Can you handle one more website critique?

Just a few little things I still need to sort through but just about finished

I can't stand full flash sites but I would loose the camera background, center the site and possibly use a red border and maybe change the page body color to something other than white.

- The page size is too large, not everybody is surfing full screen
- On the 'About' page it's difficult to read the text; long text on image = evil ;)
- The 'Contact' form may look better without round corners, and the image on the right is too bright (gets much more attention than the contact form itself).
- Don't use an repeated image as the background
- The Image scroller is a bit slow.. What about 'one click to scroll 3 images'?
- The HTML page should have a black background color and the Flash object should be centered

I don't have a problem with all flash sites. It is fine for companies that don't need help getting their name out on the web. Flash isn't search engine friendly, your content won't get spidered since its embeded and your site consists of just an index page. Most flash sites I'm on I get annoyed with the music or the time it takes to load the content with all of transitions, etc.

I am not a pro by any means but a quicky on your opening page. The central image took at least 15 seconds to load. I don't like nested menus though I can see the advantage in terms of organizing a page. If I have to listen to someones musical choice while trying to figure out how to navigate their site I go nuts. If I can't find the stop button in 5 seconds I kill the site. That's me however.

Once the page has loaded and is working the imagery takes over and that looks nice. If you could get all that to load faster it would incredibly beneficial. I am wondering how many people are willing to wait for the opening page to load.
