Cool that someone takes the time to ask also such questions. 1. Counters doesn't interest me in general. They're unneccessary and not really usefull because they can be started at the number the user wants. 2. I hate flash. Most of it where only gimmicks. 3. I also don't like what you suggested, frontpages which where plasterd with banners. 4. Poser Top25 doesn't interest me, because i will allways make my own meaning. What i like for 3D related sites: 1. A 3D related layout of th hole site 2. Flash used as naviagtion help, like on the site from Rob Wisenant. May check the link: http://www.rbtwhiz.com/ 3. A frontpage where in short time can be seen what's in the site All of this is just my opinion. About this theme there's a great book called "Web Navigation" written by Jennifer Fleming. Sh shows each aspect how a surfer can be hold on the site. In general it explains how to create a user-friendly content on the site. And good luck with building you new site. SHARKEY
