    go easy, its taken me ages.

    Hi fellow flashers.

    I am just about to launch a new media company over here in the UK called digital farm.
    The site isn't completly finished yet.
    Please let me know what you think!

    Thanks for your time.

    site works great for me

    i like the site very simple and easy to use looks interesting.

    one thing i dont like the repeditive bleeting of the sound. i think we could all agree a repetitive sound is annoying to the ears. play a short track or nothing at all. id still be happy with the site without sound.

    allbe it i think the sound that plays at the moemnt fits the site well. just gives me a headache after a few minutes.

    i like all those anime in the popups too. nice work.

    pop ups are ****.
    the font you use is ****.
    animations are choppy.
    "free range new media and design solutions" ... crap.

    your comments ****

    Pops ups are **** - why?
    The font use is **** - I'll look into it.
    Animations are choppy - WTF? go on, admit it, you want to sound like you know what your talking about don’t you.... bless. ‘choppy’ I think you need to look up the word mate.
    "free range new media and design solution .... crap”. - do you care to elaborate.

    I checked out your personal site
    http://www.geocities.com/fathersdaydon/ - And going by that, I wont be listening to your criticism. Stick to the back-end and stop talking out of it dude.

    I asked for constructive criticism. If there is any part of my site you take a dislike to please explain why in more detail like everyone else kindly has. Four stars don’t tell me much. ' I'm sure lots of people think Rock music is '****', Football is '****' or Shrek 2 was '****' but unless you tell people why you dislike something you wont respect your opinion.

    I like it alot....

    I have a pop up clocker on, so none of the content would come up....

    that is why pop ups are uswually bad...if I want on this board and looking for stuff, I would have left a long time ago, and not trouble shot the site.

    I realize that the cows eye flickers to look like its blinking (i think) But it should be slowed down a bit....it just looks like it flickers, like there is an empty frame at the of the time line

    All in all a good site...I too do not like the fonts a whole lot.

    I think the animations are fine.

    I see you quickly removed the link to your site. Good move. lmao
    You should really take a dose in growing up. Right now you have the mentality of a jealous 2 year old. You should change your name to iwhinealot....

    About the site. I agree with NRD about the blinking. It looks like the eyball disapears for a second.
    When i first saw the site, I thought the menu would would slide over to reveal the content, not pop-ups. Maybe try incorporating that into the site some how? I have a source file of the sliding menu somehwere on my PC. If you want it, just shot me a PM.

    Definitely not digging the popups. I think it would be best to integrate them into the flash file and make them new windows inside of the flash.... Otherwise, not bad at all.

    I really like the concept of having pop ups. but you guys have a point I might look at ditching them. Just for the record... does anyone actually like them? im not talking about the design, i mean the concept of having pop ups.

    Ill have to change the text, I dont suppose anyone had one they could recommend to me?

    I'll sort the eye ball and the sliding menu sounds good, just gotta keep this file size down.

    Thanks for all your help chaps.

    here is an idea when a section is clicked, lower the alpha of the cow grass, tree, etc. to something like 10 then externally load the the popup flash files int a new layer. just can't stand popups.

    agreement about the pop-up windows...bad interface design.

    perhaps the eyeball on the cow could be made...less glaring? The site is rather mellow, and that eyeball looks somewhat ghoulish.

    nicely done otherwise. Maybe the nav font could be a little less blurry too.

    I've found that using actual JavaScript pop-ups can lose potential clients from the growing pop-up-blocker-population. I just use regular browser windows for my PHP stuff (guestbook, chat, contact) because I'm too lazy to Fla****ize them, and Flash and XML for easily editable content.
