Looks really nice.

I dont like how it is all made in Flash though this causes so many problems.

Because of this you will never be able to do well in search engines as when the site gets crawled it wont see any content.

Also the text is to small for me and I cound not even change the size though my browser as it is made with Flash. You can easyly change that so the text is adjustable even though it is done in Flash, but still that is not the only thing.

Because it is Flash it is advisable to setup some access keys as you cannot navigate the site without a mouse at the moment.

Also you do realise anybody with Javascript disabled (Said to be 10% of people) carnt see anything but a plain blue screen as the Flash has been embeded using Javascript.

Here is an article that explains the advantages and disadvantages of making sites with Flash.

I hope that has gave you a few Ideas on what could be better but not sounded to harsh. The site looks great but it is just the fact it is made in Flash that has caused all the problems I mentioned.

Simple and clean Nice and easy-to-find display of the contact info.
I have no opinion on the flash part since I don't use flash.. Hmm I don't really like the fonts, I think Verdana or Tahoma would look better
In the Applications page, have you tried erasing the thin white line outside the dark blue border of the big image? And when you click on one, you can still see the move cursor on the image once it has loaded, but i guess that's on your todo list.
Did you design the logo as well? It looks cool!
Very well done dazz_club!

Hi, thanks for you two looking at my site very much appreciated.

Thanks for your comments John Eva.


As my site is entirely flash i needed to solve the problem of double clicking that has to be done when using the internet explorer browser,( i know this is my fault but i needed to find out how to overcome it for future projects.)

Doing my research i found out there is a way to disable the double click problem with the help of javascript by embeding the swf file. So i followed the tut, and done it, now i know and i am that little bit knowledgeable then i was before.

Coming on to the SEO question. I strongly believe with the use of javascript and action scripting it will allow the bots/spiders to crawl into either the swf file or a well placed html file or even both and this will no longer be a problem. As it is a slight one at the moment i will have to do my research as i dont want to give in and i am sure there is a way round it. I believe this can be seen if you choose to google nike. Click on the first result and you will notice that this site is made purely from flash by checking the source code, and it would also reveal the javascript enabled the bots/spiders to crawl inside the files and retrieve the neccessary information to give the site a high ranking.

The minor two comments you made are easily recitified by creating a tabindex in the swf file to enable total navigation. The fonts, they are small arent they but i just love how crisp they look compared to any of the rest i have seen.


To lalalogic, you are correct it is on my "to do list" i find this funny as i thought i only use a to do list when doing websites, lol. As comments for the logo thanks for your comments i did do it myself using photoshop.

cheers for your guys comments.
