Just to be an asshole, and since you plugged yer site and left i'm gonna rip it apart verbally, just to relieve some post honours report stress

For a start, where the feck is the navigation and how are people without Flash plugins supposed to know where to go?

There whole site is flash without any HTML alternative.

Plus, after it FINALLY loaded completely, i then had to wait while all the flash components of the nxt page loaded. A preloaded would work fine here, at least that way people will know how long to wait before they get to decide where they want to go. I'm sitting in Uni on a T1 connection at 3.45am and it still takes an age to load. Shoot yer designer <img border="0" alt="[Eek]" title="" src="graemlins/eek.gif" /> , actually no, do something less drastic, cos he's gonna have to do some more work on the site

Everypage takes a while to load <img border="0" alt="[Freak]" title="" src="graemlins/freak.gif" /> . Too many large unoptimized graphics and flash files.
<img border="0" alt="[Eek]" title="" src="graemlins/eek.gif" />
if you're gonna have a big site that takes a long time to load, why not have a flash preloader on the very first page that loads up the whole site in 1 go, that'll make navigation faster in the long run.

That is the end of my constructive critism.

Peace out

i'm off to bed cos the uni labs here stink of sweaty people and coffee. <img border="0" alt="[Looking]" title="" src="graemlins/looking.gif" />

I agree.

The worst part is the page with 16 buttons that are pics. None of them have any indication as to what they are. You then have to hover over them to get a word to know what it links to and then some of them arent even links.

Maybe its cos im on 56k at home, but I hate shit like that. Whats wrong with one side of the screen having the NAMES of the pages you want to go to then them being displayed in the other half of the page. Similar to the start of this site. Its just bad design.

Hi heres this car, oh sorry the windows are the same colour as the door, you couldnts ee out, here you go, rolled em down for you, now go in. Hey nothings where it normally is in a car. Ill pull this lever, oh thats the horn. Whats this lever, oh that one does nothing. Ill grab this one, ooooh accelerate, now wheres the brake (16 levers later) ah here it is.

hehe, its even worse now. I think the should get rid of the Flash, cos it dont serve any purpose. The mouse over effects could easily have been done using Java and would have taken a lot less time to load up using a simple Java preloader (goes into tech head mode)

It looks like, but a good looking site can fail dramatically if it is impossible to navigate with ease. innit
