Wow, I had to update my Flash player just to view the site. (you might want to consider looking into that). I like the background music. It's a little difficult to navigate, and the grey text is slightly hard to read. Nothing really seems to match up either...too much grey I think.

The overall look of the site is very nice - but it can be a little confusing which page it is loading - and what are those square links when you click services - that's a bit confusing.
Otherwise - the site looks impressive and swish, and you can tell that the creator is very experianced in flash

Like what YouDoo - VooDoo

K . . . the flash just blows you away . . . very impressive. (Glad I disabled my pathetic flash effort on my site. What you've done is brilliant - I'm jealous of your talent and the wait was worth hanging around for.)

Something to consider . . . It's hard to read with the font color and background combinations - no alternative to view larger. Although I'm visually impared there are still ways of making everything larger and more clear by using color combinations or intensity of color on the computer, but I honestly couldn't even make out what the site is all about. I would be a shame for people to give up out of frustration. (Yikes . . . hope it wasn't an xxx site!)

The music was great . . . very calming . . . very effective after getting frustrated waiting for the site to load. Maybe it was the fault of my computer but I'm using high speed cable. Couldn't imagine Granny with her 128k modem.

I love the aqua, greys, and browns but it could use more definition and intensity . . . keep within the same color wheel area but some accents wouldn't hurt from the other end of the spectrum . . . possibly using a touch darker background with image shadowing.

You've done an incredible job and you should be proud of yourself . . . just needs to be more user friendly - more "visible."

Is it really a good idea to depend on the latest and greatest? I imagine that the great majority of visitors are never up to the minute.

Is there a pressing reason to waste our time with an intro page? My normal reaction is to simply bail.

I really hate for webmasters to tell me they require that I downgrade my browser, or that I must resize my browser window. Actually, the site looks best at 800X600 rez. Horizontal overflow is only a few pixels.

Text is too small and of insufficient contrast for any but the best of eyes.

Constant animation becomes annoying.

The above comments are from a users standpoint without consideration of artistic or technical merit.

The layout is attractive but is perhaps too subtle. Some type of accent or focal point would help.

The html is crap. While it is merely a container for the flash object, it should still be correct in structure and syntax.

As a flash exercise the page is likely a success. As a usable site, it fails. The user is insulted, cannot adjust text size for readability, is annoyed by constant animation, and anything less than a 1Mb connection speed is just too slow. Where accessibility is concerned, Flash just fails, period.

The site is overall very complicated and hard to navigate plus the loading the times are awful. I'm using 300K and I believe it took about 15 seconds for the site to actually load.

BUT your flash skills are incredible and ike stated before by someone else I am tad a bit jealous.
