i know moo, i was just kidding / doin' a coverted bump... but as a tip / what you can do, is checking out your client's competitors sites and see if they use splashes and if so how they look etc.

gud idea but just wondering if anyone knew of any good or poor examples thanks anyway for the help
- dippy0
do you mean in Flash or just plain ole HTML?

splash is just an image right?
then it can be almost anything. Somethign that fits in the context of what you're promoting.
There's no real good/bad in that respect. Just a page with an "enter" button somewhere

yeah, Kuz is right. It wouldn't do much good to list any, cos there'd be so many.
heck, designiskinky has a new splash page every other week!

A few tips:
1) Get their message up quick and get out of there.
2) If using text, keep it on screen long enough to be read. When you're making it in Flash, watch it several times and make enough time before transitions to read each sentance.
3) By God you better have a skip intro button on there
4) Don't put music that's going to scare someone if their speakers are on loud, AKA NO THROBBING 200 bpm TECHNO MUSIC.
5) Don't repeat anything within the intro.
6) Think of it as a commercial: where should the climax be? What conveys the main point, and where?
7) See what you can do in 10 seconds, if it's not enough, try 15.
8) Definatly, absolutely, always code it so that the next time a viewer goes to the site, they are taken straight to the site and not to the intro.
Put a link somewhere in the site for the intro, but do not take them there more than once.
9) Be subtle, graceful even. You can say so much with so little sometimes.

No problem. If you happen upon info for search engine optimization that suggests using your splash page as a "gateway page" loaded with keywords and such, don't do it. :)
