Phew. . For my personal taste - there were to many moving parts ( over 60 brigade) the writing on the header kept disappearing before I absorbed the second line. I seem to have forgotten what I read before it came up again. I think the visual effect is well overdone, to the extent it makes any information on the top half of the page very hard to absorb. (giddy even)

It it is sweet looking and does have "Pop" to it but Tubby may be right about having too much animation!

There is no need to animate the "areas of expertise" as the logos will all fit into the space.

Way too many moving parts.

The design looks good to me but I do agree with others that too many moving thing would make us lose focus easily. If our mind is not at ease we usually would run away from it.

Yup, Tubby's right on the money. There definitely too much animation. MUCH too much.

It's a beautiful layout but I'd recommend that you consider making the banner area shorter, about half its' current height, to reduce vertical scrolling and/or increase the amount of white space in the page and make the page a little easier for everyone to read.

Can about 80% of the animations that serve no real purpose, such as drawing the cityscape, repeatedly writing paragraphs line-by-line on the left and the PowerPoint-flavoured dissolve on the right side of the page.

Stop the animated logo strip in the footer altogether. It serve no logical purpose, so why do it? It's simply too distracting and you could easily display all the logos without animating them.

The rest of the pages seem to work and flow better, but here are a few more items that you might want to tweak:
  • The interior content pages "areas of expertise" sections are blank.
  • At 1024x768, the right side navigation menu can't be seen or clicked on without vertically scrolling. Move it up.
  • You've got two "Contact" links, both in the top section of every page ("Contact" and "Contact US"). Amalgamate them.
  • In FireFox, the CSS menu system would be nicer if the "I" were changed to a hand cursor when the user mouses over a sub category link. Just like it does with the main categories. The links are clickable, but there's no visual clue.
  • Change your page titles so that the company name is last and consider using unique page titles for every page.
  • Same goes for your meta keywords and meta description tags.
  • In the page footer, the "More Products" link text is not linked to anything.
  • Strip out the following redundant meta tags:
    Quote:
    <meta name="robots" CONTENT="index,follow" /> (This is the default action of a web bot)
    <meta name="distribution" CONTENT="global" /> (use this to localize your target audience, not for global reach)
    <meta name="author" content="Mr. Nasser Khan Ghazi" /> (This is all about ego)
    <meta name="classification" content="media" />
    <meta name="rating" content="Safe For Kids" /> (You're a business site, of course you're safe for kids.)
    <meta name="doc-rights" content="Copywritten Work" (You've got a copyright notice in the footer of every page.)
  • Convert any embedded JavaScripts to external JavaScripts.
  • Use CSS to style your tables and cells. You'll significantly reduce html code, make the site easier to update and reduce page load times.

The load time check actually checks the amount of data downloaded, and how long it would take to download that on a modem. With broadband so prevalent in the US, I personally don't think it's important, unless you expect visitors from the developing world.

I agree with everyone else, I like that animation, but there's too much. Particularly the menus, which open down AND slide in from the left. Either would be cool, both together clash.

I agree. A definate case of overcomplicating a simple site in an effoert to make it seem like more than it is.

I went right to your Flash portfolio(my particular interest) and none of your samples loaded. It may bebecause you are linking directly to the swf file. Try putting your Flash portfolio samples into an html page.

Otherwise a clean average looking site.
