And don't you want your site to work on the Apple iContractorPhone?

If url's and page titles don't match the structure, your site is far from Google friendly. Flash navigation usually gives Google that "one page index.swf headache".

I found some from random sites but they look so.....generic. I am looking for something better with sound or whatever. can probably make my own if I had a guide or something.

I am lost........lol :P

www.kesselskramer.com (http://www.kesselskramer.com)

Every reload gives a different ---steaming pile of meadow muffin----looking site, and I really wonder if they have a problem if you steal some animated buttons from them :).

My colleagues come looking what stuff i'm watching. I hate unpredicted sound on websites!
By the way, the visuals can be done in CSS too, and the header should be converted to GIF animation. Much lighter and works on iPhones.
