Hey Sham,

I am on cable modem so no prob with the load time. Maybe someone with 56k will give you some feedback there. Your site is unique and totally custom and that's what I want to see when I go to a web site, good there. You color scheme is good and all text is easily readable, good there.

The only thing that I found that not only yours, but many custom flash sites do, is make you hunt for the nav system. I know you state at the beginning how to nav, but many newbies will miss it and get discouraged. Instead of just the M, you might change that in some way to make no mistake of how to nav.

Info is a little sparse but I'm sure you are working on that.

Overall it's a nice site layout.

Nice load time! In fact, I didn't have to wait for anything to load. It all came up faster than a lot of sites I've been to that have no flash at all. Very :cool: !

Your overall design is very impressive. The only thing that I would suggest is in your artwork menu you are using a slide bar. I have no problem with the bar itself, but you may want to include a mouseover caption to point out to the visitor that they should slide it along, kinda like what you've done with the menu and close window icons. And when hovering over the links in your "interests" section, they disappear on the background. Don't know if that was your intent.

I'm happy to say that I don't have any real criticism for you though. You 've done a great job! Very original and nicely presented. And as someone who only has access to 56k at this time, I greatly appreciate a well optimized site.

A few comments:

Looks interesting, but it takes me a bit to load. It's kinda slow.

Also, I have a hard time reading your words on the site, it hurts my eyes for some reason. Maybe it's too small, or it's just hard to read. I just know it's slightly hard to read and thus hurts my eyes.

That's about all the things I've noticed negative about it.

Hello All,

Thank You very much for your response. I have taken into account some of the comments I have recieved with regards to usability and whatnot--I have posted updated files now, so the menu button should read menu instead of just the m icon -- as awell , there should be lables on each of the scrollbar sections (my urls and Artwork) that tell you to scroll right...

I am having a problem with the site not refreshing itself though, so perhaps some of you could respond and let me know if these changes have taken place on your machines or not

Thanks in advance
