the phoenix-wings look brilliant :thumb:

i think you could improve the "PhoenixFaithCreations"-Text a little, it's balanced and perfectly legible, but as an element of the whole design, it looks too simple to me.

iframe or flash: well, if you don't use more flash on the page, i guess iframes would be better, since it doesn't take a plug-in to watch them...

overall, it looks very good :)

i'd keep the text, as it connects the wings to your studio/agency, i just don't feel the font...

here's a suggestion in futura, but that's probably not your taste

futura, (as i said before ;)) ,the downside of it is that it is, or at least used to be, one of the 10 most used fonts in print ads...

this one is the futura from adobe's font folio 9.0

since you like it, you might wanna take a look at the font myriad pro too, it has a quite similar business feel and is more legible in larger amounts of text, which makes it more versatile for web layouts :)

I like it, but is there some way you can make that font clearer, It looks slightly pixelated. Other than that, super job

since you're using a .tk domain, it loads your site in a frame. look at the source, and you'll see. I think it messes up the pathing from flash. I've seen this happen with .tk domains before. Unfortunately, all the advice I can offer is to get a real host and domain. :(

.tk domains are not what they seem to be desire. Yes it was free from ads before but now it has built in ads. Its not even a domain anyway, a redirection. If you cant get a real host atm, these hosts would be better for you:

hostultra - www.hostultra.com (http://www.hostultra.com/)
T35 - www.t35.com (http://www.t35.com/)
Web1000 - www.web1000.com (http://www.web1000.com/) (running normal now after technicalities)

If you do got dough:
XeroHosting - www.xerohosting.com (http://www.xerohosting.com/) ($2.50/m for 500mb...etc) or you could even get sponsored by Unflux from your great work and get a domain :D


btw the site loads but not the links as said already. Improvements can be made to the site however. Watch your text with regards to the background, the font and especially your spelling and grammar because I notice that in some spots. :)
