Pardon me asking, but what is the fascination with using flash for rollover effects on buttons? Is there some software package that you're using to make the site that is making flash files for the rollovers? The effects you're producing could easily be duplicated with CSS rollovers or javascript. Why make the user download a bigger file instead of doing a little extra work.

Not to mention that Adblock in Firefox puts little tabbies on flash files so I can block the ones that are ads. Having a menu full of flash files = lots of tabbies.

What are you using for a comment system? Is that something you wrote yourself? It's something I'm trying to look into for my own team's site.


Yes I agree about the flash files. I am having the webmaster atleast remove the sound from each file. As far as the resolution I found that he is working off my monitor that is set at 1280*1024. We will be resizing everything to fit into a 800*600.

These are the items we need to hear about. Please pick our site apart and let us know how we can improve the look and feel.
