It is alright, although I am not a fan of it being just flash, nor the fact that you have used Times New Roman.

The logo is okay to an extent, but it is something I would revise if I were hoping to make it "big" as a band.

It is very simple, but I have no idea what the size of the swf is as I am on a very fast connection and it pretty much appeared instantly.

Either way, not bad for a first site in terms of layout.

As for code, you are working from the dark ages, and I suggest you have a look at www.w3schools.org to learn a bit more about html.

Hi,

Not a bad site at all I like it. Although change the font from times new roman.

Well, it looks ok. I dont think it quite warrants the use of flash, as you could make an html/css version of that site and you wouldnt detract from the visual experience much. My philosophy is that if you are gonna use flash, make it worth the time I sit here eagerly anticipating its download! I think you could make it much more interactive, quirky (in a good way) and animated using flash than you currently are.

Still, it's ok as far as it goes, keep at it :)

I don't mind the design, but agree with redhead on the flash. Your code is unsemantic etc - no DTD, no character encoding..done in frontpage:eek:.

There are loads of different tutorials available on the internet of which you can learn more about XHTML/CSS.

man, thanks guys for all your replys, im just now realizing how much i have NO IDEA whats goin on with this stuff...i have very little understandin of what you all are talkin bout...i used flash simply because i studied animation in school, and the whole keframe animation deal made sense to me...when you say my coding is from the dark ages, is that cause its simple (i guess i dont really know how yall can tell what my coding was anyway...im really new with this...) anyway, thanks for the tutorial links and all your replys, gives me somethin to work on
thanks again, you guys are awesome

I hate Flash sites... Besides that, I like how it is. Its not set up in a small area like most that I've seen are. I love the combo of colors, orange and black, never would've thought of that. Maybe try another font, and the choice for a html site instead... Sometimes people on a dial up modem dont want to wait for flash to load.
