    Hi everyone, i would like to get some comments about the design of a small website i just uploaded.
    Please check if the buttons on top work well for you, a friend of mine said the clickeable area was not in the same place as the button's text.

    All comments/suggestions welcome
    Thanks in advance :)

    Not much to say other than it looks fantastic! I tried the buttons and everything was spot on. Excellent work!

    The flash takes way too long to load. You won't get much search engine traffic, because they hate all flash sites. Make sure the restaurant phone number is in text on the home page - seriously, that is all I ever want from a restaurant home page.

    Very professional. I would recommend, however, a couple of changes. On the home page, there is no link or identifiable place on the page to click . . . everyone here knows to click the image but casual web users are accustomed to clicking links. Secondly, while the scroll design fits the website theme . . . it may not be intuitive for some web users. You don't want ANY web users to leave your website because he/she did not know how to access the information. You're off to a great start. Best of luck!

    Very nice but I would recommend an html version for search engines.

    I absolutely agree with this. You also need to put the email address on there too (not just a form).

    I immediately close Flash sites unless I desperately need information from the site. I think you should add an html site too, even it's bare bones.

    I like the 'grungy' feel to it.

    But as said above, it took ages to load for me.

    Slow load for me, and the text over the background image made for a difficult read.

    Thanks for your comments guys, i just finished adding the real content.

    Thanks, i don't promote it i don't expect any traffict from search engines, that's why the site was made in flash. It's more of an image thing.

    PNG graphics are heavy and if i chose to compress them they get fuzzy :(

    There is no phone because there is no physical restaurant :p.
    The service consists of a cheff for parties and special events.
    I think there should be a phone anyway but the client doesn't want to receive calls.

    I will consider that one, thanks

    I'll try to add a preloader and see if i can compress some graphics.
    Thanks everyone!
