I finally have my site up and running. It's still kind of bare bones right now, but everything with all the photos should be up by tomorrow. As always, if you have any comments or critiques, I highly appreciate it! I've always appreciated this comm's opinions.

What bothers me the most is the intro. The "we are open for business" thing... it's just a wee bit bothersome and it doesn't segway quite well into your website. I feel like it could be taken out completely and provide an even better web experience.

Hm...I was thinking about making it so that once a person sees the intro once, then they won't see it again if they ever come back to the site via cookies. I think it would be good to see it once - perhaps just once - and not after that. I'd still like to keep it (and it took so long to code each of those individual letters T____T)

It also seems like I should up the size of the font. If there are any other suggestions, please keep them coming!

I suppose that would be okay. I felt the same way as Alison towards the "We Are Open for Business" portion, but it redeemed itself a bit when I noticed how it was perfectly synched up with the background music... but still, even though your intention was to align it with the song, the loading time between each word is a bit slow. People expect lightning fast especially with the internet, and 15 seconds just to read a 5-worded sentence is a bit bothersome. For me anyway, that alone will hold a lasting negative impression and potential clients may feel this way as well.

But beyond that, the flash work was good overall. I really liked the part of the intro where all the floating letters came together; it was a nice touch.
