comments on a new site

Hello everyone -

Take a look at a new site of mine - Centre Stage Productions - suppliers of music, scripts, costumes, and everything pantomime! -

Does it work OK on your system?

Any feedback is more welcomed than apple pie with custard...

Hi,

That site seems to all work fine to me. Very nice.

The intro music results annoying to me...

Sorry mate, dont like it.

Frames and Flash, my advice would be to go down the HTML route and include Flash elements. That way it would load quicker and search engine like google would like it.

But as to your question it does load ok (after a wait)

Well, maybe he wants the site for offline promotion. If he wants visitors from SE, well ya, flash really really sucks for SEO.

No scroll bars in low res so you are fecked and stuck on front page seeing the top left of screen.

May want to fix that

What he said. This sort of approach to layout (fixed size, all flash) dictates the content. Any changes or additions that are required will inevitably create hassle.

Also, I find the text difficult to read, especially the unselected menu items which I can barely see.

I just wish more people would let me do liquid!

I second that - lose the intro music!
Also there is currently no reason for this site to be in flash - unless you;re planning on adding more interactive content. Even then, I think you could achieve a cleaner, faster loading, more SEO friendly site with html and css.

The structure of the homepage also doesn't work. In IE7 there doesn't appear to be any type of grid layout. Looks as though content boxes are overlapping or each is sized/positioned differently You should work on your grid for the site to help it flow a little better or if you like to spend some bucks to get te necessary makeover then consult a web design company for related improvements. Still personally I think you need to have a really sweet homepage to ignite the viewers interest in clicking through.
