Hey guys,
My MOONLiTE Productions website is finally complete! It took us a long 7 months to complete it (due to laziness) but we're finally done!

Please take a visit!
http://www.moonlitefilms.com

A lot of the movies are not uploaded yet though...

Pretty nice style.

As a web designer I have a few quibbles though:

All over the site you've scaled down large images in the browser, rather than re-saving the file, which is a no-no. It takes longer then necessary to DL (which is noticeable even on high-speed internet) and browsers are no good at down sampling, which results in ugly jaggies. It's worst on the gallery page, which takes ages to load even on my 3mb connection, and lags like crazy when scrolling. You need to make thumbnails! Big Grin

Secondly, it always bugs me when a background doesn't scroll with the page. This isn't a web design rule per say, but it distracts me. Anyway, feel free to ignore this one.

Titaniumdoughnut,

Yeah, I also realized the jaggedness and ugliness of the pictures and hte long download times when they are not scaled down yet. You are right, the gallery page is horrible for that so I am going to make the thumbnails right now.

Also, does anyone else find the static background distracting? I always liked that part of the site, but if it really is distracting I will change that up also! Thanks for that advice titanium!

Yeah, just looking at the gallery again, it is pretty bad...

Hey, cool Smile

It totally could be just me about the static background. As I said, there's no "rule" on that, like there is for so many aspects of web design. It's up to you. I'm a stickler (ok, some have called me a note-pad nazi) for clean code, and accessibility, and all sorts of other things like that, so it happens to bug me slightly. It's not a big deal at all, don't worry about it. Smile

Hey,
We just uploaded two films of ours, one really old titled The Red Diary and the other one is the most recent film titled The Time In-Between. I also resized the picture with the itnerviewo n the main page and the picture in the history section. Thanks for the advice titanium!
