it loads too long, that will turn a lot of ppl away from your site

Thanks for the comments
I have already made it as small as 1.5M.
How long does it take to load the site?

It's still taking me a minute to load at full broadband speed, maybe its your hosting.

You need to compress your images, 1.5M is crazy for a site with barely any content except a few images, there's plenty of tutorials on Pixel2life that will help you with this.

Alternatively actually loading the images after the interface has loaded might be a good idea. I don't know the first thing about flash really but I have seen this done numerous times.

The layouts OK, if I were you I would 'finish' it a bit mainly the menu and fonts. Would also consider removing the white border and making use of the full size of the screen.

Hey, Whats up?


I enjoyed viewing your website. I do agree with others about the load time, but when I actually got to view the site It was pretty impressive. I love the flash and how it has like a glow effect once you mouseover. The template could be better, the fonts, colors, and mostly the main template. The page where you can view all of your creations is very, very impressive. I enjoyed going through your designs. The template could be better, but other than that it's very nice!


Great job.
