i like the first page, where you choose how to go..

nice, small picture in the center..

as for the flash... well, the fon'ts aren't too matched up for a fashion site..

sounds... i'm not sure if jazzy type of a background music is good for this type of site.. soemthing more upbeat, perhaps, mate?

i like the way you load your images.. it is a nice perloader, and again, consider a font change.

have an option to stop the auto scroll of the images... and to start it again. that would be a plus for your site.

the sound on mouseover for the navigation, make it sound higher.

nice shape tween when moving to a new category.

hold on... don't get me wrong.... i like the music you're playing here... just that my opinion is, have a faster tune for a site like this.

accessories took longer to load...

for homeware, sound of clicking is delayed... the tween moves on, then the sound comes... maybe you can switch the order, so that i hear the click, as, or before i see the motion.

still, good work!

Very nice site. Love the photos. I think I would also look into changing the music. The loops now are too short and not lively enough for the feel of the site - I'm glad I had the option to turn it off. I would like to have access to the main menu on every screen instead of always having to hit the back button. Maybe have a 'Menu' button with options that appear on rollover so it would be easier to quickly move around the site.

I'll donate some of my music to you for your site, breakbeat style I guess it is... it's got some latin flavour and .... ahhh, other weird siht! anyways if you want some let me know, I have slow to fast 165+ Jungle / Breaks.


Peace

I like the site by the way, not so keen on the photo's of the girl though, they look to 80's to me.

thanks guys for your suggestions... am working on the sound at the moment but seem to be stuck as the client definitely do not want fast or dance music with the collection... but rather something downbeat or arty and weird... thanks for the offer skitzofrantic, what are your suggestions? please email me

photos are provided by client and i guess the collection is somewhat 70s and 80s inspired... and you've got some really hot stuff in your portfolio, skitzofrantic.

again, thanks for all the valuable comments regarding the nav etc... i'll definitely bear them in mind for coming projects.

Right on! glad you like my work.

Tell them I'm available to do some shots for them too. Music, I have a whole bunch of weird sihte I will send you some more info I have to dig them out...

for now you can goto my site a click on the little speaker, a window will pop that's ginormous!!!! (Don't know how to fix my no scroll bar no border problem) anyways in this window you will be able to listen to two samples I have made, there just peices of whole songs, 2 mins worth each i think. The quality is sihtty though, I don't know how to make it higher through flash yet. But the original stuff is bang on!

Check 'em out, and I'll send you some more links of my music to evaluate.


Peace

Two little things, besides that I love most of it ( and my programming skills actually deny me to have any criticism at all ):
On the full screen version, I can't really see the use of it, as only a small part of the screen is actually used, but that's yust me. What really amazed me though there was no scrollbar at the right, the one thing I can never get rid of in full screen mode. (hint )

At the 'stores' section, the use of the scrollbar might really irritate people. One click only gets you a few lines more, you have to really click a lot to see more. The use of the arrow keys might be one solution, continously scrolling on mouse down would really improve this. Also, but that could yust be an opinion, I can see the lines that are still to be shown through the 'mask' at the bottom. It does show you there is more to be viewed, which could very well be the reason to do it that way.

Yust my two cents, hope it helps.
