design check

hi guys i'm new here i want some critiqe on my site


http://www.vodoo.tk

Hmm I don't really know much about flash but I can offer an opinion based on a web surfers perspective.

The intro is nice although it would have been nice to seen an opinion to enter the site without having to watch a flash show. Mind you the flash in the intro looks excellent and is not long at all which I think is a huge plus!

The first thing I notice is it's difficult to read the font. In the following sections What's New, News, and the temp (?) Menu on top, System, Guestbook

There are many distractions. There are contant movements all over the page that's only purpose is for a visual effect. It's overkill and becomes annoying real fast. It wouldn't have been nice to see it run through once but not contantly. The next thing I notice is the middle of the side bar is contantly flickering. I drag my mouse over to see if it's a link but nothing happened. Is it suppose to flicker, is it part of the visual? The "system" bar that pulls out is for what puspose?

What I find appealing about the site is the flash at the top...it isn't distracting, looks very nice!

I am assuming the site isn't complete as there seems to be gaps with content and and design.

just a quick point.. in IE its in the middle, but Firebird its to the left, doesnt really matter but thought you might want to know. Overall a nice site but maybe a bit small!

thnx guys for reply i'll take this in mind next update it will come soon

I like the organic style shape tween anmation, the animations are snappy, thats cool.

I would also like to add that your color scheme overall is just too dark. Check out harley davidson's homepage for color scheme reference (http://www.harley-davidson.com/en/h...?bmLocale=en_US)

Nice site but as ppl said b4, lots of flickering stuff and annoying things that move. If the system bar is for beats I couldn't get it to work. The cursor trails were fun at first but started to annoy after a while. Other wise very cool site.+

thnx man .. i'll try to fix it

I understand flash, and those who don't want to use it or can't use it will not give you favorable responses. But just so you know flash player six was the fastest distributed plug-in in the history of the internet. In less than a year after it's launch flash player six was more widely used than the java plug-in. Flash player 7 was launched less than six months ago and is on pace to beat that!

Sites based soley on flash content have gone from rags to riches even after the .com bubble burst. An example is homestarrunner. Macromedia flash is used on ALL major web sites, including entertainment, news and the like.

Just the fact that you used flash immediately sets you up above the rest.

That being said you do use alot of "tricks" I have seen before, albeit you use them well, and it does have kind of a "too busy" look. The moving lines on top is an overused effecton the internet.

The only real critism I have is that the scrollbar you have connected to the text and your textarea are different heights and is missing a scrollTrack, I see that is part of the design but it is important to maintain universal standards, I like messing with the _alpha and colors and the like but keeping the standard also.

thnx ry for the helping reply ..
