XBOX 360 PORTABLE WEBSITE

Flash thing when you visit the site is kind of annoying. When I go to a site, I want to see the site, not a flash animation that tells me the same thing as the little blurp on the Google search page I just came from (how I'd usually find a site). I just dislike all intro pages period, wastes time in my opinion.
Spelling must be fixed, I'm ok with some mistakes, but theres enough there to bug me. If you're trying to run a business, theres way to many, unless you're selling Chinese knock-offs (those sites have no respect for the English language:P).
In your pictures sections, YOU ARE RAPING PEOPLE WITH SLOW INTERNET/COMPUTERS!!! You are having it load the full 3000x2000 picture and resize it down to 150x150 for the thumbnail, not the point of thumbnails. Instead, resize the pictures to 150x150 (or desired size) using an image editor, then have it show that picture as a thumbnail, with it linking to the big one. Your visitors and their ISPs will thank you, and you'll thank yourself for saving all that bandwidth.
In the order thing, get rid of the * by each price saying that labor is extra, since its on everything. Just have it say labor costs more at the bottom.

I was not convinced due to the mis-spellings on it.

Good Idea though.

For what it is, the 360 laptop is awfully expensive. Sorry.

Yeah seriously fix the spelling or take it down until you do. If anyone actually wants your products they will be turned off immediately by that site. They'll come to the conclusion that you can't even spell and they'll think it transfers over into your electronics work.

Ditch the flash, or at least have it state something once and then stop, kill the looping. Nix the intro completely, people want to see your site not some annoying intro movie.

Is that a hit counter on the bottom??? ............ugh.

The laptops you have made are quite impressive. Email me if you'd like the last 6 zillion Xbox 360 laptop requests forwarded to you - seriously.

But yeah, the spelling needs work. I am a horrific speller, but that's what spellcheck is for. Even in your flash there are some errors.

Keep up the good work!

HAY BEN CAN U MAKE ME A 360 LAPTOP FOR Â£5 PLZ

I'LL SEND YOU AN XBOX1 TO MAKE IT WITH LOL BUT MAKE IT SO IT PLAYS TREE60 GAMES

In all seriousness
-Remove The Flash Intro
-Remove the Hit Counter
-Fix Grammatical and Spelling Errors
-Drop the Solutions, most stuff with "Solutions" in it is usually a scam

This may seem like a flame, but your work is outstanding, but the images and site seems a bit... poor, couldn't find a better word sorry

EDIT: Replace poor with Unprofessional

The work is amazing, but the site and images aren't. Try and do some nice images, no WIP images, with a background, have a game running on the screen or something as well, or the dashboard, or a video.

Id say redo the "specs" section. Everyone knows what an Xbox 360 is, they came to your site to learn about the portable you are selling, not look at something thats obviously just been copied from some other website. Give them the "new" specs - keyboard, screen size, what kind of I/O you have provided on the back panel.

Hey, I'm somewhat of a webdesigner, and I'll be honest with you. That website is horrible. it's not structured, it's basically one of those sites you make with frontpage and then show all your friends.

When you're 13, and really into rap music and SpEllInG lyK dIz

But if you need any help, I can throw something together for you, even make an automated "laptop request interface", put some structure in there, and change the design.

Just drop me a PM
