Overall I think its good… Its not the more inspirational site, but it does the job… The only thing that really bothered me was the font…I think you could go for a more exciting font…just a bit ordinary… I’m not a big fan of colour either its a hard one to get right…wasn’t sure you did…but thats personal overall well done… postatomic:evil: ---

Well I find the menu a bit distracting. I can’t even put my finger on why. I think it’s a combination of a lot of things like, font, position and the way it has far to many sub sections to it. I also feel you have to many pop-ups. Nothing seems to be contained within your actual site. I’m not too sure what the site is about. It seems like it’s a personal site with the _photos_ and _find a trail_ buttons but then the _Vcoweb_ button says that you design websites [This button seems to disappear on roll over]. Personally I think you should either have it as a business site OR a personal site but NOT both. Make the navigation easier. Lose some of the subsections. Change the font to something that is crisper. Hope you don’t take any of this personally. It’s all just MHO after all. ---

I could not find anything that was not a pop up. The font was rather big and fuzzy. My advice is when you are using a hi rez picture you should back that up with a crisp font mayne a pixel font. Also please do yourself a favor lose the popups…Those are as annoying as the blink tag. Also make the font a lil smaller. Other than that this is a nice start ---

The thing that separates Flash from other web development tools is its ability to animate, and to animate well. Your site, though nicely done, lacks any substantial amount of animation. My suggestion is to do it with DHTML. The site could look exactly the same and you wouldn’t suffer from the negative impacts of Flash use. That’s the best advice I could give you!
