Here's the site itself.
http://www.mts.net/~cshrpmnr/index.html
I have a long list of reasons why this site should never make it to the net, but I was hoping more tactful critiques if y'all don't mind.
He wants the bells/alarms on the home page to ring and blink. He wants the ambulance to squeal it's tires and speed off the page.
He also want outer glow applied to all headers.
He originally had drop shadow on everything. Text included.
This site is meant to showcase the company's web design abilities.
Thanks Mike
Are the developer of this website?
If not, you cannot offer a website for review that is not your property or that of one of your clients. ;)

I coded the site, but couldn't bring myself to finish. My friend did the layout and design of the site. I was hoping to get other peoples' opinions as to why the site needs to be vastly improved graphically as he wasn't listening to what I was saying and pressing forward in the same misguided direction.
I spent a few hours speaking with him today and I'm going to be involved in both the design and development of the site.
Thanks for the link to the other thread as well. I never thought about flashing red lights having such an effect. :D

.... I never thought about flashing red lights having such an effect. :D On December 16, 1997 hundreds of Japanese children suffered seizures and convulsions following their viewing of a "Pokeman" ("Pocket Monsters") cartoon on television. Most children said they felt sick and had vision problems during a scene where the entire background was flashing red and blue.
Additional children ended up in the hospital after the cartoon segment was replayed in the evening news. Neurologists believe that the children suffered a photosensitive epileptic siezure induced by the flashing. Abnormal EEG can be triggered by flickering lights in a small percentage of persons when the flickering frequency is 5-10 hertz for children and 15-20 hertz for older people.
