Car Audio Central - Ultimate Car Audio Forum and Community

well lets face it my website sucks so i have been thinking of fixing it up. right now i took down the home page so its just a black page. but i need some help first of all i would love to have some moving crap on there and like a flash first page that i can split for home audio and car audio. i downloaded motion artist and flash 5.0. the motionartist look like a good program but that flash just makes me look stupid. i only have the demo for the motion but the flash i have the complete thing (thanks to kazaa) so i need some help with this crap. my website would of been pretty decent in 1995 but not today.

What type of Flash opening are you looking for?

One thing to remember is, that most people hate Flash intros that they have to download.

Another thing to think about is, flash intro pages are a lot of times skipped over by search engines. Because the spiders don't see any text on the page, they don't index it into thier database.

Let me know what type of site you're looking for, maybe I can help some.

i just want some kinda of cool opening thats not very long but looks better than a page with 2 buttons. all i want it to do is look pretty cool and have a link to my home audio part and car audio part and maybe some sounds.

I tell ya, I'd create a kick ass interactive page. Let's say two or three photo sections blurring into each other at a focal point of sorts. When you scroll over certain areas, they pop up menus or something to help guide people to the different areas of your site. I hate flash stuff. I go to web pages for information, not to be entertained.

And, what Chris is saying about the spiders, I think that's where you put some collection of text associated to your site at the bottom of the page. That way when the spider thing zooms past your site, the words at the bottom cause your site to be picked up.

I.E. amp, speaker, speakers, wire, audio, sonic, etc.

I don't know that much about it. Just throwing out ideas.

I've noticed such things on other websites I've come across while surfing the web. lol.

ya that would work i just dont want something like the basic crap some 5yr old kid can do. i was thinking about doing that with the text at the bottom black ink on a black page they would never know what hit them

Exactly. Good thinking.
