The video could do with cenetering though and the text over the bonnet of the ferrari is hard to read, but that said;
Great start Arthur In fact excellent! Two things the word "victom" is spelled "victim" and you might want to look at your site in an 800*600 browser window. It is a little squashed at this resolution.
Please could you tell us about how you put the video in? I have not seen that and would love to add it to my support site. The video is slow to load even on an ADSL connection so you might want to consider putting a link to it so it doesnt slow your index page.
Thanks for the comments guys.
Matthew, I agree with you. The video is also a bit deformed. It's also too small to make a good impact I think.
RodB, thanks for noting that. Will update that typo soon. The video is not really much special, just a simple <object> code which is to be inserted somewhere between your <body> </body> tag. Place it wherever you like you like it to appear.

It might be possible that it won't work for you, I am not sure. It's an 180mb movie, so there's no way you could host it on GDI's webspace. I've download the movie and uploaded it onto my other webhosting account, which has 20 gig webspace and 1 tb traffic bandwidth. My Webhost supports streaming media, and perhaps every site can put up a video in their page, I do not know this, neither am I not aware of GDI's specifications for its webhosting accounts, all I know is that you get 100mb webspace.
They probably are to be found somewhere on the GDI site but I haven't looked into that yet.
Thanks for the positive feedback, means people actually do like it
I am thinking about ditching the video, because it slows the user too much. It's just too much cpu loading and bandwith, just for that the visitor will click it away.
Guess I'll just have to start over hey
