Hi. So it's been a while, and I finally done smt like this.

http://www.wgtour.com/bohner/druid_page/

There About Us and Services sections aren't yet finished, but will be in a while. Im a little worried that I overdid a little the folio and contact sections. What do you think ?

It's all overdone in the sense that it takes FOREVER to get anywhere. The little splash takes forever to simply tell me I need Flash, then the same thing happens on the page once you click enter, that disappears, then it takes forever to get a little design to pop up. It is slow and really confusing.

I finally figured out the nav is in the bottom, but there is no text (it's all just black). Overall it was too time consuming, people will leave before they see the content I'd guess. Good flash though, I guess.

Could you make a screenshot of how you see it ?

I honestly couldn't get anything to display until I read Tony's post.

Perhaps a nice demonstration of your flash skills, but as a website for people to navigate? Useless...

Oh, yes, this is going to be wild.

I didn't have a problem seeing the page. It's very slick, but you should have a default page, as when the site loaded it was just an empty box with a nav at the bottom, you should have the about page show up at first.

Erm.... I honestly can't find anything. The first time feels like wading through treacle, it's painfully slow and I'm on 2.5meg broadband. How are you supposed to get to the information? I ended up with a column of blank sqaures that showed a big image when you clicked on them. A proper menu would really help.
Once that's sorted out, then I'll be able to properly critque the site.
P.S. Colours and layout etc are all pretty good.

Mayby you guys don't have Flash 8 Player ? Cause the site runs fine on my 3 computers, and the whole site is about 520KB.

They are probably using Firefox, which does not automatically update Flash Player, or ask you to update, they will have to go to macromedia.com and update it manually.

Here's a screenshot, along with a timer on how long it took to get to that point for me. I use Mac OSX with Safari 2.0.1.

Tony do you have Flash 8 Player?
