Well as I am new to this group I'll just say HELLO!
I finished my site 2 weeks ago but I am still updating to improve the access. If you have time check it out...

The site is at http://www.dj-fokus.com

info: It is a big file (600k) so if you are on a slower modem it mite take about 30secs to enter the site and after the intro another 30secs to load the interface. After that your free to explore, however there are some nuttons that load other movies (tokyo/seoul) that may take 30secs to load(lots of picture data)...I am in the process of changing those lionks so that they load individual pics, thus speeding up viewing pleasure(he he).

If you are on a faster connection...no problems.

enjoy and leave any comments you like...

If you have any appropriate links that you'de like me to add to the links section send them to me.

Yeah it's nice. Before I enterred I got some IE isntall on demand thing. Don't know what it was for because I cancelled it. I have Flash already so it wasn't for Flash...

Umm the relative scrolling nav on a verticle plane is a bit orriginal. I like the look of the site but that font is kinda hard to read for blind people such as myself. Perhaps you should use simpler fonts for stuff like "Type your name in the box and click here"... as I relaly couldn't read that one. Also your text field which says "welcome <name>" is in Times New Roman and kinda looks out of place.

Nice job all up.

Cheers

I have been fixing many things with my site during the last week.

First of all I fixed the preloader so that now you know what is happening and about how much time there is left. Also I uploaded some streaming audio, If you do decide to listen to this while you surf, turn off the music by clicking on themusic button.

Other fixes include a smaller intro and smaller interface, thus faster loading times. You still have to give it about a 30sec-a minute on slower modems but you will notice the difference, if you've visited before.

Now the main things which I will update this week will be the links page, the tokyo, seoul, and dj booths page... to allow for faster loading. Stay tuned...and thanks to all who looked!

Well done.
Nice graphicly and good level of flash

Few suggestions:
Text is not so easy to read on this BG
Scroll bar is not recognizable enough

I hope it helps to improve it.

Some good advice from you guys, I will do something about the text BG and the scroll bar...I really appreciate all the advice cause I need the useability to improve...I hope all who have viewed the site so far have found it pretty user friendly, except for the BG and the scroll bar, also I will chage the size to fit 800*600 layouts.

thanks for the advice
