please help me. I have made a new design to my website, but I am not a designer, and some people said it is very bad.
could you help me about things that I should change or not? (the site's language is Hungarian)

I can't really help you because I'm guessing the whole site is in flash, but either way it crashed my firefox. If a site crashes firefox, there's something wrong.

What music is that? It sounds like it's something from that "Tribes" game that came out like 7 years ago

Yea it does appear to be flash. Frankly I am getting tired of flash sites. Seems like just about everyone thinks it's kool and most of those think it is kool to put as much junk in there as they can. When I am surfing, the object is to hit as many pages of info as I can. When I hit a flash site, more often than not... I kill that page. Not going to sit around and wait for it to load. Also with music on the web pages... I have my mp3's, cd's and television. Don't need to someone else's web music kill my transfer and interfere with what I am listening to. Frankly did not spend much time at your site as I do not like to wait on pages. Period. Sorry but on top, what I did see did not appeal.
:huh:

It's alright; It was slow to get to the point for me and some of the fonts nad color choices seem 'off' for lack of better word.
I agree; Flash sites are more annoying to me (Not you Surf) than less flashier sites (no pun).
It's one thing have a an element or two but when it's a Flash Showcase; puke.
bluestar? That's ironic isn't it? If a site crashes firesfox there must be something wrong? Perhaps with firefox.
No issues here on IE

didn't even work for me.
I personally don't like flash sites (unless they are unique)... I like the simple, fast minimalist sites

Sorry man, but I'm also getting VERY tired of flash sites. Flash is great when used in moderation, but (and I'm getting tired of repeating myself - as I'm sure you are too) but flash sites suck when it comes to search engine placement. Web crawlers/bots can NOT crawl flash graphics, so therefore search engines will place you at the bottom of the list and NOBODY will find your site. You need to have actual content in order for search engines to crawl your site and gather keywords. What's the point of making a cool site if nobody will see it? Make an HTML version. Good luck.

too much flash is bad in my opinion. why not tone it down a bit- keep the flash menu, but use html or php for the rest. one of my sites was done that way- much more efficient- no one will want to wait for an intro like that either. i would yoink that out of there- too much stuff to load.
my advice- lose the flash, maybe use it just for a menu- i mean seriously, you want to showcase your work, not your website talent. look at disjecta's site, or rich lee's. They are basic, to the point, and easy to navigate around. when i go to their site i'm not like "WTF THIS IS A HORRIBLE SITE NO FLASH?!' i am impressed by the work they have posted.

you should take that as a compliment then. :D well done lol
I see. So too much Flash.
yes, everybody says that the new F8 crashes on Firefox.
no. it is not from the tribes.
although that sentence is true about no information and just the huge nothing on Flash sites.
I hate those sites too, so I tried to give some information about my programs and films.
but you think that the design is not bad, don't you?
