I looked at it and it just brings up a black page. I also looked at the source and it just came up with a load of meta tags.

I personally have a thing against flash sites - they load slowly and are generally not as easy, nor can they be as quickly navigated as normal static sites. Also, generally at the moment most web designers etc. are not using flash for their sites (it's a little dated now unless done really well.)

Thank you very much for the comments, i made several changes. I removed the most of the meta keywords which were too many. I also removed, a google analytics script, and compressed flash plugin which all slowed down my website. Please review again if you see a difference is speed. Cheers, AE.

They say that if it does not grab the visitors attention in the 1st 20 seconds they hit the exit button and go and look at another site,i am sorry to say it had the same effect this time its still way to slow in loading.

I think it looks good but I don't know if anyone else found this, I found it hard to scroll without it jamming sometimes. The custom scroll bar didn't allow my mac touch pad to do the 'quick scroll' so I had to manually move it. But it looks good.

Ok, I dont mean to sound rude but, the fact that the site is flash, does in fact show your talent in web design, however, i would prefer to see a page as an intro that allows you to choose between Flash and Regular. You also have no trace of a portfolio on your site, and if there is, it isn't that easy to find, I still haven't. Its too complicated. You have too many little things that move around and the colors aren't very eye catching, in my opinion.

In basic terms, you tried too hard. Keep it simple. Add an intro page, a clean one, add some transparencies, on the intro, but not that much flash. Flash sites are on their way out, and web 2.0 is in. Jump on the web 2.0 train ASAP, it won't come around again.

Good Luck!

@Ae.Studio: Sorry Ae, but Flash really is so outdated. You might want to switch to languages that are SEO friendly like PHP. You could mix flash with it so you still can do your animation.

The design is also too noisy with too many things happening - The first time the page loads, I don't really know what your company does (consider traffic from search engines).

Anyways I hope this helps out, and like what ACMAir said, web 2.0 is the way to go

Everything you did on flash could be easily duplicated in HTML and use some JQuery to build animation. There are way too many things to focus on. The layout is not clean. At first glance..I would feel lost and don't know where to look.

Hello,

As a professional web design, Internet marketing, and IT services firm. I would say that you have too much going on. When I clicked it first it was a blank page, after it showed something but the bottom part just kept loading and loading. I would make a more simple design with less animation. If you need help let me know. Thank you for your time, and best of luck to you.

Regards,

Christopher
