Re: FLASH: Site check please

Hi Mike,


Pros:

This is a fun-looking site, I think because of the bold palette. It might have

special appeal for very active companies with young audiences, like surf and

snow board shops. Nice interface!


Cons:

I find the typeface used on the buttons and else where a little hard to read,

and even distracting. You don't want to sacrifice clear communication in your

type, no matter how much you like it!


You might want to use some graphics to convey what you are trying to say in

your type choice. It looks like action, adventure and fun to me. So be creative

and find some visuals to support your concept!


Keep going, and have fun!


Kati


P.S.


Keep your type the same size on your buttons!  And a  little breathing space

helps ALL type faces do a better job.
