I'd like to get some feedback on how you feel when visiting this site. My goal is to make visitors stay longer and encourage them to use our services. Have I accomplished this?

Hmmm, so the services link is not too easy to find? What can I do to make my visitors find what they are looking for fast and easily?

I think your site would be great if you were already talking to a client, and said visit my website. They know who you are. So in that respect I think your site is fine.

If you are marketing this site to a general audience though trying to gain new customers you have to grab them and haul them in. Even Macy's highlights the word SALE!

I had no clue when visiting your site, other than some sort of design company. Lot's of design companies specialize it lots of different things.

h3h3. Now it loaded.

Have to say that it is very hard to read the headr text : "identity print don`t know what ..." You may change the font or its size.

I definately saw the slide photo effect somewhere else a couple of years ago.

It looks like a templatemonster template, and its okay. :)

cheers

its nice and attractive. but i will say you to change the index page to static one instead of flash. because your site requirs alot of time to load.

:roll:

Talking about connections and stuf ... You could try to make a intro page , where visitors select LOW bandwith and high bandwith based on what they like...

Or you could implement bandwithplace.com feature to test your visitors connection and redirect them automaticly for low or high version of the site.

Hi,

Liked the look of the site, but have to agree that the text at the top of the page is hard to read. It almost looks like it's not embeded properly. Fonts and flash is always a nightmare! Ignore this if I'm teaching you to suck eggs, but I have always found the best way is to just embed the bits of the font you need into dynamic text areas. Especially now with flash 8 you can then set the aliasing to many more different settings, and that might help.

Positives - really like the transitions very smooth and cool. Colours and layouts are nice and not too fussy - it shows off the work well.

I have to say the music started to drive me a bit mad as the loop is so short it started to grate after a while. This wouldn't make me stay on the site - even though there is an off button perhaps something a bit longer or more ambient might be nicer.

Having said that most of these things are quite minor, the site as a whole looks good.

Tim

Wow, thats a good idea. I was not aware of badwithplace.com but that feature sounds nice. Any one here still use dial-up?
