Hi,

I just had my website running not long ago. I know that there are lots of people here who can help in providing me valuable feedback to improve my site.

Please comment on anything you can. It's a flash site, require flash player.

Many thanks for looking and the time to provide feedback.

It is OK. I don't like the way it opens in a pop up window. Also the pictures are taking quite long to load, so it takes awhile to go from pic to pic. I like the photos though, you have some nice styles going on there. Just takes abit of patience to get through the photos....

Thanks TiaS.

Yes, i agreed that the files are large in size and takes a while to load up. I hope to have a html size option at the splash page. This gives slower bandwith user a chance to see the site too.

cheers,
Scott

...and for those of us that hate Flash sites. ;)

I agree with TiaS....don't like having a pop-up window. I closed it before it loaded.

thanks Hikin Mike. I just removed the pop-up. The reason for the previous pop up is to allow the user to view the site in Full screen.

That's better.

I guess your using a splash page for SEO, correct? Read my SEO for the Photographer link in my sig. Since your using a splash page, you need to make it worth while to look at it. Right now it's boring and all it says is "Enter Flash Site". At least add a few pictures or something.

I took a look at your site. Besides Flash websites, I really hate music on a website and I generally leave rather than find the off button. It does load slowly for me too.

Hi Hikin,

Yes, i am using splash page for SEO. Your link is worth million.

Thanks, i will replace the "Enter Flash Site" with a picture or 2.

i am not a fan of the slow flash site. i dont mind flash sites as long as they are done well. each page takes a while to load (i dont have an amazing computer but its never been this slow for me due to your page) also not a fan of the busy background and all the negative space on some pages (about us, Contact us)

I hate the sloooooow load times, typical flash photographer site, and honestly the first image is not that great, pink opening screen does not help things either.
