just launched this mini-site promoting the baby plan package offered by McKay's Photography.

Would love some feedback on usability and overall feel. Thanks!

• the navigation "drag" works well
• center the .swf in browser
• remove the two-tone background
• why so many fonts?

The dragging isn't working for me at all. OSX on the latest Firefox.

Not fond of the background color but it works for your target.
Not a fan of the buttons.
Like the simplicity.
Seems like some info is missing under the packages. They just have one package? If you cycle through the images it says $175 for a slide show but that isn't under the packages page.
For some reason I do not want to read the text.
I would put the photographers name at the top.
Can you use that logo thing in the flash intro for the photographers logo?

The dragging is just weird

*Update: okay the "drag" started working. Guess the site just had to load?
A couple things:
1) make the nav stand out more, it gets lost with that backdrop and it's not obvious where to click. (likewise with the bottom "share" and "contact" links.)2) the "drag" feature after it loaded is still laggy on mac. It's kind of annoying that you have to wait for the animation to finish before you can continue dragging forward or backward. It seems to get stuck randomly where it takes 3 or 4 tries before I can drag again. Something is buggy.
3) I like the idea of having the photography be the "color" of the site, but I think you should change either the foreground color or the background color so the site itself stands out a bit more. Too much blue even with the photography.

the dragging doesn't work as one would expect it (mac, osX.. ff)
the color, animations and typography all scream 1999 @ best... you've done the imagery a disservice as it's now overwhelmed by all your 'designery' stuff.
- Really... Replace that drag function with buttons. Nobody likes to be confused with out of the ordinary interfaceayport
- Yeah, I has to double check the date of this thread when I looked at the site. VERY DATED.acrossthesea

we have it so you can move through the piece with the arrow keys as well but not sure how to let the user know this because they may already be overwhelmed with the drag and navigation
- Seems like your focusing way too much on clever navigation methods when the visuals are in dire need of help.acrossthesea
