Hey Everyone,

So my first big website that I designed for my new employer just went live. I work in LA for an Ad agency and designed this for a client called revitaPOP.


Please check it out and give me feedback, good or bad. Look around and enjoy.

Cheers,

Blake

Coming from a fellow designer, flash sites are gimmicky and annoying. Other than that, good job.

I would say that the entrance is a bit cheesy, but as far as the actual web page goes, good job!

Thanks guys. I agree but I had little say on most of this except the design. All I want out of this is some one-on-one time with Jenny McCarthy.

Haha I know it's a war zone sometimes. But there are also a lot of smart people on here that know much more than me.

as stated flash sites get very annoying, plus they cant be loaded on many devices(phones/ipad) i think that a more calm, less processor intensive site with html5 when needed over flash would have been a better choice

Yea they are pretty dope, they send them to my company all the time. They work best for people who don't have the proper levels of B12 which is why their biggest markets right now are vegetarians and the autistic community. However, B12 does work for almost everyone, which is why most people inject the vitamin, this is just a new way to ingest it. They just won Best New Vegetarian Product at Expo West which is a pretty big achievement. They are trying to branch out into larger markets now like the active community and college kids.

Flash took too long to load ( over 5 seconds ), so I never even bothered getting passed the splash/loading page. That is going to be a HUGE turn-off for people surfing the web. If you can't catch the viewers attention in less than 2 seconds, you're fucked. Drop the Flash all together or figure out a way for it to load faster. Can you not have the Preloader start when the Splash page animation starts? Its fucking ridiculous that Im forced to watch the animation then wait for the page to load.

Okay, so I waited for it to load (took 10 seconds, WAAAYYY too long) and did some navigating. The Red Stroked copy you use for the Lolliwood and Become a Rep pages is awful. The stroke closes out the counter on the a's and e's and the tracking is way too tight. Also the Outerglow you put on the Header in the Shop look cheesy. IMHO Flash sites suck, that was probably not up to you though.

I really dislike the flash aspect of the website but I don't think you had any control over that.

Overall it is really nice looking flash website. But it take a little long to load and is a bit laggy at times.

First of all thanks for all the input everyone.

Second of all, I guess a lot of you went to the sight so they wanted me to offer you all a 15% discount.

They are pretty expensive and I don't know if any of you actually want them but I'll pass along the promo code anyway. Enjoy, or not, thanks again.
