to be honest I dont like the fonts of the screen printing design and get nerdy part, I also think the lightning is distracting, it would be nice to see a transition when each one of the elements come in. instead of just wam there it is wam theres the next image. On the other hand I do like the color scheme you have with sharp contrasting colors and the round edges and shapes.
I don't thinks its even remotely nerdy based on the broadly perceived meaning of the word:
'Nerd is a term, often bearing a derogatory connotation or stereotype, that refers to a person who avidly pursues intellectual activities, technical or scientific endeavours, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests, rather than engaging in more social or conventional activities. The nerd may be awkward, shy and unattractive. Therefore a nerd is often excluded from physical activity and considered a loner by peers, or will tend to associate with like minded people.' Wikipedia.
I guess a lot rests on what the shirts are like as to whether it later gains a nerdy look. The site looks fine - quite stylish and efficient actually; not at all nerdy. Nerdy would be where you had to use Linux to get into it and it only worked on a Mac with Firefox and it rambled on about Avatar and the significance of manga characters or, well you know, who cares?
So - nice straightforward website but not what it says on the can.

Omg I TOTALLY forgot about page transitions! I'll check them out today!
I'm stupid for not explaining that "nerdyeye design" is like my point of view... if that makes sense? Designs from the nerd's point of view. And my definition of nerdy is "art nerdy" cuz I'm an artist and most of my designs r of my artwork, plus I used my photography on the site.
You'll see more when I get my shirts up
Anyway, thanks for the reviews so far! Even tho I'm a different kind of "nerdy" I still think u guys liked the site lol.
And about HTML5, it's not coming out for YEARS!

HTML 5 is out already but is still in production. Even YouTube has an HTML 5 version.
But really Flash is on it's deathbed. Things are moving toward using CSS, Java, and HTML5 to create animation embed video etc.
Flash is becoming more about creating light applications rather than websites now.

HTML5 is hardly supported by current browsers. Also Flash still has plenty of life in it still as HTML is not planned on being completed until the early 2020s. Also HTML5 is not as impressive as the next generations of CSS. Currently, the only impressive thing that HTML5 does is video, but that is just using the h.264 video codecs which have been around forever. If anything takes over Flash it will be CSS3 and beyond, where animations, shadows, gradients, transitions etc are all feasible through code.
All in all Flash is still WIDELY used in the largest of products and by the largest firms in webdesign. In case you haven't noticed, both Nike and Adidas websites are in flash. Nike's store is ENTIRELY in Flash.
Seems like most of them support large portions of HTML5 and CSS other than the browser than no nerd would be caught using. In fact even non-nerds are leaving it in herds. IE is by far the worst browser in general but also worst in keeping up with trends to move toward modern markup.
Most important of anything I've talked about though is the increase in mobile browsing. If your site won't work at all on an iphone, ipad, or other cellular device you're missing an increasing market.

This shows the browsers that support both new CSS and HTML5

IE is the worst browser but it still has over 30% market share. If 30% of people cannot see your HTML5 you have larger problems than people not able to see your products on your iPhone.
iPhone is losing market share to the far superior OS Android anyway, which does support Flash and it runs magnificently on it, as does HTML5 and CSS3

Flash is definitely not widely used in ecommerce. Nike is more of an exception rather than the rule. People are going to buy from nike.com anyway because they are nike (and excuse any extra hurdles because they're nike)
Forgetting completely about HTML5...My suggestion if you're going to be doing any type of ecommerce from your site would be to just use regular HTML (and preferably a shopping cart) instead of a flash/wix powered site.
I said that web design still used Flash widely, not ecommerce. I am a web designer at a firm in Los Angeles so I am speaking from experience. Flash is still alive and well even if many people don't realize it.
Within the web design industry, from firm to firm, flash is still looked at as the pinnacle of skill in development and design
Anyway, OP can have is thread back, I just needed to post my $0.02

You're hardly the only one here working in the design industry, and a lot of us know that simply to be not true.
If there's a consensus on flash, and there absolutely is not, it's that it's an ill-used dinosaur. Flash as "the pinnacle of skill" is absolutely last century's thinking on the topic.
If you worked with any true design firm and not just mediocre DIY or freelance from home college students you would know what you are talking about.
Just look at thefwa.com. That there is work from the finest firms around the world, and it is all flash work for huge clients.
When it comes down to creating specific one-off sites, Flash is almost a necessity. It's not a matter of being accessible, which is what the low level designers keep their minds in. Accessibility is not a primary goal in marketing, standing out is.
