Your feedback is appreciated

Hi all,

I have not completed this website as their is more content on the way however, I thought it would be a good idea to get opinions from other folks in the business. Below is the following link. It is still on a testing server....

Question About Intro??

Thank you for your reply.

How long did it take until you didn't bother viewing the intro (i.e. 30 sec, 1 min)?

I would say lose the intro, as it takes about 30 seconds to load, and lasts for 10. Not really worth the wait. If you do plan to keep it, add the skip button to the load screen, so people aren't forced to wait.

I left after about 20 seconds, which was at 25%.

I decided to wait for it this time and I timed it - 1m 50s. It REALLY shouldn't take that long for a few images and some text. How big is the SWF file?

The actual site looks ok, it loads fast and is easy to use. You should probably remove the name thing, it just wastes time and has no advantage to the site.

The header should probably loose the white glow as well, it looks detached from the rest of the page.

btw, I'm using a Cable connection, so if the intro takes more time to load than it takes to play, then remove it.

Totaly agree about the load time on the intro get rid of it, also the font is terrible, change to say verdana or arial, it just looks out of place at the moment.

There is a skip button on the lower left corner of the page. Should I make it more visible?

Hi SB_GEMINI,

I am already using a verdana/arial font (size 2) in this website. Which browser are you using?

Thanks Rowan W.

I am going to revisit the flash part of it. I have a feeling I may have coded the preloaded page incorrectly.

There is no skip on the preload. That is what I am referring to.
