I`m on FireFox 2.x, and it`s VERY different from Internet Explorer! In FF, your video is way down at the bottom of a major-huge yellow and blue colored area. I had to scroll to find the video, and was suspicious.

So I opened the same site in IE, and the yellow-blue is WAY smaller, and the video is easily seen without scrolling.

I believe you`re going to have to do some compatibility tests right away. But I like what I saw so far. :-) A lot better than the old site.

Weird .... in Firefox, I get huge orange and blue blocks on the left, the sun and wagon image on the right, and the video below. IE7 looks better, but the video never shows up. I`d guess your css and js need to be refined.

Ok great..I suppose I need to work on compatibility. Still learning Dreamweaver and its testing features. Thanks

Either you fixed the problem or my fellow curmudgeons need to upgrade their Firefox because your site came up on Firefox 3 just fine.  Yes, the video was frequently interrupted for buffering.  Try making it a smaller size (640X480, for example).

I take it that you aren`t in production yet?  If you are shopping for partners you should include more technical details.  And photos without "PROTOTYPE" plastered all over the product, obscuring it altogether.

I would want to know, for example, what is the drive?  Hydraulic, geared motor, direct drive?  Is there a "reverse" so that you could ramp it fully loaded into a minivan?  What is the top speed and GVW?  How long at Gross Weight will it run before needing a recharge?

Don`t answer here, but contact me directly because I can think of another market for your product.

The test page now, having just clicked it again 2/10, is totally different than what was showing at the start of this topic. It`s a whole lot more reasonable now, and actually makes sense.

I meant to ask, what do we all think about the Chat feature? This one is just a one on one with the administrator, I also could do a public "room" where fellow interested people could chat? Just an idea....

I know we are talking about website design in this post but I have to add my input here. I love your product! There is someone down here in South Florida that has made something very similar but I do not know if he is marketing it or not. Definitely not on a large scale. I run into him at car shows every now and then.
 I know of a great place to market your product but I don`t think you will make it this year. The Daytona Beach Bike Fest! This event brings over 100,000  visitors to Daytona Beach each year.
This crowd typically spends money and loves innovative ideas. This year might be different with the economy suffering but I would definitely consider this event next year. I am trying my hardest to get there this year with my waterless car wash but we will see!
I give you a thumbs up! Great product!
