Hello all,
the Graphics guy at my company has built a new site and I think it is really nice.

Could you please check it out and leave comments on usability and overall appearance.

The URL is



thanks

Hi,

I think it is a nicely done site. Looks good and sounds good but overall it has one very big flaw. The overhead on it is a killer! I had to wait more than 3 min on a broadband connection for it to load. A dial up user would most likely never wait for it to load before moving on. In fact broadband users won't wait that long either.

It very badly needs to be optimized for at least a 56k connection.

On the positive side I think the intro movie is very fluid and nicely done. Ditto for the menus. Nicely done.

Overall great concept in need of major streamlining. Get the file size down and you have a winner.

Just my two cents.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
 
WOW, 3 minutes. I would check your ISP (the usual response).
Seriously, I have dsl and it took about 20 seconds.

I will talk to him about the size.

We are not so concerned about people without broadband as Our target audience are companies and businesses that almost certainly have broadband

thanks for the input

Well it is very possible I was having trouble w/ my DSL. (Been having some noise in the phone line every now and then).

It loaded beautifully at work. Very fast. My apologies for the comment. If broadband is your target then I think you've hit the nail on the head.

(sometimes the standard response is the good response :))

Good job!

Once the advertisement is over it's very nice. The advertisement is cool, but... if i were looking to purchase your software i wouldn't really care about my browser shaking or not, unless you have reports that shake.... that would be cool.
