Hey, kinda unrelated to airsoft, but I've been working on my business website and was just looking for a little critique.

First and foremost, take off the flash intro with the annoying music. I didn't even look at the site because of that factor, the first time around. If your going to have clients look at that site, you want to have:

I'll have to agree that the first few clicks had me wondering what I was getting myself into. I'm still used to long loads on my dinosaur computer but nobody wants that wait on a reasonable one.

thanks, and the new version will have less to load, as well as WAAAYYY better organized information, so it shouldn't take as long to load. and, since i worked my butt off to make that intro video, i think i will either end up removing it and using it as an example of flash design work, or remove it as an intro and use it as a little advertisement banner or something. at any rate, thanks a million for your critique!

Agreed, The flash was a nice idea for tell those what you can do, though I would suggest having that as your site's banner, while having the remainer of the site in HTML, CSS, PHP, just due to easier fixing in spelling and general updates. The site doesn't need to be big, flashy, and large in everything. Simple pages color-themed with the banner (if you really like the idea) and a simple to navigate navbar.

Splash screens are unnecessary.

dreamweaver and many other HTML-editors have a {page size} / {bandwidth} = [loadtime] and you should always base it off 96 or 129k connections.
