Hi Brad, You ask a great question -- maybe the best and only question: "Where's the fun?" I have only provided a working map at this point. If we look at a few of the best maybe we can answer the question together... 1. I need an exciting template/window frame/overlay that will allow the various elements to interact. Let's call this the CONSOLE. I think WB does the best job at this. http://kidswb.warnerbros.com/web/home/home.jsp Kids' WB! 2. You need a viable 3rd party advertising mechanism incorporated into the design. WB.com, Disney.com and Muppets.com all do a great job of cross-selling their own content. Again I think WB does the best job. 3. As far as more subtle "experience" effects go -- Muppets.com does a nice thing with their photo realistic approach -- notice the balloons escaping in the distance? http://muppets.go.com/main.html Muppets.com -- The New Official Home of the Muppets! I'd like to borrow a page from all of them and provide the real experiences that you would find walking down "Mainstreet": 1. Balloon vendors 2. Refreshments & snacks 3. Souvineers 4. Parades of characters 5. Characer "greeters" 6. Fireworks display All of the above would be part of the "background" effects bring the park to life. All of these things would occur within the main map background. BUT!!! In our last conversation you mnetioned a desire to incorporate as many features into the landing page as possible rather than plan on the deeper layers documented in my last post. Very well -- I will need to make a very involved CONSOLE. One that will function on all levels at once... Pls. see attached GENERIC SINGLE LEVEL consoles... images 1, 2, 3... Pls. compare to attached CUSTOM SINGLE LEVEL consoles... images 4, 5, 6... I will follow your lead and work toward the Generic, but as you can see the added punch in the Customs -- if I am able to get Russ to introduce specific brands, this is where the payoff will be for your clients. Best! Joe King "That Joe Guy" Making the world a funnier place... __________________________________ Yahoo! Music Unlimited Access over 1 million songs.
