What is this site for? What is it supposed to tell me? It has flash and a bunch of javascript, use HTML and CSS instead. There is actually nothing on your site that would require JS, much less flash. And please, make it responsive. Right now you get dark blue, light blue, then white going outward on a large/zoomed screen - ugly. | |

| Feb 6, 2014 at 15:46 | comment | added | JonW♦ | I don't think the problem is totally about whether that carousel thing is flash or html5 (although there is absolutely no good reason for it to be flash at all) it's that it exists in the first place. The homepage of the site has just a massive bit of nothing and no content. No wonder the users can't figure out where to go; there nothing there. People want content, not a big advert for the site they're already currently looking at. It's pointless and a massive waste of screen space. | |

| Feb 6, 2014 at 12:52 | comment | added | JonW♦ | What is your actual question? We can't just give you a review of your site, but if there is something specific you want advice about (more specific than 'I would like some thoughts on the page') then we can probably answer that. However if your question is actually "Should I have a big inaccessible Flash banner on the homepage with no useful content in it or should I have some useful navigation instead" then I think I know the correct answer there. | |
