Website Review and Suggestions

**tonne2244** · 03-03-2008, 10:26 PM

My current site is raptureimage.com. I want to have a more flash based site with a more creative feel. So I came up with this:
raptureimage.com/jahova.html
Let me know all your thoughts.
Thanks.

I do like the new site better, but the flash animation takes considerable longer. Id say either shorten it or add navigation. We are forced to wait for this thing, before we can do anything, which in the least is painful.

Thank you guys very much, I will be making the intro take a shorter period of time. And it will be my new website soon

I agree, it took way too long to load. Plus, sites created in purely flash aren't the most search engine friendly. Not sure if this is a big deal for you or not. If not, I'd say reduce the load time on the new site and you're golden. Good to go.

Good job.

For your first site - as someone else stated, it looks like a sports website, although I do like it. It looks hands-on.

Your new site blows me away. Very original and looks like time was put forth. The 'be fruitful' does not really blend in though, and slightly lowed my first impression of the site. It takes the professionalism out of it.

But overall, very nice work!

Hi There,

I like the new site, i agree that the old one looked quite sporty and this new design has a good feel. I wonder if the 'be fruitful' is slightly too off centre? The gap to the left between the grass and the branches may feel a little spacious with not much going on, perhaps it could be moved slightly to the left a tiny bit? Your flash area could move with it and be slightly larger too. just an idea

I am a novice so if this doesn't make sense please forgive me but, whilst the new site does look very good(it did take time to download), it doesn't fit on my browser (IE7) it was to wide and didn't resize and there seemed to be a lot of unused space on the new site, very sorry to say but I preferred your old one, just my opinion for what its worth.

I'm not a designer or web guru but I know what I like. The first sight a bit gaudy and confusing for me. Cluttery. Your new site I really like. Much simpler and easier to understand.
