John,
The whole idea of building a splash/intro page is to serve as a splash =
or intro to the site, a 'preloader' however is built to occupy the user =
while the site loads however you will find some people choose to use a =
preloader as a site intro or build an intro as a preloader ;-)

Giles,
Good overall effort on the site, I agree with Tracey about the screen =
being taken over, this effect has been used by many people as they has =
found out how to do it and it is not very well accepted - most people =
will close the screen straight away without reading any content - I =
usually do as I have many other windows working at the same time.=20

You designed the Flash element of your site using Swish, nice little =
tool (although I hate it - lol) although most people use the same in =
built effects and this means that their intros always look like other =
sites.

Keep up the good work,

Rog.

html/flash site!?? So why do i have a loading bar on the next screen?=20
