I like a number of things about this site.  I like how clean and uncluttered it appears, though there is a lot of information presented-one is not assaulted with it, however. I like how the examples of products created are across a section of the page with textual rollovers providing further information. I think providing more information via text before the user has to commit to clicking on the graphic and entering a more robust example is a good instructional design practice. When you click on any of the examples, I like the flash slide-show type application that the product is displayed in. I also like the prominent X option at the top right of the screen allowing you to close the application and have the previous screen visible again. This reduces navigational issues, because it doesn’t require the user to navigate back and forth across pages.  I would provide a “skip” option alongside the splash page-I don’t think users, on the whole, like flash splash screens that they are unable to opt out of, and while it’s brief, I think providing an option to skip it altogether would be a useful addition.
