Like the site virt2002...interesting, but nice...
Ok, a few comments:

1) The main page scrolls ever so slightly down, try to get it all to fit in one page...

2) Under stylings, you have the image slide show...i'm not too thrilled it with a popup for that, can you just have the images load on the main window?? You have a small box that is in the center that describes the styling page, just have the image slide show appear in its place...
Other then that, the site looks nice...
As for adding this site to your portfolio, i'd say YES!! Why?? Well, the Flash animations is good, and the site is wicked (kinda wierd, but wicked)...

BTW, I viewed the site in win98SE on an IE6 PC... I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...
 
thanks alot..

very impressive virt,
I thought of two things.
the count down script in the popup could be a little better.
it stated 161:22:22
maybe a format like
161 hours 22 minutes and 22 seconds would be a little better format
the navigation bar.
when you mouse over and the discxription comes up the words are a little difficult to read being a small font in white over the images. maybe make it a little larger of a more disinct color.
I viewed it in IE6 winXPpro 1024*768 res.

I help at your own risk, if I brake it sorry! But if I fixed it, let me know.[thumbsup2]

Hi mate,

I like it overall but there were a few things I noticed..

Using 1024 resolution the main page is left aligned, it would look better centered.

Also, personally I don't like the navigation. I like to see the options in front of me and hate it when I am forced to mouseover the links to read what they are.

Hope this helps Wullie

The left aligned is 800/600..Target market will be mostly at this res..That's why I did that..

The nav, it works well, wullie your just an old html junkie set in your ways..But it's fine for a flash site..And flash will sell to there target, or else I would have went html..But that is what they requested..

Thanks alot..

Hi virt2002,

The overall site looks quite nice. The content, a bit weird, but oh well.

About your background. First, this is what you said:
"Target market will be mostly at this res"

So if you are concerned with that, then why did you make the fading in the first place. People can't even see the fading when viewing the site at that res, it is pointless. If you want to still keep the grid though and use wullie's suggestion about centering, then the solution is very simple and quite obviuos. Attach the grid as part of the movie. As it stands that background is 1280*1280 pixels and is 16.5 kb. If you isolate only the part that you need of the grid and erase the middle section of the grid picture where the site overlays on top, you will get the grid effect and reduce the overall file size for the site. You can even add a slight fade to the outside of the whole image and get the fading to appear on all four corners. I think that might look nicer.

Hope this helps! NATE
