I wa thinking a splash page might be nice,  integrated with the navigation to not be a total waste of time. I think i recall em saying room hire was the main purpose of the sight, so thought a splash page could be a great way of giving the studios immediate impact and insight into their character and style, but according to above blogs and posts :
they're just terrible for search engines.
loading times are frankly unacceptable
and 25% of bloody impatient bastards do a runner before its had to time to properly appear.

fine then web blogs, you snobby bastards, i wont get involved with this idea, perhaps ill just do a rock solid incredible theme that combines practicality, functionality and logical navigation with a fucking good design and way of laying things out, to show off a decided identity throughout the site, entwining personality, innovative colour and shape design around and through a site using white space and a geometrical layout of easily accessible information. maybe itll grow as you go around the pages like a living brething organism, perhaps itll develop and progress and each page will be an extension of the last, the theme and design getting stronger, but never overbearing on the content or the purpose of the sight. Im probably gonna pick some real nice shocking colours. Switch, the logo, electricity, fuck mundane.
