Only a quick look very nice layout thumbnails etc. Just check your spelling of Michelin as in Michelin award as far as I know it is only one l.
Sadly, I didn't see any thumbnails, even after entering the site - just one largish graphic. :-(
click on projects button PaulQuote:

ok added some code in the head tag (must say thanks to Egg bramell for that as it was a google search for a work around that brought me to this site and his solution) Thanks fella
Must be firefox.
Hi Manny - yes that did the trick.
Here's my constructive criticism..
First of all, it's an excellent site and one of the best of it's kind I've seen -elegant, functional and fitting to the subject. Top class.
The opening page (beyond the loader) shows a 3D render and I'm really surprised that it was chosen as the first view for the site. I would have used a photograph. The reason I say that is that in comparison with many other architectural renderings I've seen, the ones on the site aren't of the best quality and I don't think this opening 3D render is doing the clearly excellent architectural work justice.
The site has my favourite hate and no-no : "Under Construction". All web sites are evolving and "under construction", so why, oh why put in a more section if there is no more to show? When you have more just add it in!
A tiny niggle is where once a project is chosen - for example "Camberwell Development 001", I see the thumbnails and the project title above; I just want to click on that project title to give me back the list of projects to choose from. I think the reason is that the white bars top and bottom are making me think of the Flash Concertina component. It's just a little thing that gets me every time.
Lets be honest - my niggles are tiny things and this is a superb site. Well done. I'm sure that your clients will be delighted.

Well done on the flash site
I have see some flash sites before, some gimmicky ones and some good ones. But I can say that i am impressed with the site, Professional and Clear. :cool:
Nice touch with the square box that follows the mouse :D
Nice pictures and nice layout, but too small font sizes.
I'm working with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 px and it's hard to read the text.
Regards,
Remi
Great thanks for the positive feedback people.
havent a clue how to quote on this site so i'll do it the old fashioned way:)

1:"The site has my favourite hate and no-no : "Under Construction". All web sites are evolving and "under construction", so why, oh why put in a more section if there is no more to show? When you have more just add it in!"
I totally agree with you now it's been brought to my attention, i'll remove that tomorrow, thanks for that, Also agree with the 3d rendering, i think i'll change that with one from the Balham Res, lovely rendering on the 1st 3 pictures on that one. Finally looking at it now i will also add the idea you said about getting back to the project list buy clicking on the project name once that project is open.
Thanks Whizz Kidd for you positive remarks:D
Remi, thanks also for you constructive coments, i'm sure ive seen a flash site where there was a button that the user can change the font size, i must look into that and work on a solution, nice one
parahandy Thanks for pointing out the typo error.
it's nice to get some feedback from people other than my family and friends and bods in the know.
Cheers guys
Manny
That is an excellent design, art and skill show you demonstrated. The letter are too small to read and the text should not be so wide. It will be easier to read this way.
Thumbs up!
Manny,
Excellent site.
Two Points...
1: I hate preloader screens. I'm on a 2Mb connection but as soon as I see a loading 10%, 20%, 30% etc I go cold. Just give your visitor something else to watch whilst the page loads, Finaly on this point, when the page is loaded, launch the site. In other words do away with the ENTER button.
2: I'm with Remi here..... Why oh why do all Flash sites use these infinitesimal fonts ?
Do a search on Eolas
87% still has IE as basic browser and flash will show the dotted box(eolas)
with the tooltip click to activate
see also this thread for more information about the problem
I have managed to solve the problem (the link that remi has provided), and flash can be of a true value if used properly.Quote:
