Dan - it's cool, but you might want to be careful with the strobe effect.

May sound stupid, but you can never be too careful re: warnings these days...........

hope petrucci see's this then, I see your point though but maybe a skip FLSH intro option would cover that.

for the work - but in my real world I would have clicked off before the end and gone somewhere else.

For 'me' long flash style intros don't work.

I want to know what you do (not aimed specifically at you Danny) and how much it is without all the fairy lights and tinsel of a kids christmas.

If that don't make sense im sorry Iv'e had a bang on the head

WHEN the site is complete you'll see exactly what the company does. and as previously said maybe an option to skip the intro would favour people like yourself that like the details, not the flashing lights and bells.

Sorry that wasn't very constructive of me.

I think the intro is a quality job and certainly acheives what it was set out to do.

But I'd question the point in it. Firstly people seriously don't like Flash intro's and secondly I'd be concerned about the image it gives. I'd say it makes you look more like yet another body kit and alloys type company you see in Max Power mags.

Would be 10x more effective with just a decent company logo, no animation and a proper targeted positioning statement imho

woaaa chill out peeps ... OF COURSE it will have a skip intro button, but not before the rest of the site is finished, as i'm sure you'll find logical
If you had read the page, it is written "coming soon"...
and thanks for the ones posting kind words

Sorry to be picky, but a couple of spelling errors that jumped off the page at me.

On the main page:

certificate in mechanicle engineerng

The teams used to brake their gear boxes so we had to try and develope

Otherwise, looking good!
