Hello,
This is my very first flash site.

Any Comments?

And can anyone view the Animations on the Animations page? I could see them
yesterday, but they won't load for me today.

Hi,

Your site is simple and easy to follow. Here are a few design suggestions:
* Front page, make the text a bit smaller in font size, including the 'Home',
'Animations' and 'Newsletter' items..
* The 'Contact Us' is very small. Why not make 'Contact us' as a link under
'Newsletter'?
* The copyright notice could also be a larger font size - it's hard to read at
the current size.

The animation links are not working for me.

There have been a few people asking for feedback on their sites that I've
commented on. Have a read through feedback I've given and others have to people
that have posted here and it may provide valuable info and ideas for your work.

In a previous post, I mentioned a little presentation I created on graphic
design. Here's the URL:

It's in shockwave.

Wish you all the best with your endevours.

regards

Off Topic - seems to me the forums are now even worse with a news reader.
All links from the web forums show with all this garbage in the last couple
weeks. Yeesh... is getting this right really that hard?

Yeah, I agree.. MM has wrecked the newsgroup version over and over again for years. It has been a repeating pattern. Apparently,
whoever does the forum coding doesn't give a rat's arse what the newsgroup version looks like. All the links look like they have
"flatulation bar" in the link now and are unclickable.

I know... it's exceedingly annoying.

Great Dean. That would be great if you could get some action.
I wish that whoever changes the forum programming would have to pass the changes through an approval process where the impact on the
newsgroup version is taken into account before the changes are permitted. They have messed it up numerous times in past years.

Maybe time for another letter to the forum editor?:)

For anyone interested, a number of forum users, including myself and Dave, sent
a joint letter to Adobe about issues with the forum. We did hear back saying
they were looking at resolving them. Perhaps, I can check in with Adobe and see
if there are any developments.

You could try, but the editor obviously does not use a news reader as now
every link people post is broken and surrounded by garbage. If they would
merely look with a news reader they would see this... I mean you can't even
click people's links anymore. Whomever made it 'better' has made it worse
than it's ever been. Reminds me of one of those local car commercials that
make you wonder how in the heck _that_ ever made it on TV... how does _this_
make it past QA?

Here some comments on your html source code.

You have no alt content set for people without flash/ dissabled javascript.
There is a lot commented information you can remove. For example why do
you repeat "CONSULTING YOU CAN TRUST <p align="left"><font face="Tahoma"
size="9" color="#727272" letterSpacing="0.000000" kerning="0">Copyright
© RMP Design, 2006</font></p>RMP Consulting" about 100 times?

Well, have sent an email asking if the issue we've seen here is known. I'll post
the reply when it arrives.

Good job Dean! We probably assume that they already know and don't care or don't know and don't care, but maybe that's not really
the case.

i agree the text in upper left is HUGE - make it smaller. If you have to provide instructions that
the titles are links then you are not assuming your users have enough brins to figure out the only
text on the page is clickable. It totally reads as links so remove the instructions.
Animation links open a new page that promote the hosting site - none contain your animations.
popup ads are annoying (but that goes without saying).
Your scrollbar button is broken - try to click and drag and it disapears off the screen (bottom).

gut reaction? it looks and feels like a first website - it aint bad but i suggest you keep pushing
your design.
