first of all take out that splash page.. it's really cool but just too big in filesize. I had to wait ages to see it!

the background images are really cool but just too big (in filesize again)... all the pages load slow.

The navigation is good and simple.

overall opinion:

A nice site but just too slow. Fix that.

I on the other hand liked the splash page. it only took a second to load, the one criticism i have about it is that the spherical wireframe in my eyes looks a little uneven, like its taller or wider (one of them). the actual page is ok but again there is a lot of space on the page aside from the background you made. so i would have made it a popup window with no scrolling and that your background fits perfectly. but then again not a lot of people like pop ups.

I think your resume should be on the actual layout of the page or maybe in an iFrame. and aswell your links should be made on the actual layout.

I really like the actual site just that it would be better if the background fit the window perfectly and the wireframe was fixed. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say :D

I like it and it didn't load long for me...but I am on cable so I wouldn't know how long it takes 56kers. I have an idea, since your using such small of a space y not open up the pages in a new window from the splash page, and force the window to be the same size as the box in every page. I think that would make the pages look more clean. and if you don't know flash yet, those pages would look great in flash you might wanna give it a try ;)

I agree 100%!

Like the design it is real nice. Like all tha shapes maybe optimize your images a bit have a preloader or something cause when you backround loads in ticks it doesn''t look to good. But real nice man.

THANKS!!!!!
