Default My new Project

While interviewing the band Structural Damage for my Heavy Metal Webzine, we got into convo about their site... well I made a couple of suggestions and next thing you know they were asking me to run their website and build new graphics for it... here it is:

Thanx for the comment

Center? What resolution is your computer if I may ask? Because Mine is 1024x786 on a 15' Laptop LCD and everthing is nice and neat...

God, I wish somehow we could resolve these resolution issues....

Thing about Flash loads... you only have to load it once... and it has a mechanism to load only changes to the flash file if changed... once loaded its cached and surfing through it a second time is much quicker... I'm on cable and its a second or two to load but check some of the load times on big time band TOOL and Manson and such it takes forever but its killer graphics...

Ok I centered the index page.

May I ask if all the pages seem off? Like the news pages and stuff?

slow loading?.... did the flash loader percent bar start working right away, or did the page just lock up... or did the IE progress bar go slow,

What did it look like if I may ask?

loaded quickly for me and seems to be centered. agree about red nav on black - maybe they just need to be bold to show up better

Well... personaly I wait for flash intros to load because I want to see them, but for impatient people I added a SKIP INTRO link....

The colors are what the band specified.... Black and Maroon text... It is a little hard to see, unless you have no glare on the puter...

Thanx everyone...

Cool Re: My new Project

Hi Sadain
Site looks great - really suits the band and the image you're trying to get across.
I'm only on AustralianADSL (Slow compared to most of the real world) but it loaded pretty quickly - certainly quick enough.

Good job - maybe I should get you to teach me flash
