There are a lot of banners. Seems like it is mostly banners. I would generate a bit more content for the users.
I like the concept. The graphics are awesome. The load time is horrendous (and I am on a high speed business connection – with only me as the traffic user)
Here is a breakdown of the load times per user (based on connection speed):
Download Times*
Connection Rate Download Time
14.4K 156.17 seconds
28.8K 78.18 seconds
33.6K 67.04 seconds
56K 40.31 seconds
ISDN 128K 12.48 seconds
T1 1.44Mbps 1.27 seconds
That is a little high. For example, to put it against my website (graphics still NOT optimized):
Connection Rate Download Time
14.4K 6.38 seconds
28.8K 3.19 seconds
33.6K 2.73 seconds
56K 1.64 seconds
ISDN 128K 0.50 seconds
T1 1.44Mbps 0.04 seconds
Still – The biggest issue…. There is very little content. A user will see this as a banner farm. First thing I was curious about when I looked at the site: If you have to login to the site, will the content be the same? If there is content there, but the user has to login to see it… then I would give them a ‘taste’ of what there is on the site after logging in.
Meaning: Give them SOME content on the main page that makes them WANT to sign up.
Hope that helps!
