We finally got our website up and I thought I would share this with you!

As a marketing tool, we created an animated opening to the company and burned it on to disk to give to clients.

I think you will enjoy, and we finally have our new website up to share it with you as well.

Maybe now I can post some new project pics for portfolio veiwing!

here ya go!

Company Intro

I would love to get some feedback....and of course to top it all off, Joe Reese was kind enough to allow us to use one of his songs as the background!.

Thanks again Joe! That's why the songpainter cd is so important and I fully support it!

I didn't download the intro (fairly large for my crappy dialup)

I checked the new website (you asked for feedback right?)
That is one of the hardest to look at sites I've ever seen (to put it nicely)
You do some really beautiful work but I feel the high contrast busy look isn't doing you any favors.
I find times, bold, in super high contrast color on black severly painful.
My suggestions for an easy patch job would be to use a light grey san-serif font rather than white times bold (less contrast)...
and use a MUCH less sharp/contrasting background image.
The combination of those and things constantly moving all over the place had my eyes going everywhere.
IMHO

I have to second Mark's comments regarding the contrast.

I would either tone down the background image or lose it altogether, it's detracting from the rest of the content. I'd probably get rid of it if it were my site, there's already lots goin on on the page especially with the scrolling marquee on the dreamweaver theater screen. [Smile]

I also agree with Mark on the text/font. Choose a softer color, it makes reading much easier. I use gray on my site which has black backgrounds and it works pretty well.

I watched the animated intro.. it's cool but with pictures moving across the screen and text fading in and out, I barely had time to read and digest the content, or get a good look at the images. *I* know I can pause the player, but does everyone else know that?

Robert...I just spent 20 minutes looking at my computer while your program loaded, just to have a security alert jump up.

It stated "Authenticode signature not found"

Ya gotta find a better way to promote your program here...this didn't get it!

Sorry...I tried!

"Yeah...but that's what they said about Picasso."

Bwahahaha!
