That's a very classy look. Just the header tells me I can't afford whatever lurks below the royal looking crest. You hit the feel of the product dead (oops) on.
I understand why he's there, but the terribly posed photo of Bill spoils it, nothing is perfect. Best part for me? The little orange glows, especially the one in the middle of the page. A seriously good looking site overall.
It certainly looks fitting to the business.
I just typed in "the eternal legacy" to google and was swamped by references to Nirvana. I guess rock trumps mausoleums!
On my desktop view, the text hyphenation of the client section needs attention - important words are being hyphenated when there's no need for it.
Congratulations on getting it past the client. I have a demanding client that wants more work done. I was feeling positive but when I see the list of changes it reminds me of the pain of the last project.
Chris... Not many CAN afford this product. Can easily be MILLION$. And I was wondering who would be the first make the a 'dead' joke... LOL
And that pic on the bottom... well I guess you're just not familiar with the standard 'Funeral Director' pose... LOL

Paul... There won't be any SEO on this baby... it's just a brochure for them (a very private & exclusive type of thing). They don't want, nor need to 'found' on Google.
And thanks for the hyphenation catch. !
And as far as "feeling positive" when doing a job for a client, I got over that a long time ago because I KNOW, as sure as I'm breathing what's coming... it's never 'if'...
it's definitely 'when'... doesn't matter if it's a job like this, or a simple 'small' nothing type of job... they are going to eat your heart & pick on your bones until you're
miserable... (now THAT'S motivation for people who want to make a few bucks doing websites?)
Well done. Love the elegant type with the swashes.
Nice website.
At first I had some difficulty navigating it because I didn't notice the 'To the top' button. I believe it could stand out a bit more.
'Robert Deniro' should be 'Robert De Niro'.

Well, I imagine that some of the folks visiting the site are not the youngest anymore and might just need some clear hints. ;)

They not only wanted that... but they wanted a back and forward arrow (to each section also) so a viewer did not have to 'always' go all the way back to the top...
When I heard that I thought damm... 'Boy had mentioned something about the navigating was not optimal' :-O... which I initially disagreed with... (thought you were being picky) LOL
And of course... a few more tweaks were asked for... LOL (it seems it never ends)
Anyway... thought you'd like to hear this...;) so here is your... "I believe it could stand out a bit more" — http://www.theeternallegacy.com/

OH!.... and to all newbies and semi-newbies... (like me) that's why the importance of a forum like this... especially the 'TALKGRAPHICS' forum!
Monumental Cliff! Sorry it just had to be said.
Excellent site.
I appreciate the feedback, Cliff. Yes, with all these arrows you go all over the place. Now folks will get dizzy. ;)) Perhaps a stationary menu bar might give a more serene navigating experience.Quote:

Nothing wrong, just curious. Why the initial landing page, why not straight to the site?
Chris - pauland - boy...
Yes... I strongly debated with myself regard a stationary menu bar... but now that THEY'RE HAPPY... (today)... the best option I'm running with is pauland's "leave it alone" LOL
don't wanna upset the apple cart... if I have any control over it...
To Chris' question regarding "why the initial landing page" Interesting question... and a very complicated answer...
I have absolutely no idea why I did that...:rolleyes: I must have been bored and started experimenting/playing on their site...
I sorta liked it and have no rhyme or reason for it... maybe in my mind I thought it looked classy or modern, or something...
how's that for professionalism...? LOL
Thanks all!
Hey Egg... I knew you would "have to say it" LOL
BTW... You have no idea how many times you're short vid tuts have helped me...
i.e. your latest to Steven Cox...
Keep em' comin'
Can't thank you enough!
Cliff
Thanks for your kind comments Cliff :)
Modern or old hat? What goes around, comes around ...Quote:

Landing pages were very common in the days of Flash, giving the remainder of the .swf file to load in the days of far slower internet connections. I still think landing pages are a great way to open a website.
Yes Egg.... that's EXACTLY how I was thinking... "flash", "landing page", yes, that's what I meant to say... LOLQuote:
