hello, everyone, this is my 1st website, design & develope by my sister and her friend GG, commend needed to make it more better, visit the link below:

www.zhapalang.com.my - The leading online autopart store in malaysia, selling various type of autopart, includes car accessories, automotive lighting, braking system, cooling system, engine components, and ...etc

thats a clever name for a site! Easily remembered once seen.
Nice sites too, cool flash.
just that the 'buy page' a bit different from the front home page layout.

overall , very good!

i think it great (flash part and music) ...

but too dark. i think brighter will be better ...

and can try some color like NFS uderground one ... and motion color blur ...

and the button for changing sound should be bigger ...

and contact us part should be add a more printable version (more practical)

just my opinion ... no offence ...

when the rest of the world has practically abandon full flash site, malaysian are still a sucker for flash site.

hei hie!!!

the second sound's song call wat name????!!

here my comment goes:-

1. if for competition, yes ur web design really awesome... but if for buyer and customer try to make it simple and attractive cos mostly customer will only look for your product instead of those flashy style web u have.

2. ur web take to much time to load ..how about if ppl still using 56k modem..it will take them 15 min to load ur page -.- .....i dun think background music is necessary....

3. the background colour and the button colour maybe can make ppl blur or confuse...for younger ppl they can notice there is a button to click but how bout those 40 above ( buying for thier son)... further more ur clickable word don't look like button..


overall very good homepage u have...i give 100/100 if u go for competition but for consumer purpose i give u around 70-80/100...nice job

In My Humble Opinion

complaints
1. loading time so long.. and same goes to other page also.. i'm using streamyx but why take so long ah ?
2. pls optizmize the song.. you can maintain it at 56kbps.. 128 is a pain in the ass afterall u embed it in your falsh making the loading time more longer.
3. i'm not from a management/business faculty but zhapalang? sounds like chapalang. if ppl know that la...
4. overall flash website are targeted for broadband consumers.. but still pls bear in mind of the human problems that don hv the patience.so pls maintain the longest time is 20 seconds.. unless ur brand are super well known enough than audience will wait for it.
5. i see more text than graphic.. i tot that's been superb graphic or animation wise somewhat.

overall there's a lot more to do.. if u want to accept or not.. it's ur decision. cheers

teriyaki boyz - tokyo drift

well nice .. layout btw .. but.. still got kelemahan .. for me .
why templete full gray?

i really like it! its a great intro site to the more functional & cleaner e-shopping section. well, some ppl might be turned-off by the darkish interface...

better add a button to disable the song...
As I was enjoying my mp3...
Suddenly Teriyaki Boyz came in play... =.=

actually it can, just press the equalizer bar then it will automatically stop

how would a user actually notice that...

Looks great overall, I like the greyish style, it has meaning! I also disagree on would be too dumb to notice the buttons, if they've been surfing net then there is no reason they will get confused. However, what you should really take into consideration is, as it has been mentioned by many people, it is the loading time, for your business to run well, you should target all audiences instead of only those who has broadbands connections.

I have no problem with the design if you could reduce the loading time, it looks great and attractive enough. Too fancy? What the heck is a graphic designer's job if the world only care about minimalism and simple? Keep up the great work.

1. Flash isn't search engine friendly unless you use non-antialias text and apply the SEO Kit from Macromedia.
2. If you're not going to take advantage of Flash, don't use it.
3. Your background images have an effect on readbility of text especially if there's gray as well.
4. The scrolling in Shipping Policy is difficult to read while scrolling unlike a normal scrollbar on a browser.
5. Use a clearer and simpler font for the contact details because 2s look like Zs and 4s look like As. You get the idea.
6. Did you know that artiste can sue you for using their song? Especially if it's on a commercial website instead of a personal one.

I strongly agree with the comment ergo_etc left behind.

So my advice is that create a simpler website. If you want to use Flash, use it for good and not for pure utter distraction or worthlessness.

1. Loading time damn long.. (even b4 entering the first page)
2. Agree with the contact details from etsuko.. the font got problem.. use simpler font as your visitor will find it easier to read.
3. Altho the teriyaki boyz song is nice.. but the looping is irritating.. =.='' and copyright too..
4. grey word on the background make my eyes pain when reading.
5. if not mentioned by etsuko.. i really dunno at the shopping policy page.. there is a scroll bar..

Overall.. i feel like i m in a gaming site rather than commercial site.. altho the flash skill is cool.. but i m sorry to say tat i dunno how to appreciate it in a commercial site..

in my opinion.. keep it simple and professional..

"Too fancy? What the heck is a graphic designer's job if the world only care about minimalism and simple? Keep up the great work." quoted from Kellicros.
- graphic designers are not responsible for making things complicated. you must know what kind of product / services you offered and your target market..

sorry if i offended anyone.. good luck

we need more of these quotes around here.

The flash animations (scroll, fade, panning.. etc) in this site seems very jerky; i.e. not smooth. Other than that's it's fine. One man's beauty is another man's pork-chop.

I'm no fan of flash websites, unless they are flawlessly designed and well thought off.

10s for ur guys for posting ur comments, i will mark it down
anything else that i need to improve?

any suggestion??
bump!!
