I am a newbie at this but I would like some feedback on my site. It is located right now in a temp directory on my work server. I know that this area is for Powweb hosted sites only but my site will be up on Powweb's server as soon as it gets OK'd.

Thank you for any and all advice.

I like it...it's a very clean, simple, attractive, intuitive interface. Pretty good for a first-timer :cool:
My one comment would be in regards to the Flash movie intro...if you don't click on it fast enough, it repeats itself. It's nice that it will eventually automatically load the main page of your site, but there's no indication that you are supposed to click on it to get there. Flash is a cool tool, but I might just leave it off for professionalism. It's not a bad animation, but it doesn't really do anything or say anything...it just takes up time.
Keep up the good work :)

Nice Clean Layout. I do prefer larger text on the pages though.....

Thanks for the feedback. I don't particularly care for the flash on the main pages either but that is what I was asked to do, so.....
Once again, thanks for the feedback.
As far as the site goes, it is a nicely laid out and designed site.
As the others have stated, the Flash intro needs to have a way to get past it without waiting until is stops. If you have to have it, at least put a "Skip Intro" or "Enter Here" link to take the visitor on into the site.
Many users will see the Intro repeating and think there is no more to the site, and leave before ever seeing your site.

The flash intro has a "Skip Intro" on it in the upper right corner. Is it not visible in other browsers? I tested it on Netscape 7 and IE 4+ and it was there. If you don't see it, can you please tell me what browser and version you are using?
Thanks.

My default browser is Mozilla FireBird 0.7 - no "skip intro" button.
Using Netscape 7.1 - no "skip intro" button.
Using Internet Explorer 6.0 - THERE it is!

I had to change the color of the "Skip Intro" text. It was white so it was not visible to Netscape and Mozilla browsers. Does anyone know why the background in the flash movie shows up as white in Netscape and Mozilla instead of the blue color it is suppose to be?
Thanks for all of the help thus far.

I like the choice of fonts and colors. Specifically, I like the grey borders. Oh, and the background color was white for me (Netscape) just to verify.
My default browser is Firebird, I can see your "Skip Intro" now :D

I like the site, but the Flash on the main page is not my favorite. Otherwise very clean and a great site!
