Hi,
I’m rebuilding my site. The contents are not ready at the moment.
I want to know what do you think about layout, colors, fonts etc.

looks cool, although the page takes forever to “set up” maybe have all of the transitions going at once or something.

I hate pixel fonts, they’re just too darn small. Why the heck is everybody trying to go for the futuristic boring 2a look of the past?
Anyways, I thought your design was alright, but not very original in concept. Your site doesn’t take up the entire browser, limiting your viewer and causing them to strain their eyes trying to decipher your information.
Your animations play way too slow and repetative. Take your menu for example, the boxes come in from the right, one after the other in the same fashion, taking a total of 40 seconds. Most “loading phase” animations of other sites take a total for 10 seconds. ( which in my opinion is too long also. )
Sorry if this all seemed harsh, I’m in a bad mood today.

I wouldn’t rebuild the whole thing, just modify it to take advantage of everything that would make it easier to use. Such as, larger layout that’s both longer and wider, not just just a box in the middle of the screen. larger text, quicker, smoother animations, and different animations for each section’s loading phase.
These are just my thoughts, whose to say I’m right.

i think you use 1152X864 resolution or wider. I optimized the size for mainly 1024X768 and 800X600 resolution. May be using a larger font will solve the problem.
