the lag made me lose patience.

newber · 07-03-2007, 02:47

judging from your home.cogeco.ca/~mikeporetti/Home.htm I think I'll wait for a second opinon

Lag is Lag bro.

google ads on your product homepage.

bad

and I'm on a mac. What kind of windows streaming are you offering me?

I guess this is a site for people who know what they want. Aside from windows media serving being a dying industry and flash being the emerging winner takes all (theres little technical difference between serving FLV and WMV, but great demand disparity), you site is technically lacking.

Some pointers:

use of   is generally frowned upon. Excessive use just reeks of ill planning.
google ads on your product site is perverted.
Use of images as menu items will see your SEO drop.
Div is no substitute for H1 and P tags. Using them will see your SEO rise.
you specify CSS for your fonts AND html font tags. Why?

As for Lag, well Windows media only works on... wait for it... windows!

All true! And I know I'm no site designer, I run Windows Media servers. However, Windows does have 95% of the market, and I don't belive (not sure) you can live stream flash. WMS is far a dying industry. Bandwidths are just starting to reach Television and Radio's needs.

Thanks for crashing my browser.

For that fact alone I'll rate it 3/10.

Google ads make it look like a cheap-end red light district whore.

you may have a point there.

I know director can, so I guess flash can encode to FLV and stream, but the right server package is needed. I guess I was referring to video on the web in general, my bad.

I hate it when people post on here and can't take the crit. - they hen try and reverse it. An opinion is an opinion, you asked for it so take it on the chin or don't post at all. Because being honest you made yourself look like an a$$ by doing what you did so enough already dude - word from the wise.

Right as I was about to type.... no I do not like it. Not up my street at all. The design is poor (and I hate to give negative crit.) and your use of coding isn't that great either.

However your attempt to code using DIV/CSS is obviously the best direction to go in so keep going and look at sites such as www.cssbeauty.com for inspiration on the design and coding front.

I look forward to your re-submission if you choose to do so.
