updated website

check out www.millcase.com
the flash portion, not the html.
i know it takes a little time to load and there are no animations yet.
there are many improvements i can make but it took me so long just to come up with that update. i'm so uninspired.
comments will be appreciated. no need to be polite, it won't help me.
i need honest opinions on how to improve it (apart from what i already have in mind)

Font seems a bit narrow. The smaller sizes are harder to read.

The art direction is pretty cool, Ryan. But you may want to heed the basic architectural principle of "form follows function":

- I suggest you make your product image on the splash page much larger and perhaps standing upright or maybe at an angle or something. Preferreably occupying about 1/3 of the page so that it leaps out at the viewer and they get what it is immediately.

- The text is blurry and rather hard to read. You'll have to adjust that in Flash. With the HTML version, use plain text for the copy, not graphics.

- I would suggest putting a large button on every section labled "Where Can I Buy?" or something like that. You want to make it easy for people to get information on how to purchase your mill case, right? ;)

- You might want to provide more material in your products page about your product - benefits, what it's made of, etc. Citing just the key points make it look a little bare and the user is left to have to put two and two together

- Make the pictures on your Advantages section much larger. They're too small. This is the information you need to get to your visitors immediately. I suggest merging your Advantages section with the Products section.

- Put up the HTML version soon. The Flash version is too big.

- Overall, while the design is simple and clean and the art direction is good, try to focus more on content. Add more copy describing your product to get the user interested in it. The objective of your web site should be to SELL your product :)

Keep it up, Ryan! :)

I have to agree with Bob. The fonts are just too small and the content to long and cumbersome to read. I recommend that you even use SEO (search engine optimized words) to help lead people to your site. I'll check google adwords to see what are the most popular search terms in this category.

I also reco shorter, crisper copy.

Hey, hey, hey! We're all friends here...what's up with repeated "anonymous" postings? I realize that some people prefer it, hence the option, but why the sudden sense of "hiya?"
