Hello everyone well i have released version 2 and overall people do like it :D so please let me know what you think of it. The only page that doesnt include flash is summer and eventually illl make a banner for that :D.
as for the sounds of the banners i took the rain and thunder of the song riders on the storm - The doors and i found a huge bird mp3 and took some bird noises off of that :D, (i used cool edit pro)
Enjoy! ;)
I really like that sfx idea, love the spring one! However I think you should include a visible 'turn off music' button. Also would be a lot better if the winter soundtrack was seamless, (unnoticeable looping).
Well the reason why is shows its looping is becuase of the frames being reseted in flash, ill see if i can improve the rain and all that :D.
haha, yea I know that!! But what I mean is. Forgetting the flash for a second, sort the soundtrack out, blend the beginning /end in to each other, just like you would to a seamless bg tile image.
ok well i did some editing to the sound try listening now and see if its good :D
I agree about the visible switch off music button. Not everyone likes bg music! I like it, some great tricks in there. One suggestion.. the contrast in colour for the BG is rather high. When you're scrolling on high resolution screens it creates a screen flickering illusion. Either lower the contrast in bg colours or make the BG properties FIXED so that it remains in its place and only the content scrolls upwards.
umm ok well what background are u refrerring to.? the banner? or the bg of the site ? and im not really sure what your saying :( whats flickering?
The background image of your site, the 45 degree diagonal lines behind your site's interface and content. When the site is scrolled (the screen shifts down or up) the high contrast doesnt look so good on the eye. Two solutions to fix this - look at the way I done it on Biomutation by using flat horizontal lines instead of diagonal. Or lower the contrast and set the background image property to be FIXED so that when you scroll up/down the background remain on the page without moving:
HTML:
bgproperties="fixed">
CSS:
body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
color:#000;
background-image: url(image.gif);
background-attachment: fixed;
}
Hope the above helps!
ok hows that?
ah yes, much better. I agreed about it and was going to comment this morning, but ran out of time before I had to go.
Remember, it doesnt matter how amazing your site is.. its the little things that count ;)
hmm what do u mean? Are you talking about the content being organized or some other things?
Also can u check in fire fox if the site gets screwed?
This is a bit late, but the site's fine in firefox. Works perfectly :).
