Nice, but a couple of tweaks would really help. First why have the first page with just the logo? It doesn't really seem to serve any purpose. Second, make sure that the background of the Flash Movie location is black to match everything else, it'll keep those annoying white flashes from happening. The only other (small) nitpick is the "Express Yourself" text at the bottom, it seems like you could find a more interesting font for that. Other than that, very nicely done.

Musics a little annoying. Maybe have it off when the site starts and let the user turn it on later if they want.

Make the rollover sound on your main nav something less of a sharp sound. Maybe make the nav just a bit larger also.

Nice site, same with strat just a few nitpicks, other than that its easy to use and nice.

I think you should combine the logo page with the language page. I think that would look fine, maybe place a hairline between the logo and the language choices. I have my sound shut off, so I don't know if the music is obnoxious or not, but I think it's also better to ask the user whether they want to enter with or without sound. If this is for buyers with a lot of money, they're likely viewing the site from work in a stealth manner and music would give it away that they are shopping.

Kill the sound altogether. It's not helping the site. Two splash screens is a bit inefficient.

The navigation at the beginning is neat, but the transition in looks really blurry and jittery.

Yeah I think it's all right, just needs a few refinements as suggested. I'm not sure on the logo that pops up at the start. I just stared at it for a few seconds, I thought it was flash and was about to say 'loading' but it did nothing till I clicked through. That was a bit confusing, perhaps destroy that first image splash page.

I think the fades are a bit too long, and yeah, destroy the music.

Thanks for all the nice critique.


i did the following:

Added an option to launch the website with no sound at all.
Added new language, and corrected som minor errors.

The thing with the splash screen at the beginning is only for google to be able to see the page when you search for "Muwo".

If its not there, the site dont show up.
It would be nice if you have some other solution to this?

Can i make the Gif logo from the splash screen, with no link on it, and then the language selection flash, on the same page? You know. Combine them like Doctor_funk said ?, Half HTML, half Flash?

Edit:

Added New more minimalistic sounds
Added New Music

agree with "darkmotion" - specially on the "two splash screens" along with the "blurry transition" - overall though, it's a great site don't get me wrong. :D

why do you need 2 splash screens?:|
although the main site looks cool, usability-wise, i'd improve it.

oh and change the buttons on the main page. they don't fit quite well;)

Hi!

I would fix the fonts used on the product description pages... They take away from the design.

That's complete nonsense, it's just an image. Ensure you have the correct meta in the main page and it will show up, or if you're really worried use SWFAddress deeplinking.

I think the site needs a lot of design work to be really nice. The way it is now it's just ok IMO not good enough to sell your products.

I'm curious to how this is powered? Because really if it's database driven you pretty easily just make the initial website a shopping cart.

The shopping section has a bunch of things wrong with it as far as development (I'm guessing some css issues) so it would turn me away personally.

I think if you put the time into eventually this could be a really nice site. Good job though and best of luck in your business.

The Shop, is actually one of the best Webshops in the world, and is not a shop i made for my self.

I bought that one..

The thing where you can press "Buy this item" simply links to the webshop, which is on another domain.
