could someone review my site

    I'm almost finished with this, but now I have some doubts about the design and functionality of the site.
    besides the fact that it is made mostly with tables, and that I need some more work on the CSS sheet (and the PNG opacity in IE), what do you think of the overall functionality.

    I like it but I think it takes too long to load, there might be something wrong with my browser so I wonder if others are having the same problem

    Too many animated images could slow down your page loading time, if you consider to draw heavy traffic then images especially animated images should reduce.

    thank you very much.
    I'm not sure how much visitors they are counting on, but probably not to many.
    guys from Handicap asked for a lot of animated stuff so I guess this was minimum that I could go with.
    yes. the page takes a lot to load. I'm aware. that's why I'm asking for this. although I optimized flash and done it almost completely in vectors, they are loading longest.

    G`day shporet,

    flash on the homepage? It loaded then .............................. :confused: ... lol ... I was waiting for something, like being redirected to the "homepage" but that fella just kept throwin` the hay .. ;) I thought the image of the man with the mine detector was actually playing hockey ... lol ... :rolleyes:

    Perhaps you could put some wording with it, I had no idea what the site was about ... just a little hint for people.

    Clicked through to index2 and yeah, it took time to load but i`m not on the fastest connection, at least I could read something while it finished loading. A worthy cause your promoting to ... well done and the site is very neat and appealing, some of the images aren`t showing though and it`s management ... not menagment

    Anyway, looks good and please give my regards to the team from this Aussie if possible, without these brave people the world would really be a lot more dangerous ... Stay Safe ;)

    Christopher J.

    I am not a fan of flash landing pages in general. This one offers nothing for the visitor to indicate what the site is about or what the visitor should now do other than watch the kids run in place and the farmer throw some hay. That gets a little tired after a couple minutes.

    1)
    I don't like the flash landing page
    It's really annoying to have to click somewhere to proceed

    2)
    Menu items overlap each other (in my browser - IE7)

    3)
    Don't like the layout much - it's just not interesting
    If I'd found the site I'd be out of there quickly because I wouldn't want to waste time deciding if it had content I wanted to view...
    Look at competitors sites in same field - how do they make it interesting?
