Aside from that i can't read a thing (Hebrew?), it's a very nice presentation.
Fast to navigate, relaxed lounge music. Kudos!

You could reduce the amount of pre-loading. Progressive loading is one of the great features of web applications, so instead of of loading all content upfront, you could just load the music_mc and the first few images.

5 Stars.

I agree with Adrian.

The loading time is killer, way too long.

Nice website and renders- I don't have a sound card in my CAD machine so don't know about the music. My only constructive critic would be the

Load time is very long
The way the images scroll and then "bounce" back makes me slightly ill after scrolling through your wonderful renders.

Very nicely done overall though!!!

thanx people !
I don't know a thing about flash so I'll ask the guy who made it if he can change stuff, but since most of us have fast connections I'm not sure if it's necessary...

I think it's quite the opposite. Since it takes a long time to load ON A FAST CONNECTION, then it should be modified to load faster. I can only imagine waiting for that thing to load on a slower connection away from work.

Very Impressive work, but the site is very annoying. It takes way too long to load, and I am on a very fast connection, that could be fixed though. And STOP that awful place bounce on each and every image...it is so overdone. The work is strong enough to stand on it's own, cut out the "website as performance art" tendency. Just the facts man, just the facts. But most important...make it fast and easy.

...the problem is that this template is made to load all the images from the beginning instead of load them on demand, so is going be heavier if you keep updating your site with more images.

Your swf is 6358 KB...and you're loading 50 images in a row, that's still too much even for broadband connections.

...don't forget to delete the "privacy policy" button (there's an "Over" close to the copyright) ...is still clickable and if you press it there's a "Lorem ipsum.." text on a window.

The contents (renders) are very nice

cool renders.. but..

- toooo long to load...
- images of different quality...

Just remove 1/2 images.. just put the really best ones... 8) (and you have quiet a few really good ones..)

In the past I was also showing all I had in stock.. not good.. I've lost a job that way... as the propected client was turning the pages , he saw a "really no big deal image" that he really did not like.. and explaining that the budget for that picture was very very small did not suffice nor helped..

Same here.


1. If you have an existing client and you send them to the website ( where you've had oppurtunity to explain the long load time ... probably no problem.

2. Unknown potential client just surfing around .... big problem. Pretty much ineffective in it's present state. It took close to 40 seconds to load before the first page appeared. Nobody hangs around for more than 10 sec. on an unknown site.

3. Love the big renders.
