We just finished re-designing v4.0 of our site:
www.mimoymima.com
We need some creative criticism from the design community, any feedback is greatly appreciated!
thanks - b r e n t -
we posted this just before easter, which wasn't a good idea, nobody has seen it apparently. Should I re-post, does anyone have any comments?

really nice and clean design. love its simplicity. nice navigation
the only downside (just personal taste nevertheless) is all the content sored into flash.
but then againg: great site -
thanks k3liutZu
The content isn't all stored in flash though, we also have the site available in HTML as alternate content for the flash which you can see by disabling javascript or going to the site without flash player installed. It's all accessible. Thanks for checking us out, I'd love to hear if anyone has any other critiques

I totally agree with k3liuZu. Nice and clean, readable and clear. Don't like the flash, but that's only personal taste. I've tried the non-flash version too. Why is there such a big difference in the look of the two versions? From my point of view, the content is structured very simple, so it shouldn't be a big deal to make the html version look exactly like the flash version, just without the animations. But then the question is: Is it worth the animations to use flash? Don't worry ;) great site!

Actually the alternate content is left over from an old version of the site, I still like the way it looks so I was considering keeping it looking that way, but I suppose I should make it look more like the flash version. Thanks for the advice dave_o

I too am not a big fan of flash, and beleive simplicity is best. Do the animations add any value?
Also, I am not sure so much about the music on the homepage. Again, simplicity for me, but that is personal taste.
Otherwise, love the colors and easy to navigate. Very friendly and welcoming is what I first thought when visiting your site. -

Thanks for the comments impressLab. Personally I do think the flash adds a lot, we use it to present the content in a much more interesting way than we could with HTML. We do offer the same content in HTML as well, of course. On the home page the animation's function is just to show that we do flash animation I suppose, our flash experience is one of the main reason people hire us, so we need to show it off. We try to never be superfluous with it, the closest we come to an animation that isn't too useful is the home page, if you go to the about page you'll see how that content is much much more interesting to read and interact with than the HTML version. (just one example)
