Hi again everyone,

Just a quick note... our site is finished. All that is left on the site is doing the shopping cart in the store, but I'm thinking I will go with the Pay Pal buttons on that one as the carts are way too hard to get working right... just so you know, we will offer game design services as well as Haunted attraction stuff for haunted houses around the country and the world. I've been a HUGE haunted house fan for years and I'm working to get my Ambient packs into haunt attractions as well for scene and haunt impact placement.

And to go ahead while I'm here and answer some questions that I have already received about doing the haunt thing with game stuff...

I answer why not? A few people emailed me about why am I combining the two when I should be in focus on game design since it is only a game site? It's not only a game site, it's an everything site. I have a long way yet to go to make it the site I began many moons ago. It's not even close to how I truly want it... online gaming like game tap, a online arcade, hang out cyber like cafe and game content and design plus the haunt stuff... I'm far far from finished with it. Still have that mountain or two left to go... with no end in sight right now.

Let me know what you think... there is one small bug that I'm trying to knock out in the HTM files, so just overlook that right now if you can. I know if that prob. Thanks for taking the time to check this out and I hope you enjoy the new look of the site... just in time for May 1st's launch!

Looks great, though the header image looks more like a lightrainbow than a lightstorm ;)

@ Bryce: NP, yeah I figured it was too much in your face feel to it so I took it and put my truck on there instead. Glad you like the site, I hope to grow it more in the coming weeks and months with new content.

@ Tom: Thanks Tom! Yeah, I wanted to keep with the lightstorm feel but I thought that new logo would throw it off a bit lol... Maybe we should rename to Digital Lightrainbow, that might work! lol :-)

@ Tuomas: Thanks!

Yeah this was a template I used to get us up and running faster. I'm sure the new look will fade over time when we get another better design setup going. I'm always working on new HTML stuff for something fresh and new and not to be an eye sore. Thanks to all you guys for the great feedback.

I have to agree with most of the above. Your site looks stylish. The font size in the right side box kinda grabs your attention away from the main window, so you may want to trim it down a bit. Looks great tho. :-)
