SITE REVIEW: M-I Services

ive been spending a lot of time redoing my entire site in flash. im fairly new at flash, but i think im picking up on it rather quickly. its not completly done but i wanted to hear some others opinions on it.

please visit the flash section

http://www.m-iservices.com

really like both versions . i really like the intro movie.
very good work

IMO i think that the splash page is kinda plain. However i do like the flash intro but if i was going to visit your site a lot then i think that it would really pee me of so maybe an option to "skip intro" would be a good idea?

The colors are not very eye grabbing, maybe introducing another color would be a good idea as it would make the site stand out a bit more.

I think that i prefer the html page and think that maybe you could introduce the blue links into the site design. (links would also look better with a roll over.

On the HTML home page there is a lot of blank space under the buttons, maybe you could use this space to put graphics. This would give your site some eye candy which i think your site lacks.

I am viewing in firefox and all seems ok

Overall i think that you have got a good site that just needs jazzing up bit more

Tone

Not a bad site. I have to agree, I almost like the HTML version better. The flash almost doesnt seem necessary if you look at it after the HTML. The downloads page didnt work for me. So i guess your still updating. All in All its a very clean very simple site, maybe some more color could spruce it up a bit, but it is clean and laid out well. Good Job

thank you all for the replies. im taking them all into consideration as i upgrade everything. thanks again

Hi,
sites looks fine for a beginner. Needs alot of work though. How about reading some actionscript tutorials that always makes your flash work more appealing. Im not a fan of flash though.

its pretty cool

(Reviewing only the flash site)

From my point of view its fine ... however if I clicked on the link I would have exited within 10 seconds, that splash page is too tedious and boring. Add some life to it ... check out http://www.kigot.com (I love thier splash it makes you say wow) however you said your a beginner and that is very good work for a begginer.

Add some music, and make the flash effects on the banner more subtle - is flash really needed for the buttons - you could use .gif as its benefical for SEO - however as its full flash I shouldn't really comment on that.

Overall : 4/10 - Sorry but I think color scheme is too dull

Not a bad site, the Flash version didnt work for me. The HTML version did however. I like that part. What version of flash did you create it in? I have v6 on my pc. I might have to upgrade.

hmm it was for 6. it seems to be working for everyone else.

again thank you all for your replies. i am simply amazed at http://www.kigot.com/ you right its absoutley incredible. but yes the truth is i only started working with flash less than a week ago, and im only 17. but i have done lots of work with web design in genral. im hoping to get something really good going on the site. thanks for all your comments

You are doing real well for a beginnner! and yes kigot is incredible. if you look at my site you can see my intro isnt 2 fancy but the sound gets you. then you can get real fancy like http://www.allmediastudios.com/. Check that one out and tell me what you think. That is the most incredible intro I have ever seen. Hands down. So whatever fits you, just make it catchy!

for the downloads you should make it so u dont have to email u for a username and password but if its abused ban the abusers ip
