This is just a layout, no preloaders, no plug-in check and I need some harsh critique please. Tell me what you like and what you don’t like.

To quote the client: “. . . a high speed computer and X-Box gaming center. . . Counter Strike tournaments or Halo tournaments”.

You’ve lost some quality on your images. Might want to check that out because its very visible.

Very true, the “silver dragon” is from an Illustrator drawing and then imported into Swift3D. I probably should spend the time to draw it in Swift3D (I already put 6 hours into this second prototype).

The boxes are from Photoshop and I will redo those when approved.

Thanks very much! 🙂

With nothing showing that the site was loading, I had no idea there was anything on the site until it was fully loaded. I have a 56K connection, so that’s why it was slower to load.

Sorry about that, that’s why I posted that it had no preloaders and was about 65KB.

I share your dial-up pain, I connect at 36K most of the time! :\*(

So what were your thoughts on it? Thanks.

Well, a person having a screen resolution of 800X600 is going to have to side scroll to view all of your imformation. However, I have a feeling your target audience is going to have a big enough screen resolution. You should use Netstryke in your title tag instead of main.

yeah, our survey showed that more than 80% had 1024 or greater

yeah, title tag, it’s just a temp site for the client to approve

I’ll post again this weekend after I make drastic changes!
