Whats with the load times? They take forever how large are your files?
Your buttons dont load right or that was just an server error.

hmm I agree with templarian, not the fastest load times I've seen. I know, the splash is a big image, but half way through I would've probably quit. Anyway, i like your introduction transition, how the logo shines then opens up, but that could've been a bit faster. I'm still waiting for the intro to load. Okay about ten minutes later it finished loading, and I dont really think it was worth the wait. The pixelated fonts at that size are difficult to read and it doesnt 'captivate' me. The voice echoing eventually got annoying. Another long load time on the main site so I'm not going to watch it. Nice work though, its not bad.

Uhm, well it doesn't work on Firefox for me.

I don't like it very much, not much of a design. The intro is waaaay too long, after 4 pics I caught myself searching for the "skip intro" button, which ain't good. The site itself looks very 90ies, which means a bit outdated.


The only thing I liked is the "GATE 4" that you ripped from the D-Devils ... :) That put a smile on my face.

do some tutorials, build up your skills, ask for advice, start threads on things you want to know, search the forums, get insperation off of 'site of the week' then try working with the site some more :)

1. All I get in Firefox is a screen that says "ATM" and links to the macromedia site. You have a bad flash detector. I had to look at the source to find main.html.

2. The pixel font is ridiculously large and also blurry.

Alright where do I start. Lets go from the beginning and work our way through. The good news is the splash page is the best part of the whole site. However, you got three different types that don't match or go together. The logo is lame. The croked w is stupid. I don't mind it connecting, but straighten it out. The circle surrounding it is pretty unoriginal. The intro sucks balls. It's painfully slow, and pointless. I don't learn anything about the company. It's just a waste of time. Now once I get to the site, thank jeewhiz you have a stop button on the mp3 player. Now I thought the logo bouncing on the clouds was kinda neat, but there is now reason for a shadow if it's in mid air. The spinning logo in the corner skips a bunch of frames. Now what I really really hate, is when I got to look at another section I have to go through another preloader! And the thing is completely changed. No consistency. And the music restarts! Now the about page has this bad picture of you I guess. It's really weird and pixely. The wallpaper is pretty decent. Overall I just hate your website. Too many annoying sounds and preloaders, and just bad design. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, but you asked for it.

My file are all 950 kB big and the intro 1400 kB.

And you're wright about the buttons. I'll change that.

Thanks:)

I'm giving you a normal, but it should be a bad, because as a designer or design company as you state it, it lacks in the design category. Seems like an older flash site I would have seen back in '98 or something. Not being harsh, just trying to give you some feedback you can use and take with you so that you can work that out and come back with a site that is actually design driven.
