new site to check out

[mididelight]

hello again,

http://www.sbertalotto.com/3fg/


What do you guys think? I know it doesnt validate because of the flash. But when I delete the embed object, the flash doesnt show up in firefox. Anyone know why?

Most important, tell me what you think, be honest.

Thanks

the site looks pretty good :) gj. I would like to suggest that you rethink your flash though. W/ it repeating over and over and over and over again it can get a bit annoying after a while. I would suggest maybe have it play through once or twice on the home page and end w/ some thing that remains there afterwards. Then instead of having it repeat on every page have that part that it ended with just be an image that is on the rest. This will get rid of the continuous replay.

The 3FG logo within the Flash doesn't look as clean as your regular logo. Why are you using tables for your menu? A styled unordered list works better in trems of sematics. I'm not 100% set on the grayish background.

i agree with the repetitive flash comments but this website is for a client and against my will, they want it to repeat. They are paying me so who am I to judge, I can only advise.

In regards to the tables for the menu, I did try to use an unordered list but Icouldnt get the spacing equal between each category, so I went with the table layout. I know its bad semantics, if anyone has a way to make it equal space between each category then I will glady change.

Thank you for your suggestions.

BTW whats wrong with gray?

ok, in that case i guess leave it :P you may want to strongly advise him against it though and explain to him why it is bad and tell him what would work better. Sounds like u already did this, but if u didnt, give it a try :P gl

thank you very much, i actually convinced them and i added a replay button at the end, so users have the option to replay if need be.

You might want to add a contact address and phone number. It looks good though.
