Im trying to work on my own site now.
But yea, you really need a redesign. Bad. And the thing is its gonna take forever, thanks to bad planning on your part - but hey, it was your first site, you didnt know. Your first site is a lot more successful than my... first 13 or so.
Combined.
Yeah, I was so eager to launch that I didn't plan ahead. I'm not worried about updating each page individually though. I just figure I need four good page designs to use as templates and I'm good to go.
Right, which is their purpose or reason. Or maybe it's for games like Newgrounds or entertainment like Homestar runner. Just because your html sites handle ASP and HTMLX and whatever else doesn't mean they're real. Sites that rely heavily on flash aren't a mistake, and certainly are just as real as corporate sites heavy on programming languages (I realize you didn't mean to say it like you did, but it still seems that way. Showing off design (which isn't all Flash design is for) is no better a reason or purpose than a commercial website offering something.Quote:

When you ask a coder to redesign something you're just asking for a boring faceful of visuals. Shidoshi seems to be good with both, though.Quote:

I just hate when people label Flash as trash.
It all depends on who is using it. HTML and general website coding could be trash to if we take a visit to Geocities.
Flash was just used to make an Unreal Tournament clone. Although it was beta, it was amazing. It's offline right now until May when the real one launches. I'll post it then.
Flash is trash.
Macs can't run it for beans. :/
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Shockwave and Flash run fine on G4s and up and yes I work in web design on Macs.Quote:

And the site would end up having more features, its easier to change, and easier to add new content.Quote:

Yeah, Flash can run in a Mac environment fine. It's actually better on a Mac, I believe.
But, you can't install the PC version on a Mac and expect it to work.
You're right but my point didn't dispute this. You want to get somebody with an eye for details and layout to do the design of your site. Some programmers aren't bad, but most are.Quote:

Developing in Flash on PC is supposed to be a bit easier, but it's nothing of note and certainly nothing to put PC ahead of Mac.Quote:
