It works in Safari, Flock, and Firefox (although there seems to be a "pop" in the transition. I'm working on that).

Also note that I haven't hooked up the download links yet.

Any comments?

Hmm the support and contact links give me a 404...
the design is what is hot and trendy right now...
I would make the software icons bigger and put a little more description and space between them...
thats is just my opinion...:rolleyes: :cool:

I like it, but it's a bit "offline" for my taste :rolleyes:

Yes sorry. I haven't started any other pages than the one I linked you to (and the product pages that are linked on that).

The fade effect is nice, but it makes it seem slower. I'd ditch it for a speedier web page.

May I ask what speed computer you are on? It's really zippy on my Dual G5

I'm on a dual G5 too. Maybe I'm just imagining it :rolleyes: ;)

Well I have the whole delay set at .3 second for the fade out and then .3 for the fade in. I could make it zippier but it might look choppy on slow computers.

I really like the design and layout of the site. Real easy to navigate. The fade does get a tad bit in the way though

I just thought... if you're going to do a fade effect, you should do the entire site as AJAX. Then it would fit well. But the fade + reload doesn't really match.

a little long to load - stops for a few seconds w/page launch - I'm using a 3.0 mbps connection..

Would have the top buttons have a change for mouse rollover (highlight text or such).

Otherwise, once loaded - nice site.

Loaded fine for me, very fast in Safari 2.0.2 and Explorer 5.2.3, on a mini Mac., DSL connection.

Great site. Keep it simple when it matures. The fade thingy is smooth. ;)
