Notice from BuffaloHELP:

Topic title modified.

The enter page looks cool and all with the flash stuff but the text is boring, I'd suggest using a diffrent font and something not so plain.

The actual home page looks good, nice and flashy.

You seem to offer quite a flash stuff which I'm not too familiar with flash so you'll probably want reviews elsewhere when it comes to that, but from what I seen it looks good.

Intro looks cool, and I like the look of the site, but clicking on the links causes my pop-up blocker to go off in Mozilla Firefox 1.5. That might put off visitors, many of which like me, associate pop-ups with spyware.

 

The brown page with all of the templates, looks nothing like the front page. You might want to go with a consistent design for all of your pages, except ones which you really really want to make stand out. Maybe you could do a flash intro which looks similar to your brown pages, or change the brown pages to make the home, as the intro looks professional.

Some typos I noticed.....Home: useful, not "usefull"Templates: which, not "wich" hottest, not "hotest"Flash Intros: which, not "wich" In the part where it says "wich you can use them as an introduction..." get rid of the word "them" so it's just "which you can use as an introduction..."Flash Games: built, not "builded"Guestbook: Where it says "be so kind to leave..." change it to "be so kind as to leave" (more formal) or "be kind enough to leave" (less formal). I would suggest using the less formal option with a fun site.Other thoughts:A lot of people use a popup blocker to surf, so don't rely on popup windows. Most people do not like them, and think they're annoying. I didn't even see what was in the popup windows, since I keep my popup blocker on all the time. I don't like flash personally, so I can't really comment on that part of the site, except to say the background part of it looked nice. I think I've seen it somewhere before online, as a gallery to post user-made pictures in at some site. Having a flash splash page leading into your site is not really necessary, the site background looks better. Also, a lot of people find splash pages annoying, especially flash ones. It made me a bit dizzy. Don't submit the splash page to search engines, their bots can't click to enter and spider your site. I don't know if they can get through a flash site like yours anyway. Be sure and have a non-flash site map just in case. But a bot will probably read the site as a bunch of empty pages if it can't check out the flash anyway, and not list you. I'm not sure.

whoa that flash is crazy its good though, you create that all on ur own, that is great stuff. Personally i always thought flash was hard. Something that let you down though is the fonts, the fonts make it look kinda boring just thought id let you know.

I think the intro and all looks good however, i never have been a fan of flash intros. I have always felt like they just get in the way of the content that people are looking for. In your case, i think it does make sense though since it is more of a link to all your different websites. Keep of the work cause the designs are really cool but double check your spelling.

The intro is really good, but I dont see why your main page is in flash. I think it should be in html the way you have the page. It has its bad sides to it such as the pop ups which kept me from viewing more of the site. I think if you are going to leave your page in flash, then you should make it worth having flash, try adding life to it. Animate the menu, buttons and everything on your page, just like your intro. Also I recommend fixing the gray gradient you used in the interface, I think it could look better. Well these are my opinions, I do not intend to offend in anyway, I just hope it helps you build a better site. A must though, is the elimination of the popups.

Personally, I don't really like the Flash intro, as after looking at it for a while it can be a little annoying, and it's really pointless. I never understood why people had to click to enter a site they've already typed the address of. The main section of the site looks alright, but it is annoying having to click to go to the sections stored somewhere else. Also, they follow a totally different design and theme to the Flash section of the site. It looks like they are two totally separate websites, which is never a good idea. There are also some design problems with that, as at the bottom of each of the pages there is a massive gap, presumably caused by some CSS that isn't standards compliant. After finishing browsing around your site I was left with 6 or 7 tabs in Opera to close, which is quite annoying and unnecessary, why not just stick to the one window?Overall you've got the right idea, but there are a few niggling little bugs you should really sort out.

Thanks guys.Very usefull reviews. Thanks to all.

I really liked your site a lot. I especially liked the background on all of your pages. The site was pretty much perfect except for one thing. I clicked on some of your links and they were dead. You might want to fix that before you do anything.

The flash intro is very cool, although a bit disturbing after a while. I don?t like the counter, I think that is not a common feature of professional websites. I don?t care how many people have visited a website before me.The website itself looks good, great background, but the text may be a little boring, yes. It?s cool anyway, but it can be improved.

the home flash site looks really nice...but when i looked into your flash intro page all teh intros are very very similar...not much of a distinct difference because what if someone needed a different color theme...yours only stuck with a white and blue theme...needs more color mixing and more interaction with the whole page instead of just one section of the pageand each page that i went to totally didnt have any similarity to your home site...i figure if u were to have links to different pages that you would just have the same flash template layout but just change the context of the page...becuase the home page certainly does look alot better than your other pages...why not keep it...

whooooa didnt want to press enter lol it was soooo cool all the links are broken to the vist here or w/e i wanted to see more lolvery nice and fluid A+++ lol

I agree that the site looks rather well. One thing that I would change in my opinion would to boost up the frame rate in your flash animation; it will make things look and seem much smoother and make the whole site look better. I also agree with what somebody else said: the fonts are a little boring. Maybe you should consider spicing them up a little. Besides those two things, I honestly think that you did an exceptional job on the site. I wish you the best of luck and let us know if you make any changes or updates or if you have any more questions or need any more opinions.

I love the site design. Just one suggestion though, I think it's too...what's the word...blank. Maybe you could add more "color" to the site. Great flash work! May I ask how long you have been working with flash?
