep the feedback coming.

i agree with slinky2000 about everything he said.
also, the colors arent that great in my opinion.
you might want to add some more graphics?
make it so it doesnt resize when you change the browser size?
align the buttons on the corners?
just make it more interesting.
but its your first try at a flash site, and thats a good start

keep working, and good luck

swish site?
i know what swish is (i think) and've used it for effects, but what's a swish site,? if you don't mind my ignorance...is it done from some kind of template? (presets in swish bring this to mind) .. i did see some swish text effects in there, so maybe that's part of it ..

const. suggestions
not bad for a first site. don't really want to criticize this too much if it's done from a template, but otherwise, my constructive suggestions would be to pay more attention to design in general, pick some more appropriate fonts (a few of them are just plain bizarre), and figure out more subtle ways of using the photos...

i'll tell u what i mean, by "the intros not up to much"

is the intro isnt exciting or interesting it actually makes u want to press the skip button!

i'm sorry for bein harsh, but sometimes its the way u learn !
