I love the logo.

However, the site said I needed a Flash plugin, which I don't. That grey on white causes too much eye strain.

Finally some sweet flash funktastic-ness! I'm not a big fan of intros, but that's just killer!! Is there some after effects in there??
The large sliding nav on the bottom got to be a little annoying, especially when I was trying to turn of the sound and couldn't because the nav kept sliding up. Other than that, fun site and great work!!

That's awesome! Nice work! Logo in the intro could appear a little faster but other than that, the site is what D-Frag said - Badass!

Who says doodling isn't constructive?!

I think by now you know the Logo and intro where ''OFF THE HOOK'

Really nice work and welcome to the forum!

i almost skipped the intro because the first part (logo) was kinda boring...i was thinking...i can do that THEM BAM kick ass stuff....I would shorten the logo stuff and get straight to the BAM KICK ASS STUFF

I'm now thinking aboutredesign, as not many people find it easy to navigate. If you have any suggestions, please post here.

Thank you all for your input!

Perm-- I laughed for like 2 minutes at your new avatar. You crack me up!

Sherri-- I like the slide out navigation...I even use it on my own site. The thing that made your site a little hard to navigate was how far the nav slides out. It covers up half of your main section. And I like the idea of a back/next feature, but it's a little frustrating to use on your site. It's at the top of your navigation movie clip, so it's visible when your nav is hidden...but as soon as you get your cursor close to it, your nav slides up and takes the back/next buttons with it.

Does the nav need to slide out that far?
Could the nav have an on/off state instead of it being activated by a roll over?
Would it help to see what's going on if the nav background was a little transparent?
Just some thoughts....great work though!!!

After I regained conciousness from the massive seizures your site incurred due to all the flash, I realized that it's pretty amazing. A little disorienting at times with the bottom menu moving up and down all the time, but overall, really nice!

I think the graphics, photography, and overall look of the site are fan-pancakeing-tastic. The portfolio and flash intro are both very strong. But from a functionality standpoint, I still don't like the way the top and bottom menu bars move on the rollover. It's like, I want to click on this thing, then it moved, so I couldn't and had to move to get it. That's kind of annoying to me. *shrug* Maybe you could have the menu bars move up and down after they're clicked, instead of rollevers. I don't know. Just my opinion. Excellent job, though!
