I would like comments on the design of the site and functionality. You can sign up for free and watch a few shows... tell me if the sign up works or is a little too confusing.

Most important is first impression on seeing the web site (http://www.zimtv.com)

Would you come back?

Did it load fairly quick for you or it took it's time to load.

Can you give me any recommendations for things I could change to make it look better, or should I just keep it the way it is.

Can I get some reviews?!?! Just a little anxious that's all.

Hello, Sedaine! Welcome to TWF! Thanks for reviewing some other sites before asking for your own review.

The first problem I had with this site is that I had no idea what it was supposed to be about. The front page should make that very clear, especially with a new and unique service like yours. I think I'm extra confused here because I'm not familiar with any of these shows.

Otherwise the design isn't too bad. It does seem rather choppy with all the boxes and such. Resist the urge to draw a box around everything.

Like Megan said you can't figure out what your site is on at first glance. I think the site would look better if you got rid of the outlines of the "how it works" box. I also think that the links right next to the sound wave thing should have an underline on hover. I like the colors though!

I think it's now clear what the site does... I also added a demo link that is prominent enough I think.

Trying to get comments on the new look. You can access the demo section for free video demos.

Any ideas on things that I can change or brush up on?

hmm, nice generally, but I don't like the blue headers.

though the site appears very attractive,
i think you have not made use of stylesheet fully.
your code has lot of style attributes for td that can easily be avoided using a few lines of code in stylesheet thus making the HTML clean and easy to modify in the future.

Nice. It loaded kinda slow for me. Maybe it is my internet connection.

it looks nice, but Homesite's document weight tool returns 125.34kb just for the front page. That would take about 20 seconds to load on a 56k modem. I would suggest using gif images with low color depth instead of jpegs for the smaller images. This should reduce file size without sacrificing image quality.
