My Site

[squishiful]

This is my site, so far, I'm not sure I like the way it looks. So tell me what you think.

PS. I won't be keeping that enter page it doesn't look right.

I thought your logo was a piece of popcorn at first...I think the site is pretty dull, and doesnt have much personality right now. The transitions are kinda expected, and I wish the popup would open the in center of my screen. I would say the best part for me is the piece of popcorn.

Yeah it does need a bit of color

[unchew]

It need a higher frame rate.

Okay man nice site, but can make it better !

fix your entry splash page make the file a gif, with a transparent background I can still see the box around it the color of it is not like the real html background color and it looks very low quality just make it a bit more better so you don`t see the pixels.

entering the site, is simple cool use of transitions you did use a bit more coding with AS, I like the use of it, you just have to make the content color more personal and professional looking with a cool match of using them.

At menu after pressing still don`t know where I´m at first time, make the frames per second a bit faster, at home page I cannot see or understand what your site is all about, the logo do not express that much of what you really do.

for such a small sized of window and site, I should use pixel font, rather than a normal default font, to make the visitor more to like it, and a personal feel to it not a default look at font.

fix again logo behind the main menu, its a bit over the content, maybe change its place,

change the background image to more focussed image to focus on site content.

center site content at the pop up, (maybe remove popup) many have pop up blockers these days !

there was not much inner content, simple box with text, try to use more of photoshop.

I like the background images, and I know that your next version will be much better.

Good luck and Good work ! I like it really !

not bad, man

That boxed logo-symbol in the preloaders looks amateuristic (sp?) Make it symbol only, lose the box around it.

hmm I think this site has potential. The feel of the backgrounds and such dont really go well with the logo in my opinion. As someone who usually has around 20 or so windows open, I dont really like sites that pop up in new windows. That also might conflict with some pop up blocker or whatever, I wouldnt know. Like I said earlier, this has potential, so keep at it.

Honestly, your site makes me feel depressed. I get a bad vibe just looking at it. You need some color, and you need to really rethink the logo, I can't tell if it's popcorn or a cloud, or what. And it doesn't say anything about you. Looks like clip art. And the only place it says element design is on the first page? And it's just a plain font?

well from a strictly flash/as point of view i think youve done a great job! i like all the movement and what not. i think if you just rethink the overall aestheics, the look and feel basically, you'll have yourself a pretty swinging site!

i found it lifeless and kinda dull, maybe a new logo would look better. I would pull the bakcground out completly and use the images as the baground, i would have them faded a little more though they seem to take up themain focus of the site.

The menu doesnt seem to go with anything, the text is too big and blurred for me aswell, and the logo sticks out like a sore thumb. I would make the window a little wider and higher, but not too much but it too seems small.

Thanx for all the ideas!

Why a pop-up window for the site??

Personally I do not see the need for that - just have it load in a normal page.
Why a splash page - it is not needed.
