Hi Friends,

i want to know your response for intro part of my website as some says its bit longer and takes time to load

my website http://www.thebrandsaloon.com

Didn't watch it, couldn't be bothered waiting for it to load, like 90% of people, time is a commodity that seems to be in short supply.

 

Just my $0.02

 

I rarely ever watch intro's, unless the intro pre-loader grabs my attention.

Nope,your friends are wrong.It's not a"bit" longer than it should.It's insanely long.

It loaded fast for me but didn't have the patience to look at it.I mean when you browse the web you just wanna see the freakin website not watch 5 minutes before you even know how the website looks. You usually see 30 seconds and then hit the back button or continue reading.

 

I usually go on google.Search some keywords and open tabs with about 6 websites.I just read a bit and see how the website looks and etcetera then in 40 sec I close 5 of them.

Anyway if you decide to keep an intro make it like 5 times shorter.

 

otherwise,the website itself looks very good.

Looks like a fair few of us go ott on tabbing

 

Plus the landing page is the most valuable page, it's the pinpoint of seo, it connects everything together. And then theirs the three click rule, etc. etc.

 

Sorry but i just dislike intro's, i dislike flash sites enough. I remember when i used to use flash intro's, oh happy days (:

 

Someone made me a cool one once (atleast i thought so) with the song sandstorm, by darude.... aaaaaaaaah memories *goes rummaging through music library*

Thanx Stefyx,

i will definately make it shorter.

thanx for sparing your precious time for it.

I didn't bother watching it, anything that takes too long to load isn't worth looking at.

thanx for sparing your precious time for it.

 

 

 

i waited for the flash, watched it, and thought it was alright. then i got to the main site and though i was on another website entirely, then i saw that your company was an internet marketing/seo specialist.

 

how about embedding the flash in the header of the main site?

I agree that the video looks completely different to the website and looks like there is no relation.

 

I actually liked the video, it was quite long and slow but the idea is there. I liked the background sounds.

Still takes alot of skill to achieve something like that, well done.

 

Also there is big type saying 'SKIP INTRO' so those who choose not to watch it can simply 'skip intro' !!

 

peace out

It's about SEO.... see it didn't really tell me that until about 50 secs into the animation

Hi

Thanx for the comments mate

got to the flash and switched off... didn't tell me what your business does... i still dont know, i thought maybe something to do with hair then wondered what the invisible bit had to do with it.

 

nice flash but just way too long

I think you need to ask yourself - "what purpose does it serve?" The basis of many good design decisions.....
