    Maybe it's just me, but it's taking forever for the site to come up.

    Not too crazy about the opening page. I think you can do better. Also, if your going to use a popup then center it on the screen. I just saw a intro type thing and didn't see any content. I am guessing the rest is coming soon.

    i can understand the concept, but you have excecuted to very badly. the fact that you have to click to trigger every rseponse is very bad. and you dont give enought information to clients to make then want to use you

    Do better? In the sense?
    Centering the popup window? Still working on that code...didn't get it sorted out yet...
    About the 'rest coming soon', I'd supposed you refer to the strange li'l eyes on the top right...that denotes.

    'Click to trigger response'?
    Well as i mentioned (in the earlier thread), the idea here is to be different...give viewers a different 'look and feel' which would effect the interactivity...if you do feel the clicking to be irritating, then I might as well wait for the similar majority response and then switch the idea to something else.

    'Enough info to clients'?
    Again, I'd refer to the 'eyes' since it's kinda like a 'coming soon' site. As per the info, I'm building on the portfolio page for now...so far..just wanted the name and email up there...

    too much clicking required to enter the site, set a cookie (a flash shared object even) so that when a person goes through it once he/she won't have to do it again.

    pfft - quit it with the mumbo jumbo - he is not finished yet - I think it looks very promising, but thinks it needs nore umph. I think people that think opening pages are THAT important need a slap.

    i can see it. at the least it takes you on a kind of journey with a start and finish.

    i would make the graphic at the bottom be more obvious its a button depending on your target audience (how web savvy are they) and i would make the graphics on the front page smaller. its just my own preference but i think small and subtle beats out big and dominant any day. the type is a good size, however.

    interesting and engaging while it lasts

    problems4me, if we can't critique unfinished work, then what is the point of people posting works in progress.

    I am as far from corporate stylee as possible. The site looks good so far. The opening page needs work.

    It is just my opinion, nothing personal.

What more i didnt realise i had to click on the logo at the bottom to go through a 'powerpoint' presentation.. i want to click once and thats it most would agree i find.. Adding to that the popup.. it doesnt do it for me.. Too much empty space, things looking unorganised whats that about the eys at the top? Needs a lot of work

    Well, the size to be precise is 53KB...

    To realise that, is the small animation played in the start...sure you'd figure that out if you had your speakers turned on! Powerpoint?! Well, that's an opinion....'differentiation' is the key here...

    Maybe it's because I didn't tell it is a popup...Guess I should put one of those that go 'Launch' or 'Deploy'...else....many sites got it and ppl don't notice it...it's the way you put it I guess...

    Empty space?! Well that's the theme!! Can't do much about that...
    The eyes will tell you what they are on 'mouse over'...it gives a 'Coming soon' impression...(or atleast hope it does)

    Usability

    Flash should be used as an enhancement rather than a distraction. This is a good starting point for using Flash to the users advantage.

    I think it's a good, fresh strategy. When I watch non-FK members surf, I realize that they need alot of direction with flash sites, so maybe a bobbing arrow above the triangle button that directs the user would help.

    On your "watch for more", I would recommend adding a line that says something like "In the meantime, you can email us at adsf@asdfasdf.com" (with link/mailto).

    Load time was almost instant on cable.
    if (you expect help){
    then.help(others);
    }else{
    gotoAndCheck.aSite4.somePoorBastardinSiteChex;
    }
