Our new front page. What do you think
 

This is what my webmaster has been doing today. :thumbsup

Give me your opinions.

It's not working 100% yet, but would be nice to have some opinions.

Are you designers? I thought you guys sold content?

Why the need for a big ass splash page? Just show me the content :)

That flash stuff is all fucked up, it keeps repeating itself every 4-5 seconds

Flash loaded slow here on cable, so that might be a bad part. Also, I don't really see the need for a long flash intro - a fairly simple splash page with a good representation of your content would be better imo. :2 cents:

flash loaded slow here and the first girl on it is fucking ugly.

Best looking content site design I have seen. With the move to semi exclusive or exclusive content too I think you will do very well.

Most content sites look like they have been designed by clueless amateurs and are also an absolute nightmare to navigate. Serious webmasters are busy people and time = $$$. Hard to navigate content sites usually get looked at just once.

The flash sucks. It also restarts everytime I onmouseover it.

I like the girls in the T-shirts.... but not to wait for them and then see them repeating aganin and again ....

Your nice Content deserves better :)

That Flash gets annoying, just let it not loop, but add some effects to the image.

The flash stuff is all fucked up, it keeps repeating itself every 4-5 seconds

1) I don't like nor find the cookie-cutter cross over the picture display any use, and it makes it look bad.

2) "Specialized in" should be horizontal on top of the category listings, not used as a divider.

3) The bottom link bar doesn't work for me for some reason..

4) What are you going to do with all all of that whitespace?

Cheers,
Matt

It's STILL loading for me and I've been waiting over 3 minutes.. for those of us who have no choice but slower connections, it's definitely not ideal. I'll tell you what it looks like when it finishes loading, probably sometime in 2004 :)

The top looks nice though! :)

It is sexy, but that flash loaded god damn slow.
ZoiNk

loads extremely slow.
the old front page was totally fine, no need for a change.

Amen, that new page is shit.

fuck Charly , after reading some replies here , I think you should fire the webmaster and find new hosting :1orglaugh
ok seriously - I have no design skills so I really can't say anything
I think the best is to ask some pro designer (experienced one ) to do that job - I am planning do that too

looks like the page is nearly empty in Opera :(

interesting.... going for the minimalist feel huh?

here's what I see...

wtf am I looking at?

so it means you like it right?

hell yeah... it's definately hot...

Yep, this minimalist theme is a big improvement over your previous design. Good job! :thumbsup
