From last week. Still tweakin'. Still testing. Initial thoughts?

How can I prevent that white box from flashing for a brief second when the anim. loads in?
thanks,

did you set your bg colors in the flash movie to be that red? You should copy and paste the code that you get when you export the swf movie. It usually has the bg color tag for the movie itself.

It seems that the bg color on both the flash and my html page is either red or black. No white. Unless you were talking about something diff. piper.

you don't have a flash bg color in the flash code though...but I don't think that's gonna solve it...
- Buckyball20
I can live with it. just curious.
any thoughts on the design?

I really like the design of the content/menu pages - not so keen on the intro anim though...it's a wee bit flat IMHO

might end up killing the logo anim altogether in the end. wanted to do it just to see. but no sense in making people sit through it everytime they visit the site. maybe an amped up version of homepage build will suffice.

I like the simplicity of the layout - don't try to add too much!

give people the option of skipping that annoying first part. the layout of the second part isn't bad but maybe some tighter fonts

The intro bothers me a bit.
The blur doesn't look like motion to me. It looks like poor attempt at simulating motion. IMO
It can work if done right.
The site is ok. Need to see it with more content
Keep up the work.
fresh!

yea the layout if clean and tiddy, not a big fan of t he intro, imo the blurs are not to smooth, maybe a skip into button and on the navagation why not have the buttons fade out on roll out not just fade on roll over
- Buckyball20
the more I look at the logo anim. the more i will probably kill it. go right into a simple build of the homepage similar to what is seen now.
The question is: Do I leave that menu up in the lower right corner after you click on a section and have that section load in behind it? In consideration.
thanks for the input,

always keep navagation in a relative location..if you move it form section to section the user may start to think and all hell breaks loose

it's ok, but the intro should be a LOT shorter.. just one swoosh is enough..
- ********0
with swoosh i mean whatever effect you dig..

you listen. how cool. anyway I don't mind the intro, its short enough. The logo however. have you tried one color. its a bit tiger-like or bengal helmet-ish with the black stripe. otherwise good stuff.
