Once again, a new design :) planning to keep this for at least a year. We are also planning to have many free templates available including some for phpWCMS.

Well ... It's absolutely not my cup of tea. The design has a very "techno/trance" kind of feel to it and I am allergic to techno, spacey trance stuff in general. :lol:

One thing that I'd criticise is the color theme as well as the individual design elements you've used. Those 3D objects are totally overused. It seems like everyone who uses Cinema 4D, 3D Studio Max or any other software falls into the trap of using the same basic 3D shapes over and over and it gets old and boring pretty soon. In my opinion a design loses a lot of uniqueness and lacks in creativity when resorting to obsolete and generic styles/shapes/objects.

I do see how much work you've put into it though. You've done a good job and those who are into that kind of design will definitely love it. :D

hi,

uih a lot of stuff and work is done here. respect for the energy.

what i have seen: on the start page where the first graphics are shown, after the preloader, you have the button "enter". place a transparent area above the characters. at the moment a user have to hit exactly the body of the characters to enter the site.

a preloader which showns you a story or some text while loading nearly 700 kb at first...
these are my suggestions to you :-)

regards

Great opening screen. My thoughts were... "well, that certainly gets your attention!" Sadly though, that's as far as I got. Enter button didn't work for me (using Firefox at the time, haven't tried it with anything else.) I have broadband so a little drama is a refreshing change. I think an option to skip the intro is a good idea for modem users.

hmmm ... :?

extrem lange Ladezeiten naja das Design so niederschmetternd es sich anhört ist ziemlich out (und erinnertdie extrem stark an 2advanced) Flash Animation am Anfang bzw. der Button ist nicht richtig gemacht (man muss direckt auf die Schrift klicken damit der Link sich öffnet) die Obere Navigation funktioniert nicht. Ansonnsten
bin ich mir sicher das du ein guter Graphiker bist ;-) Aber die Funktionalität ist leider nicht so gegeben.

Frohes schaffen :D

That would be cool... My experiences is that many ppl find it diffcult to start making a template with phpwcms, so if you could make some start templates for download it would be very nice and powerfull!!
