Very nice site!!!!! but may i ask how big it is in total?

It took a while for each section to load. i found quite slow even for a flash site but this could be down to the server being busy or what not.

How long have you been using Flash?

the files is small, the slowdown might be due to my hosting company. Hosting is not cheap in my country and the service usually sucks.......

anyway, are you able to see all the pages? I've been doing flash for about a year or so..........

The submission form;

- a small detail, but the tab index is off. When you tab after the 'website' field, it should go to the comments field next, but it goes to the 'Submit' button.

- after you have submitted the form, the balloon that tells you the form has gone through just stays there. Perhaps it would be better for the user to have the balloon disapear once clicked on.

The Portfolio;

- when you click on a sample, the completed loading bar appears once the images are loaded, but there is no indication of loading in progress.

Other than that, looks good! Nice calming music :-)

site is diesigned extremely well with the name in mind , and thats a BIG PLUS POINT .. but why do ppl always make the enter button sooooooo small and difficult to find ( well I must say it goes with the name ! :) )

tell me you have taken ou influences from http://www.vectorize.de/ , i think it was thier older site . similar bg and transitions, but your site is equally well done. the bird is vivid . ( loved that the best ) service page


trashy music , kind of boring , can definitely do better , now that you have come sooo far :) ... all the best !

Hi Karat,

Thanks for your comment and thanks for pointing out vectorize.de to us. we have never been to that site before thus, I don't think we are influence by them but as usual with website, we tend to see similiar kind of effects now and than.

Sorry about the small enter though :D Happy to know that you like my bird, the idea is not original but my bird is :p

cheers

No problem. Allow me to clarify;

When looking at the items in the portfolio, it looks like the preloading movie clip is not showing (the clip that shows the progress bar reaching 100%). The only thing it looks like it's showing is the completed bar once the image has loaded.

I hope that explains it better. :-)

I like the page transitions a lot.
They are very pro
Only they seem to go a little long or slow
I am on DSL and a fairly fast cpu but it was slow for me.
Maybe your frame rate was low??? are you using 30+? fps.

One more thing I can see you are very talented and artistic and a great Flasher, BUT your logo (the cave man with stick)
I think you can do way better
I love the concept! but the logo is thin and looks out of place

It looks amature compared to rest!

Maybe to help beef the logo up you can use the old text book
image of the ape turning into the man You know the one where it shows him walking into the present.

You would do well to redo it.
I mean it in the nicest way.

I am assuming that the writing on the beginning and on the background throughout that is written in a lighter green than the background is strictly a design element, and not intended to be read? It just bothers me that I cannot read it, and I got closer to my monitor to try to read it, now I have a headache from being that close to such a bright color.
