Hi, I know a lot of people here don't like flash sites, but have a look anyway, the loading time is ridiculously small.... Click here to view Hope you enjoy, and please let me know if you spot any bugs . Cheers, Greg
The site looks good. I'm a huge fan of flash I actually use it myself. However, if you are going to have a flash site I think you should have an html version as well not only for seo purposes but just because many people do not like flash so it gives them another option.
Nice toy, looks pretty, but: Search engines don't work well with flash, so don't expect to high SERP rankings. Same goes for statistics software. It took me a while to figure out, that those dancing blue pills are actually not an intro, but already the content. Thats a sure fire thing to loose impatient visitors. Moving site navigation? Are you serious?! I have huge problems spotting the item I want, let alone clicking it. Sorry to tell you, but that design is pretty much a no go if you want visitors.
It's nice but there's a few things I think you should look at. If the site was a live site, how would I know what it's about from the first page? All I see is the links to other pages. Maybe have a box load up at the top with the company name/logo and a description underneath? When I click to go to another page, the only way to get back home is to click the title of the page that just got me there. Include a 'Back' or 'Home' link on each page. I also think that you should make the boxes on each page slightly bigger, as at the moment you only see an image then the first 2 lines of text before you need to scroll. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the comments guys, but God! is it all about SEO? I don't think it's any close to perfect but let's have a bit of fun! This is intended to be a creative Flash portfolio, by definition it is not meant to be SEO friendly, and dare I say it, who cares? If fact the main purpose of this site is to be easily updatable without getting into Flash. It is fully XML driven and most parameters can be changed in Notepad. I agree the navigation can be surprising but I wanted something crazy ! Thanks again for the comments
Yes I know Bodger, I did take your comments on board...I should have mentioned. It is true the navigation could do with a bit of work.... Cheers
Unless you have a large advertising budget...YES, it is ! What is the purpose of this site ? Do you plan on making any money with it, or is it just for fun ?
Hi, thanks for your comment. This is not intended for the mass audience or to attract as many visitors as possible. I was more thinking of a portfolio, to be seen by people who already have decided to see it...
Oh...well in that case.. Rock On ! Then that would be appropriate. I still am not crazy about the Smokey navigation blobs, but as a portfolio site , I think it would work very well.
