a few things i didnt understand. your main site. i didnt understand the
button actions. some work and some dont work. but all fade to grey when
there is a mouseover. the site moves quite slow. i think you used alot of
tweening rather than actionscript. i am on broadband with nothing
downloading. and it was slow. plus on one of the pages you have a 9meg file.
that is rather large for an swf file. do you have a license to use the
method man track?

site is also quite dark and the writing didnt really shine thru.

just an opinion.

hi smoovejc

you have a very busy site. it looks like a good start. i agree that the mouseover fade to grey thing is unnecessary. the site has a html feel to it with flash elements. i would say take one flash scheme and stick with that the whole way through the site.
so far a good start. i give it a 5 out of 10.

The fashion page never loaded for me even with dsl. The scrolling type on
the upper left was too fast and too small to read. The red lettered type was
also too small for me. I am set at 1024-768 on my monitor.
Nevertheless-the site held a great deal of promise and looked very exciting
to me. I am very disappointed that the functionality held back my enjoyment
and my participation (visual and intellectual).
With some modification of the above, I would say you are really on to
something-visually at least!

As a general rule, business sites won't tolerate a main page bigger than
about 60kbytes. Your main page is over 500kbytes.. nearly 10 times too big.
Although you can make great looking stuff with 1/2 meg, it's a rare
situation where you can use that for business. If you want to have large
files available, make a small main page and have the bigger stuff loadable.
Give visitors the option to get into the big stuff or not. I like the way
it looks though, and if the customer is ok with a giant sized file and load
time for the main page then it's fine. I also think that a 'click here to
enter' button is silly. Just go. There is no need to click an enter button
to get in. The only time you need that is if you present a choice.. like
low bandwidth page versus high bandwidth page or html page versus flash
page.
These are just my humble opinions.. hoping to be helpful to you.

Hey,

initialy, I like it - but, basicaly just what others have said, it is very busy, and im on a friends comp atm, and evrything is very jumping - you want to make a site which looks good on older comps aswell - so it is available to a wider selection of audi
ence.

Also, is the logo meant to look like that? it looks very,, messy i guess - which I think effects the over all look of the entire site.

With the buttons - i reackon keep the "flash" bit when the mouse rolls over it, but, instead of grey, make it a semie tranpart white (definatly not 100% alpha value) and if you decid to make it grey still, dont have it a solid colour, make it smi transpar
t, so its not AS obvious, try and keep things abit suttle, but noticable. Again, with the buttons at the top of the page (eg: services+contact" the grey flash thing is bigger than the button - "near enuf is not good enuf" some1 once taught me.

just fix these things - and definatly make it smoother, which can me made by making the screen less busy.

I like the ite and its original enuf and should/will appeal to your audience.

well done
