Shitloads of great designs there. What does your website look like now? Link? [quote=djveo;370479]how hard is flash ?[/quote]feels his crotch Pretty soft at the moment ;)

Nah seriously, Flash has a quite steep learning curve, so it's hard in the beginning, but after some sweat it's pretty ok. Personally I hate Flash sites. You have to be a kick ass designer to design a site where Flash actually has some added value other than fancy effects. Usually it just fucks up the usability of a site. Some html/xml together with a whiff of css and php do the trick just fine imo. The only flash content I have on my own site is [URL="http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer"]SimpleViewer[/URL], a script to generate photo albums

However, some cool open source designs can be found at [URL="http://levitated.net/daily/index.html"]Levitated.net[/URL].

[B]The page cannot be found[/B]

The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Guess you don't have a hosting package at [URL="http://www.mjwebhosting.com/"]MJWebhosting[/URL] :p ;)

If it doesn't show up, change hosting company ;)

If you want to edit it while it looks like the end result, open it in a WYSIWYG editor (Frontpage, Dreamweaver, GoLive, ..., [URL="http://tucows.com/Windows/DevelopmentWebAuthoring/VisualWYSIWYGEditors/"]download[/URL] one if you don't have any).
