I flippin LOVE it! Absolutely AWESOME!

[BradBuffalo]

Great site.

[aerosolcheese]

Looks very nice and elegant. The only thing I don't care for is the music. Usually when I am surfing the web, I have itunes going with my own music, and it usually annoys me when I navigate to a site with music. Just my opinion. Visually, it looks very nice.

[jgrindal]

I'm diggin it.

[HotHolly]

Its good. Always be thinking - whats the next step to brand it even better?

I'd personally like to see another color introduced as an accent and then carried through the site, logo, and blog.

If you can brand even stronger, would you want to?

yea, we've gone back and forth on the music thing and i think we settled on this b/c #1, it comes in softly, and #2, it sets the mood for which we want people to view our work.... who knows, we might change our mind in 6 months haha. appreciate the honesty though!

thanks holly! we were going for something simple. our previous 'look' is about the opposite of this one, so we wanted to ease into it. i think there's a little something more out there that could elevate the brand. well, i KNOW there is...since we put this together ourselves. i can only imagine what it would look like with a pro handling our image/branding! one step at a time, eh?

Looks great to me. I didn't find the sexy part but I noticed the classy part. Enjoyed reading up on how you got the name "Table 4" too.

Almost makes me want to redo my own site. I'm just not feeling that ambitious. If I thought it would bring more business I would though.

I think the site is very symbolic of your personality and shooting style.
Modern, Sophisticated, Clean.
I've always felt that music is a plus, even in the face of the 'experts' who recommend no music. I took it down from my site because I couldn't find anything as subtle as what you have going.

The only negative is the loading meter that flashes up for a split second.

J It's wayyyy better than the last one. Very modern and stylish.... everything is minimal and clean. I like, if you don't mind me asking is it HTML of flash. I've been going back and forth about the benefits of each.

Reg-Dawg,

Some flash websites offer a search friendly HTML site.

Search Friendly HTML Sites function as an HTML content mirror behind your Flash website allowing you to input important meta info like page title, page description and keywords into each one of your website pages. With our SEO ready HTML sites, search engines can also index all the text of your flash site making it fully Search Engine Compliant. HTML content mirror sites come with every Elite design and can be purchased ala carte for any Classic design. The HTML Site does not mirror your flash website design, only the content. It instead offers a clean and simple design that efficiently displays your content.

Thanks Roy! We definitely believe this will bring in more business for us (at least that's our hope!), and at the very least draw the clients we want to draw. :-)

Sonny is right, Google has announced they will start crawling flash pages for content. AND, our site has an HTML double for SEO type stuff. Having flash pages require our viewers to at least have the newest version of flash, but frankly, if you don't have the newest version of flash, you probably aren't our client. Know what I mean? We aren't trying to draw the older, non-tech-saavy crowd. We're looking for the young, new tech, grew up on myspace/facebook/ipods, type people.

yep, that's what we have.

[Jake]

It's pretty much sucks.
The blog sucks.
The images sucks.

And if that wasn't enough, open it up on an iPhone and it starts to suck on a whole other level.
Seriously, check it out on an iPhone.




On second thought, it's not too bad I guess.
