Website Opinions Please


Hello everyone,
I just registered here and would like some opinions on my website. I threw this site together and would like some opinions so I know where changes are needed. There are some area's such as the products and gallery that are not set up yet as i could'nt decide how to set up. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brandon

Re: Website Opinions Please


Since you are still working on it I will let you finish but I see you are using some flash in the header. On my (very old generation) 2.4 GHz PC this takes up about 20% of the CPU.

That is ok but your flash header is above your graphical/picture header and will be displayed on every page not just the home page.

If you have the flash on only the home page then it will be shown when the user first comes to the site but will not be displayed when they are viewing the inner pages.

Do more with less.
You have way to many features and places to go. Don't confuse your customer, give them a few places to get key info about your company and then direct them to contact you.

I agree. It also feels broken up and no consistency, header images all have a different style and size etc.
