I'd love to hear your thoughts for my company's website. This is a small startup that has been a blasty blast getting off the ground.

Looks very good.....just a few thoughts:

1. The intro is great, but maybe just a little too long? It starts to lose the viewer's attention towards the end.

2. On strategy page 1, the far right margin may need to be slightly adjusted. The word "ambient" is cut-off a bit.

3. On the contact page, should it not be "Inquiries" instead of "Inquires?"

Those are my initial thoughts. Great site. Great concept.

The intro takes too long to load. I'm betting no one will wait for it. I, myself, have never been a fan of sights that make noise. Unless its something specific I ask to hear, I find it annoying.

Th main body is interesting. It has a unique look and feel that I like. I would throw a splash of color here and there though. It is a bit to monochromatic.

Overall, nice work!

what's the typical cost for 1 show in 1 city?

Neat idea, I would be pushing for a nationwide Lexus account etc.

i waited for the intro and then saw it for 5 seconds before losing interest.

I really like the Lens, its kinda fun to play around with and the rest of the site looks real good

same for the intro, dump it, it has not point.


i didn't get the point of the lense. the site was kinda boring besides the pages flipping.

That's a fantastic idea.

Thanks for the thoughts guys. The intro is indeed a bit long, but seems to be an industry standard for marketing firms, perhaps we should challenge this?

Thanks again for the compliments and comments, right now we are trying to sell the distribution system. We made the mistake of approaching the representing firms of several luxury product manufacturers (BMW being one), and soon learned how territorial and unimaginative they are. The plan now is to approach the actual company, not the contracted firm, which is a very exhausting exercise of thumbing through the mental Rolodex finding someone who knows someone.

Anyway, I am sure that is more than you guys wanted to know. Thanks again for the comments. Keep em coming!

When my wife and I were building our website, we found a fair amount of research that indicated that if you are going to have a flash, do not put a skip button on it. Everyone hits the skip button.

Is the entire website to be about this lens? If so, make that more obvious. If the site is about your company first, then expand on your company, with the lens information as a frame inside your company. (hope that makes sense)

One last idea (this comes from "How to Win Friends and Influence People"). Don't tell me how great you are, but tell me how you can help me. It took me 2 pages to fully understand your product and how it might help me market my company. You need that up front, with the details of your company later. If I'm not sold that you can help me, I won't read any more. (look at it from your customers point of view)

(If some of this was covered in the flash, sorry, but I didn't watch it because my computer is slow today)

I recommend alfatech's webhosting as well. I have never had it go down, and connection speed is always good.

My 2 cents:

1. Intro is great, but too long. Get to the point quicker.
2. Get to the WIFM "what's in it for me?" much sooner and clearer. A lot of decision makers will lose interest or won't save the time to dig through 2 pages to decipher what your value prop is. The statement of the impact you can make to someone's organization through your services or product needs to be clearer, concise, more powerful. Upon initial review, I almost asked myself, "what do they do?"...can't be a good thing.

I really enjoyed the unique layout of the website. good concept and best of luck!
