Its not quite finished (ie it needs a little more content and a spell check) but my main problem is when you open the home page the first time you click on a button it goes to the wrong page.. after this all the buttons work fine.. i cant find a wrong link.. and its really annoying me :(

Could some one give me feedback on my site and also try and help me with my problem?

...It is small. Clean, but small. I had to zoom in to it.

I made it at 600 x 800.. is there a reason why it would be small?

Yup, it is pretty darn tiny... but looks very clean and the photographs look lovely even at a distance. I'm not really sure why it would show up so small... did you use dreamweaver, maybe something there may be set up incorrectly?

The size problem is caused by standard-compliance. You have the size set in a way that only internet explorer understands. People using Mozilla and other browsers won't see it correctly. You should change your HTML file to what's below (I added your file name in there for ya).

As far as I know, this method is 100% cross-platform compatable. Put this in your HTML file and you should be good to go.

Hi there,

Your site does look nice and clean but its just way too small for me to see completely.I am using firefox if that helps.

Let me know if you manage to work around it so I can take another look.

Regards,

Jason Pickford

^ The above needs to be implemented for us Mozilla users. ^

There we go no html:

Since you have decided to use Flash for implementing your website, you should use some sort of animation. Your website can be created exactly the same in HTML and would be much more indexable.

Nice graphic work. You have a very unique sense of style.

I would slow down the slide show on the home page.
Also, not to put it down, b/c I really like the design, but why did you do it in flash? There's really nothing in there that couldn't be done with html, seems like kind of pointless to use flash for it.
