I enjoyed seeing your site.  I think that you created an interesting,

sophisticated atmosphere that fit well with the content of your site.


I found that the buttons to close windows and drag did not have very user

friendly hotspots...they were just the "x" image which was harder than it

should have been to click on.  I was confused as to why you needed to have

your windows drag.  I use dragable windows a lot, but usually its because It

is possible to bring up several windows at once or two windows are

interacting or one window's size varies greatly (I bring up images with no

consistent size).  There is a nice complexity to the pop-ups and I noticed

the transparent elements but I couldn't bring up more than one window at a

time and they were all relatively small.  Unless you plan on creating a need

for being able to drag them it might be better to have them pop up at

specific locations which will allow you to integrate them into your design.

Also, the first opening (or expansion) of the browser window has a certain

interest, but visually its not very exciting...maybe its just a little too

slow.
