New Online portfolio site (Flash)

[StephanD]

Same thing here,at first I thought I was having server problems.

1mb here and after 4%,I regrettably closed the window.

EDIT???I posted after magic6435

Ja did something wrong because it seems like a nice simple site but it took 2 min to load ..........im on a 1.5 mb line

yeh im on broadband myself ...... and it does seem take quite a while 2 load ........ i think its because of the server im on, its my friends server, ill get intouch with him and sort it out .... :)

sorry ppl :(

You could also optimize your images more to speed things up.

194k is awful heavy for a 640x480 image.

You could get it down to about 40k and before you notice any artifacts.

the same problem here,I have comcast about 3000 kb/s and take for ever to load.

Not bad considering your age.

Some suggestions:
Play with more colours, contrast can sometimes bring in good effects.
Try pixel fonts, much clearer.


Hope that helps :)

very clean and simple site.
the flash is a bit wasted though =(
theres no animation anywhere...

and yes it took me about 1 minute to load the site

[Mana]

What I don't understand is,why the loading kinda flash bar thing is for? because show is loading an animation (flash?) and then you enter to a page with no animation,also an image 290 kb load little by little,biside that,the page is well organize and clean.

all the best.

[DJB343]

hey AzNightmare your site is really nice .... i mean REALLY NICE .. i was trying too go for that kinda look, but at the moment I dont have a clue how to do most of the stuff thats on your site, im a total novice at flash and this was my first go at it.

I have a fast internet connection and the first swf had 1:46 min.
Make the main swf more smoll.
On the render, put the title of the render, the 3d program, and the render´s time.
On the first html, put that is a Daniel Baiton´s Portfolio, or anything, ¿what is the web?
Put the meta name description, keywords, and more meta names.

What's the purpose of having a 'leave' link on your splash page? Don't you want people to stay?:shrug:

[teagan]

nice start here. i definetly agree, take the "Leave" off the splash page. it does take a long time to load, how big is the background graphic? i love your 3d work and you are hiding it with the background graphic. i think your site gets lost. could you recreate the bg in flash or illustrator?
