The intro is flashy and the music sounds good, but ppl should have the option of skipping it. Also, what's up with the loading timers? Ppl should only have to load ONCE and then they should navigate as fast as possible. Plz, get rid of the loading bar.

It's really good! One of the best-looking JJ2 sites I've ever seen (but I haven't seen many :p).

It looks nice at first sight, but if you look closer it's not really good. The scrollbar looks strange, the buttons have dodgy borders, the font used for the navigation elements and headlines doesn't fit, and the background/content overflows the borders at some places.

(Hey, I can only comment on the website, not on the content, because there's none :))

No, seriously, you should improve the design... so far, I didn't like it at all. Whatever Flash said.

I guess you need the Macromedia <s>Sers</s> Flash player for it to work, Chip. ^^

Works fine now, but there's no content at all.

It's okay, but I don't really like an all flash site. And, there's no content, so that's kind makes it hard to judge.

it's an OK flash template, but you forgot to fill out the "contact us" part so it just says "your contact information"

It honestly has nothing to do with JJ2 at all. I just see a bunch of random flash effects and not much in the way of order.

True. That's exactly what I thought when I visited that site.

USE HTML. <b>USE HTML!!! <i>USE. HTML!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</b></i>



This is 2005. Flash sites are no longer fun.

But yeah, what Mike said.

You probably put a lot of work into the Flash on the site but it gets old extremely quickly and honostly it's annoying. Ask yourself if there is any specific reason you need to use Flash for all of the content. It's quite an inconvenience on many, many levels - not just for people browsing, but for you. People shouldn't have to learn to use your content layout.

Besides that, it's obvious you're trying to make a good site. If you want to use Flash to add interesting (but non-essential) stuff for the site, that's a little better. But using it for everything is just an awful idea (unless there's a specific reason to or if it's exceptionally well-made).

It's kind of illogical to first say you release a site, so that all people go there, and notice it's empty, and then say they must wait :P

The best way would've been to wait until there's some content there before releasing it.

You shouldn't have said you made a site btw, you should've said you edited a template. Truth 0wns.

<span style="font-size: 3px;">*showoff* I can make flash sites myself! http://3dsite.html (though it's 2 years old :P) */showoff* </span>

I know why the site doesn't work for some people.

The latest Windows IE automatically lists freewebs as a restricted site that could potentially damage or corrupt data on your computer (because no one in their right mind should trust freewebs IMO)

You can fix this by deleting the entry for freewebs under restricted sites in your internet settings... AT YOUR OWN RISK


Edit: I took a chance, luckily this is not one of said untrustable sites -phew-

The white text on gray is hard to read, and as was said before, too many flashy animations, it's not all necessary.

Edit2: I also suggest finding a new host if you want more people to visit your site, either that or get rid of the flash stuff.

As people said before, it's all eyecandy, nothing useful.

Also, if you're making a flash website that's meant to strech to the browser's size, MAKE SURE ALL THE GRAPHICS IN THE .SWF FILE ARE IN VECTOR FORM. It looks really ugly when you have raster-style graphics streched out to some ambigous form like 313.37%. If you really want to make your website look great, aim for simplicity. If it works for Google, then why not you?
