Hello,
This is the jewelry site I made: www.oliadesigns.com (http://www.oliadesigns.com)
Any comments or report of bugs would be appreciated
Thanx :)

It's nice.

You might wanna do something about the sound... It's kinda odd... in my opinion.

nice and simple... i like that..

the border in biography change to a lighter color
i thought the preloader would take years to complete... you might want to reduce the quality of the pics or create thumbnails...

intro music kinda loud
the buttons doesnt work......well nothing happens or respond when you click on them b4 the opening animation is finished


itz not bad ... dont think the colouring scheme makes the jewlery attrative tho

big download on dial up, so I had a chance to really stare at the text above the percent display, how about a device or pixel font? after all, I'm expecting perfect jewelry so the font should be nice too.

the "contact" link seems like an after thought up in the corner and angled . . .

i zoomed in (since the menu was available) and the word "home" is distorted. the "o" is certainly stretched out a few pixels (again, I don't want flaws in my diamond, so why should there be flaws on the site).

it took too long to load anything so i bailed . . . but i do like the site, it's just the font that i have real issue with, i like pixel fonts

good job overall! :)

Thanx for the feedback...
I think I will lower the volume of the intro music.
Regarding the fonts:
Some one mentioned I use pixel fonts. I admit I am an idiot and don't know what they are. If some on could give me some info on them that would be great. As for the home button text being funky, well that was a silly careless era on my part. I accidently foe bold the font. Needless to say I'll change that as well...
Regarding load-time:
My external swf files are no more then 380 kb. I don't think that it's that unreasonable (even for dial-up users). Or is it? Well can someone recommend a good target size. Better yet can some one also help me out with creating a percent pre-loader that works for an external swf.
I guess I am still a newbie and have a lot to learn...
However I am thankful for the help :)

take a search here for pixel fonts, you'll find lots of help and they are easy to use (see my site, it's all pixel fonts). They stay sharp and do not get fuzzy (anti-alis).

380 is sort of big. My site, all files ar under 100, but that is still kind of big (at 50K, 100 KB will take 20-25 seconds to laods). Most stats shoe the average site stay is something like 16-20 seconds!!!
