I like your flash interface! For me, I get sick of all the high intensity "in-your-face" flash navigation menus. Your site was a good change of pace. Clean, Functional, and Elegant.

Thumbs up.

Excellent website design. I especially like the crystal clear look of the images, and considering their high quality, the website loads very well to say the least I think that you put a lot of effort into the website and I will check back often to see the new updates.

As a minor suggestions, I highly recommend that you make the black border, perhaps, something more creative; maybe you could have an architectural blueprint (considering there is a lot of display of buildings, etc) as the border, but faint? I think that would be cool Again, it is just a minor suggestion, and I leave it up to you!

Keep it up!

Thanks for the comments. I was actually reconsidering a few things you mentioned:D

A preloader is in the works and the opening page are still being worked on as you obviously noticed. You're right the grass is out of place.It was indended to give a more appealing & fresh look to the page to draw people to my services. The other pages are supposed to give a more urban hip yet stressful look. I'm going to change that since people seem to noticed it's exclusion more than it's subconscious meaning.

I've played The Sims but never Sim City unfortunately.

All of the text on the site is going to be reviewed by a friend of mine soon because I'm not much of a writer. Also the content font is going to be replaced by a more crisp "just for Flash" font to improve legibility.

Thanks for the comments! It was very constructive!

I just merged two threads together here since there was a dupe (and changed the thread title according to the posting aggreement)

About the flash plug-in thing - I wanted to mention that you could probably publish this as a lower version of flash since most people probably haven't upgraded yet. I didn't see anything that requires v. 6 but maybe I'm wrong about that. Publishing at a lower version would solve Busy's problem, anyway (and many others, for sure, although it is just a 2 second download - literally - so I didn't have a problem with upgrading here)

Not too bad loading on a 56k, but you should try to add some sort of a preloader or something - I just got an ugly white screen while the other elements were loading.

I definitely think that the front page should say a little more to explain what the site is about, rather than just the logo and flash detection.

Are you a fan of Sim City by any chance? The home page really reminds me of their opening screen. I do really like the design - the page transitions are cool, and I like the way the page title moves up from the menu. I do like the photos, and the theme you've set up throughout the site, but what's with the grass? It seems really out of place with all the urban/subway pictures on other pages.

Oh your services page, you might want to do more to explain to your potential clients what you can do for them. They're probably not going to know what all those acronyms mean, so you should also provide a bit of an explanation... something along the lines of helping them to do business better etc. Point out how you can make their business more effective (without using too much biz-speak/jargon).

Moving it along to critiques, since that's what you're asking for.

Yes, there'll be a HTML/DHTML version up shortly.

I don't have the flash6 plugin (and don't want it) so I can't view your site - sorry,
Do you plan on offering a html version?
