the website is getting much time to load. on a dial up modem, i have to wait for 5mins for letting me in (still it was not loaded fully. So i did not dare to enter in the site and see the rest. You must solve this problem or use php/html etc.

Very nice design but a few things that stick out. First is the fact that I have to scroll down to see the entire site using a resoluton of 1280x768. Also on a cable modem it takes awhile to load (probably 90 seconds for the complete animation to stop).

I give it 9/10

i was going to say the exact same thing about scrolling however it only took me seconds to load it on a cable modem, maybe the server was slow when you tried?


oh yea i amost forgot, that is a great site i like it im going to have to give it a 9.5/10

Hi,

nice looking design but what does "absorbingly understated" on the intro page mean ? As mentioned before, it takes a long time to load. The artist looks very serious on the contact page, but maybe that photo was her choice?

hmm when it loaded I could see what the wait was all about, lots of flash and very graphical.

I prefer a mix of flash and real text etc to speed things up, but Im sure the target audience like the site a lot.
Good work.

hey all Thanks for the comments and the 9/10's!!!

I argee that the annoying scrollbar shows up on your high res, it's caused by my client's hosting company throwing in an extra pixel after my alignment table. It's server side generated so I can't get rid of it without turning off the counter.. and the client wants the counter.

Gringo, Not quite sure what absorbingly understated means myself. I think the photos were chosen for the main page by the manager.. Caroline might have had a word about it as well.. fo rthe contact page.. that one was removed and I have a new one up.

Also added a new music player as soonas you hit the site.

Thanks for your comment Daver and Desibhupi I try to get my clients to have a mix of flash and html but the client requested all flash. All flash is cool sometimes too!

Thanks again to all, your comments and critiques are always appreciated.

Perhaps you could have an alternate all HTML version? The site is really nice, good original animation etc but it does take a while to load.

Yeah, I have the same problem, the page loads too long.

I visited the site on a DSL connection (not as fast as cable) and it loaded very quickly -- inside of 7 seconds. I think that is fair for a large flash site such as this. Line, the design is absolutely top-notch. I very much admire the ability to integrate this type of content in such a great package.

I would prefer to see a form to sign up for the newsletter instead of having to email some other domain to ask to be put on a list. I realize that is probably out of your control, but I was very reluctant to sign up for a newsletter in this fashion.

I love the navigation bar, the drop-down page indicator on the left -- and the music quality was very good once loaded.

9.7/10 -- Very tough to impvrove on this. Great job, Line.
