Needs preloader.

Most people assume they got a
bad link when nothing is displayed
and move on.

The 1st page is just an html page w/ a small animation so they can check for the flash player. When you click the "Click Here to Enter", it takes you to the index page which is the preloader.....

I really like that spinning globe. that was a very good idea. Did you come up with the design yourself?

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback. Actually, I got the spinning globe idea from a tutorial I saw on the swishzone main site. Here is the direct link:

The whole tutorial was pretty simple, and then I just modified it to fit my site. Have a good day.

Your graphics need to be resized to stay above the text "Forward In Faith Ministries. Phoenix, Arizona" line

The globe looks good! But your have compressed the graphic you are using in it too much. It is very pixelated. And you should tilt the globe so that it is more realistic... the world spins at an angle not straight. :-) There is a font called dingmaps.ttf that has a map of North and South America, Europe and the East. It does much better than using a graphic for this effect.

You have some pretty hefty files in the Youth Gallery. And yet the preloader never changes from 0KB of 0Kb. :-) Might want to check the scripting on that and see why it is not reading the percentages. Great photos but I would make each of them a seperate sprite so you did not have to load them all with that one file. That would cut your loading time on there down quite a bit especially when you add more photos with future events.

The scroll bar on the Special portion of the Youth page is sticking out........ tone it down a bit by changing the colour to the same blue as in the young mans sport clothes. :-) You could make the window a bit larger also!

On the Colums /News page, I don't know where you got your information for the word "revolution" but I would check www.webster.com for the correct pronunciation and definition.


On your News Page again you have this bright blue scroll bar but it is in keeping with the other bright colours so I supose this is ok. :-) But the text on the banner at the bottom is almost impossible to read. You can put a "on roll over" action on it to stop it when the mouse rolls over it. This could help.


Again on the Schedules page the text at the top is almost impossible to read..... the red part. And the Planner graphic you have there would be very simple to draw in Swish and would look much better as a vector than the pixelated one that you have there now. :-)


The ministries page has the links at the top but no links on the graphics you have there. That is confusing because it is expected to have the links on the graphics. And when you click on the link some of the text is covered up by the new graphics such as on Young Generation...... the two young girls photo covers up half of the text on the Young Generation graphic of the gurken and tomato. If you group each one of these graphics as a sprite then you can have them all disapear except for the one that you click on .


Looks like you have done a lot of work here! :-) Good luck! Keep it up!

Hello,

I was just browsing the forum today and saw your post in response to my sitecheck request. Thank you very much for the suggestions you made for my site. Until now, I didn't really think too many people actually looked at it, but with your helpful tips, I now know what to change. I've seen a lot of the work that you've posted and its really amazing to see what swish can do. You must be one main swish experts, judging by your thorough knowledge of the software. I'm definitley going to get to work with the suggestions you made, and I thank you again for taking the time to view the site.
