We just put this site up axiasnowboards.com (http://axiasnowboards.com). I did a bunch of the look and feel and flash work. They're a brand new online board shop. So you order your board online and they'll make it and send it to you. Check it out. Any thoughts, critiques, gripes are most welcome.

Thanks

i like the overall look ... but i think some stuff was completely unreadable. Lots of the stuff is also too blurry. But i like the overall design kinda reminds me of kawasaki.com

The idea is nice, however I would have employed some motion and made it more colourful.

if u want to be able to pull off the mirrored look on the header, u need to make the reflection gradient go dark to light so that it looks like it is a corner or whatever...

I think you're trying to mix two styles that are very hard to mix in a tasteful manner. The hard cut off of the clean/smooth peice right to the faux-grunge borders isn't working for me. I think you'd be a lot better off sticking with one style.

thanks again for everyone's comments. does anyone have any specific thoughts about the board section specifically? is it confusing? too complicated? too simple? too boring? what would you like to see in a build your own board tool?

We are now looking at redesigning or making significant changes to this: build a board (http://www.axiasnowboards.com/boards). What we are doing now is collecting feedback. So please please rip this thing to shreds! We want to know what YOU want this to look like.

Here's the link: board builder (http://www.axiasnowboards.com/boards)

Thanks very much to anyone who can help out on this!
