Interesting. Here's my feedback.

GOOD: The website is very stylish, edgy and urban. The images are very nice. It's almost avant garde artsy in a "made by a hip college computer student with a new software package" way.

SURPRISING: Far more edgy than most businesses would ever dare (I kept thinking is this really a business or a SEG group or just a school project?)

TO IMPROVE: As mentioned by Jonathan (Macgeek) it is quite small in many ways (images, font, frame etc) and thus might look much better on older monitors with fewer pixels than new ones. Over a 56K modem it takes about 5 minutes to load with the graphic "LOADIN SITE" showing the user the slow progress (amusing that it has the hip mis-spelling).

Thanks for letting me see it. It was fun to check out.

5 minutes to load the site?

"made by a hip college computer student with a new software package"

What were they thinking? They must have had a package of somthing else and smoked a bit too much...
Getting a bit too creative, I just don't have the time or connection to check it out.

Nice site, but broadband is the only way to load and view it (6 seconds in Comcast-land). Excellent design for those with big data pipes, and very fast serving from the Yahoo servers.

The initial blast of music is a bit disconcerting, but the "music off" button is handy enough. Maybe the initial music setting should be off?

Hmmm thanks for the input... I will make a non flash site as well.

Flashy site! But a more effective message should be VISUAL, as the Segway certainly is. Too many words, especially very small ones loses any visual excitement you are trying to convey. The site should make us excited!!! But hey, it's better than 90% of the other LLC dealer's 'boring web sites'...

The web is a powerful marketing tool. Make it work for your customer, don't make them work for it...
