Hey ppl,  
I submitted this before, but the javascript launch wasn’t working for most, this should be fixed now plus more complete in general.  
I am very grateful for any feedback, but I already know that I need to get an ad-free server, just getting the cash together.  
Thanks, link:

I think you have a very conceptual layout here and it has potential, but as for professionalism and a clean look, I think it could use a lil more work.

First off, I don’t know what you have a layout in a pop-up window, pop ups makes your site less attractive so you might want to have it just regular or atleast give the user the option of having it pop-up or regular.

Your navigation is really cool with the sliding thingy, but the text on it is a bit bg for my taste I also noticed you used a serif style font for your content which doesn’t go well with your layout, I think a san serif stylie font like arial or verdana would be more suitable and maybe reduce the size don’t a notch or two would look better too.

That ball that could be tossed around is a nice touch, it adds a bit of interactivity to your layout so that’s cool, but I don’t like the red ring around it, I think it would look better with out it.

And last, I think you should add in some transitional effects between the sections so when a user clicks on something it will be a smoother transition instead of just jumping back and forth.

Good luck and I hope you’ll post your work again. =)

Thanks for your input guys.  
eGeek:{think I should take note since you just won SOTW congrats}  
I’ll take all your comments under consideration(and probably use them all) and maybe post back once I’ve improved things a little.  
Thanks again.

I like the background very much, it’s well done, but I don’t like that ball thinggy. I don’t think it brings much to the site :-\  
Also, as EG said, you should work a bit on the way you present your texts.

I got about 4 - 5 pop up windows when I opened it up, so if there’s any way you can get rid of those…

It’s not your fault - I know adverts are a problem on some places like geocities etc…

Not bad. Liked the menu but hated the text used and make it smaller. The ball thing was neat but it got in the way of the scroll bar when i tried to click it. I would maybe thing about a differnt background as well. Popup window bad…Embeded HTML page good. All and all a nice start.

Thanks for the tips all.  
sintax: the reason it’s not embedded in an html page just now is so that I don’t have a banner ad. across the top, they can’t put it on the swf…not ideal I know but…

split opinion on the ball though, maybe if I can incorporate it into the page transitions it can serve some kind of purpose as well as being a pointless toy.

once again thanks for your time.

Ya that would be cool. You could also put an on/off butto nfor the ball some where. If some one gets sick of it or it gets i nthe way they can just turn it off.

Great idea, an on/off hadn’t even occurred to me. I think I might be an idiot. thanks Sintax.
