All I see is a blank white page with a VERY small enter button?

The layout of the main page is very nice however the flash page loads and runs very slowly... took almost one minute to load and cycle completely.

The graphics on the main page are all one gif and very large (49358) so it loads slowly. Try breaking those 3 pics into seperate images and reducing the file size so they will load quicker.

Heather - I liked your intro, but it seems to end a note too soon. Nice music though. Unfortunately a lot of people cannot see flash animations (behind a corporate firewall, or other reasons) so it's a good think to also have some text and a way for them to get in. I like the look of your site. I started to like the navigation but got lost with the back/next/up thing. (they always confuse me). You have a very nice start and the right idea. With a few things here and there you're on your way. Good luck.

You might want to make the height of your Flash movie a little shorter. I had to scroll to get to the "enter" part (at 800 x 600 resolution).

I agree with EWD on the navigation. Up/Next are pretty meaningless when you don't know what's up or what's next. I would put the same menu at the top of the page so viewers know exactly what their options are. Include a "Home" option on the top-of-the-page navigation as well.

You might also think about using a larger font. Even at 800 x 600 res. a lot of the text is difficult to read - I'm sure it's impossible at a higher resolution.

I do like your layout, colors, etc.
