preloaders fucked... jumps to 100% and then sits loading data for another 2 minutes.

Oddly, I didn't notice the preloader at all for some reason.
Are you working at the moment?

Good shit, man. Feels clean and tight - all the motion's weighted appropriately and I feel like i can 'explore' your site - it's not just a a list. Good work too!
One thing about the pre-loader - for me, the blue should expand 'downwards' - it's a drip after all, no?
- freshlysqueezed0
nice idea Nairn. I've clearly gotta check out the functionality of the preloader, so might implement the downward fill as suggested...

how do you get your navigation menu on right click (control click on mac)???
is that done with flash??
site and work are nice mate!
- freshlysqueezed0
You need to edit the ContextMenu in actionscript. There's some handy stuff in Flash help about it, but here's a quick tute:

brilliant!
no probs with preloader
I would tweak preloader visual.
though, maybe something more
to relate to squeezed.
And maybe the colour (orange?)
not the colour of water....just a thoughtlet
- freshlysqueezed0
the old version of the site used orange and was more related to the idea of freshlysqueezed. I intentionally moveds away from that this time, making it more generic.
cheers for your thoughts though aliceblue.

Okay. It's a nice site all around. Like the right click context menu. Couple of things.
Crit:
Your freshlysqueezed and interaction design type hangs over the line by a couple of px on each side. Also check your kerning on those two. In addition to your leading in regards to the horizontal rules between these elements and the about/portfolio/contact elements.
Also, the thumbnails are too small and they don't really show anything. Perhaps on the rollover you could have the client name appear.
It would be easier to navigate the site with a previous next button so you don't have to go back up to the thumbnails after clicking on the image number to see the rest. Even better if you integrate some left (previous) right (next) arrow keyboard action maybe even using the up down arrows for the next image in that section.

That Danish site has made me hungry.

top suggestion to use next/prev buttons. idea noted and will definitely be implemented at some stage. cheers for the comments - will check my type.
