Sunrider,

Mmmmmmmm.....theres a lot of these mechanical/techno style sites floating around now, and yes whilst i can see that they're all different from (well lets call it the 'god' of techno sites for now) - i cannot help but feel dissapointed when i open it up, everyone is doing the same but in a different way. Just does not fill me with joy as soon as i open it up.

But, that is not a personal 'jab' - just wanted to express my opinion, but yes your site does fall into that catagory. BUT:

The flash is brilliant, really smooth and 'tight' - no dodgy buttons, all together with very good continuety throughout the site, nice colors too.

Although, the site felt amazingly dis-jointed - not becuase of the style...i think it was because of the constant pop-up windows that kept on over-lapping the previous one.

I am not a fan of pop up windows, your personal skill (which is evident in the site) combined with the capabilities of flash should be enough to work around pop-up windows, that are just shoved in the users face, draging them into more and more clicks, not good usability, i am afraid ! (i understand that it is art being displayed, but....)

Loading times were very good for me. Technically the site is very good, and i do like it and overall, and i do mean that. I just felt that it was let down by it being a 'wanna be' site, but never quite getting there, for various reasons (i.e the site being contained in quite small pop-up-window).

Nice site, nice job, nice flash - i liked it, i am stuck in one of the 24 hour puter rooms at the momment, that have sh.it puters' and no sound, so i cannot comment - if there was any, don't know, sorry.

Oh, yeah - althoguh the info came onto the screen in an inventive way, the way it disapeared could be improved.

Hope this helped, thanks for taking the time to read my comments

I can definetely say that this is one of the best answers tha i got so far from various forums. Thanks for taking the time to "deep scan" my web site and also for writting the comments.

Unfortunatelly for you ( kidding ) I am a fun of that style. Yes i know that it has been over and over used and that there might be other ways to have that feeling and also be a little more oroginal. I'll keep working on that in the future.

My main goal was to exibit my personan artworks and not so much my capabilities as a flash designer. Probably i am not givving this sencse to the world.

Popup windows ? Yes i know they can be somehow annoying. Probably i'll find a way to work this around on my next version of the website. I know that i might not get clients out of this site. But user friendly and creativity freedom is a subject that has a lot of ink rpoiled for it :)

I know that dissappearence could be improoved. I have some ideas for that but i need free time to make them true so for the time being .. ....

You comments where really helpfull ( a lot more that " THIS IS GREAT SITE !!!" which i like but they don't give me the + and the -of my work so i can improove ).

Probably we should all do sitechecks like you and i mean that :)

Thanks again
