It doesn't exactly look professional to me. Your site is still a stellar representation of a professional site. It's easy on the eyes, and the layout is quite nice. However, I think that you should refine your flash some more. Motion tweens are nice, but the text you've got moving around doesn't look like it has a determined path. That, sir, is not professional. Nice start though.

Mmm... the intro makes my eyes hurt for some reason.. (maybe i'm just playing too much JKA )

Rah!

The wandering text is aggarvating on the eyes, the blue text at the end goes away WAY too fast, and FIX THE COMPRESSION ON THE IMAGES. Man, your title bar looks like utter crap. Cough up a few more kb in size for a major improvement in image quality. You should NOT be seeing blocks like that on a simple border solid color image.

- Flash just for the sake of flash is lame. Static text would look better than text flying around in random loopy patterns.

- The graphics on the page are terrible. They don't line up or mesh together, and they are too low-res and jagged.

- Uh... the color scheme is nice...

I was talking about those same top title picture. The ones that are compressed so bad it's fugly.

Anyways, the 8 second rule is not worth anything if you end up making the images look like crap. This is easily more prominent on the flash page anyway.

Also, the blue text is right before the circle expands to white in the flash vid. I would tell you what it says if it didn't go by so quick.

Also, you could help the image size by making the image a heck of a lot smaller. Not to mention it causes scrolling on 640X480 computers, something you do NOT want happening on professional sites.

These days it's acceptable for a professional site to require 800x600 or even 1024x768 as long as the space is used well.

You have a very odd way of responding to quotes...

I'm talking about all the images on every page. But if you want links, I'll do you one better. I took a screenshot of your page. The numbers correspond to the comments below.

1. This should be a circle, but instead it looks like a jagged blob.

2. This looks like it should be a 90 degree angle, but the horizontal line went to far to the left.

3. Same as #2, but it looks like you did it on purpose. A professional looking images should be geometrically precise, not wandering in random directions.

4. Everything on your page besides this is a smooth curve. This jagged curve is inconsistant and looks bad.

5. This line isn't even straight. It honestly looks like you drew all these images freehand. Even if you did intend to make this a diagonal line, the stepping looks really bad.

6. The content of the page should not extend otuside the boundaries of the title bar.



1. The low-res looks terrible. If images are causing your page to load too slowly, then the solution is to use fewer images, not crappy images. And anyway, these are solid colors. I'm sure that you could create a jpg small in filesize using very little compression.

2. These two headings should be the same size but aren't. Furthermore, to achieve the difference in size, all you did was to stretch the second heading vertically, distorting the image and causing the page logo to get all jagged.

3. These white squares ought to line up vertically with something below them. Otherwise, they just look out of place. Also, they aren't even in a straight line. Again, it looks as if you drew them freehand. In art, this would look organic. On a supposedly profession webpage, it looks sloppy.
