Shockwave Flash player comes with every Operating System, windows, linux, MAC... shockwave flash is on every computer... it is universal. Another problem that you could run into using Windows Media player is that not everyone uses Windows Media player as their default player, inwhich, if you are running ***** Quick Time as Default the video may look different in size and such... Flash.swf is the solution... though it is one's preference...

soooo because of all that, I have installed the flashmovie on the index page. Thank you for the tip & software.

O' yeah that looks sweet :)

One other thing I noticed; your links have no caps.. they're all in lower case... its not a problem with me, but some users on the internet are really **** about spelling, punctuation, grammar, caps, ect...

Sadain,
The video runs automatically, how can a user mute it?

As with most Flash, it is optional for the webmaster to regulate whether Flash controls are available.. this is done in BV in the Flash Properties... the way she has set up this one is with controls... click on the Flash Movie to activate control (ridding the safety grey-box) and then right click on the Flash Movie for control access... PLAY is checked, uncheck play to render the Flash stopped.

Ofcourse you wont find these controls with every flash you find on the internet, like mine for instance, I have controls disable through BV Flash Object Properties.

More incite on the Dental Site:

Indeed it is a very nice site. You have the Flash Movie playing once, probably not a good Idea to loop it, because it would become annoying to someone who just watched the Feature and then goes on to look through the page. The text is a large font... in your case your clients are probably going to be older and sometimes with age comes reading glasses, so large Font was an excellent choice.

I do see something and It may just be my opinion... but personally I hate Drills, it the worste part of seeing the Denist for me... its horrorfying lol from an advertising aspect... I personally might 86 the patient being drilled in the header pic and replace it with maybe the Denist smiling with a happy patient also smiling in a denist chair lol

Re: Do you like this site? Would you do business with us?

The headline picture gave me headache from the start. My dilemma was : do I go with all smiles, just like all the competition (which is a visual lie of course) or should I create a more realistic atmosphere, to be different from the others?

I'm still unsure, whether it was a good decision or not. Naturally, I do not want to frighten off people.

I would really appreciate opinions. Shall I change the picture or not? This is vital, so please help me with your input.

Must admit my dentist is fine, but I still associate dentist with a bit of pain. (Maybe that’s just my wallet hurting) So it’s not always a good idea to get to real with the images.
Before and after images are not a bad idea. May also be nice to have some images of some younger people as well as older ones.
Could also be worth looking at family packages. If a parent can get good treatment for their children & themselves at the same time, plus a holiday all for the same price?
I would defiantly consider it.

Big drill dropped . Hopefully it will be less frightening and at the same time rather professional looking.

Catherine,
I almost wish I lived in europe so I could take advantage.
Your site is great. It's very inviting for a dentist site, very profesional.
I am very impressed.

Re: Do you like this site? Would you do business with us?

Hi SAman,
Thank you very much for your support. Competition is fierce (just like everywhere), so I am trying.... It is not enough to know, that we got the best dentists, we have to let the customers believe that as well.

(Btw we are aiming for the States also. Some people already saved a small fortune with us.)

Have a nice day!

Hi Catherine

A couple of comments for you.

Firstly i have to agree with Bill you need to centre your pages, when I centered the home page manually, i can see the video and read the info otherwise you are scrowling from side to side, which is my pet hate. You stated in an earlier post you only have so many seconds to attract potential customers and keep them from moving on.


I agree with you the white background is the best choice, i dont believe loud or vibrant colours would enhance your site.

And lastly yes the site would attract me to your dental service.

best of luck with it

Dear Mirelle,

Thank you for your review. The page width is 900. (you are using 1280X800 screen res. and that's why you have to scroll) I think the trend is, that people are buying bigger monitors. Judging from my statictical software, most people (between 80-90%) using bigger resolution. I had to go wider, simply because I would not fit into 800 width with my design. Also I am aiming look good on bigger monitors. For the obvious reasons...
Centering would not change anything. It is the width, which makes you to scroll.

Have a wonderful day.

Re: Do you like this site? Would you do business with us?

Mirelle,
Actually your resolution is big enough to see the page without side scrolling. Your monitor is set up properly? Maybe you should check.
Normally, you would have to scroll only if your resolution is 800X600 or something like that.
