You might want to get yourself on the map: [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum1/HTML/003377.html]www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum1/HTML/003377.html[/url] Initial thoughts: 1. Splash screens always make me nervous nice colours and nice look though (you might also want to use body {overflow: auto } to kill the scrollbars). 2. And I was right to be nervous - Opera has a fit 'Address type unknown or unsupported' and 6 'Illegal addresses'. I must assume that this is due to a full screen pop up that I get in IE6. Pop ups are bad fullscreen ones worse. I also don't see any reason for it. 3. While we are discussing IE6 I'd turn off the image toolbar as it doesn't do you any favours. 4. You'll need to preload the images for the mouseover on the left as on a dialup it takes a while to ome through and I was wondering if anything was going to happen. Quite frankly as the links are replicated down below too I don't see why anyone would bother using a strange unintuitive piece of navigation like that (it may be me but the image seems a bit jaggy and the top and sides of the circles look a little flat). 5. In the text on you main page I wouldn't have the pfusion bit in the link colour. 6. On your other pages you have click for menu and the menu revealing is a little 'sudden' and utterly pointless as the links are replicated on the page. Who is going to use that feature when it takes longer to access and is less intuitive? 7. On the company page the ordering subpage is missing its border. 8. On the contact page we no longer have the simpler set of links. I haven't been able to view your source so I'll return to that tomorrow. Overall it looks OK - nice colours, simple layout, etc. but I just didn't feel I was using a web page - it struck me more like a simple multimedia CD-ROM interface which in my opinion is a bad thing. Where it really falls down is usability - I just don't see why anyone would use that symbol as navigation there is nothing it adds. As ZOX pointed out there are some mysterious things who's use escapes me (arrows and refresh) and the whole thing seems designed to confuse a novice user who would probably give up in despair. I would suggest a rethink of your whole strategy there - which seems a bit harsh but you do have some things going for you and I think presenting it as a web page with more consistent, simpler navigation would really work for you.
