The Bells

This is a site that my brother and I made to showcase some of the artwork we have done. This is our second time making a site in flash, so we're really interested to see your responses. The site features our flash animations as well as links to the websites we have created. Feel free to take a look around the site and tell us how to make it better. Thanks.

- Johnny Bell, Dan Bell

It look quite good, but I feel if you can make contact page instead of using the mailto function will be nicer

bellfrenzy,

While I'm not a big fan of all-flash sites, I think yours is very well done.

I love your use of black and white with color here and there. I also like how you display information in the sidebar when you mouseover links (i.e. animations, web portfolio).

What I find distracting (and maybe it's just me) is the links on the home, website, and links page. It's a nice convenience to not have to wait for the animation to load before clicking on the links, I find myself focusing on the text links there with nothing around them...and like I said, maybe it's a good thing, but it just confuses me for a split second (although, I'm easily confused ). If that's your intention, then, cool.

Also, the flashing of the background image hurts my eyes. I'm not epileptic...but my eyes don't adjust to the blinking well.

I like the idea of your animations page, but two (very minor) things bother me about this page. (1) the film strips are sideways - I found myself sitting there for a good 10 minutes with my head tilted to the right trying to make out what each picture was. And (2) it doesn't quite match or blend in with the rest of your site. I realize that it's harder given the content, and there may be nothing that can be done about it...like I said, very minor things.

All in all, though, it's a very nice site. I would have watched the animations but I'm at work, and I don't have sound.

Besides, I really shouldn't be goofing off at work on forums...really...

Hmmm very nice site,

This may be a little off topic but Hostton mentioned making the contact a page instead of a mailto link (which i think is a good idea and i do myself). But if you have a email in a flash can this be seen by spammers or is this a way to protect your email address?

The problem using mailto is some of the user dont have pop mail on his computer. He might be check your Website out of home or office.
