First client work since I started college....

what do you guys think? All coding was done by hand using text edit and images in photoshop 7.0. Flash 5 was also used.

Re: First client work since I started college....
Very nice. I like it a lot.

A few minor suggestions.

1) Lose the splash page.
Every computer sold in the last 4 to 5 years has 1024x768 as the base resolution. I don't know of anyone with a resolution set smaller than that anymore. Every browser in the last several years comes with Flash either pre-installed. And if someone doesn't have it, you simply write the script into the web page to automatically download it (it's quite easy really). And finally, every browser in every commercial computer already has a frames capable browser pre-installed since the late 90's/early 2000's.

There's just no need for that splash page, and it serves to do nothing but slow a user down from getting to your main page. Plus, it's too small to read anyway.

2) About those pictures...
I began by clicking the next photo button, but as soon as I heard the music start, I sat back for a moment to listen, and read more about you... soon forgetting to click "next" again to view more photos. Perhaps having the photos automatically change out every 5 seconds or so would be a nice addition.

Great use of color and layout and other than the two suggestions, if it were my site, I wouldn't change a thing.

Re: First client work since I started college....
to my knowledge i dont think there is a propertie in CSS that will allow you to stop anti-aliasing because thats a platform specific function. (mac osx only..)

Re: First client work since I started college....
I think you're right, it's more of an OS level task and I don't know of any CSS tag or hack that will remove it from a web page.
