Ok.... you've got some nice ideas there but I think your failing in the execution. From a pure theory point of view it's a human interface nightmare. Your breaking all the rules which isn't really a bad things but you have to be careful when you do. Right of the mark I was upset that you gave me no insentive to click on the image to launch the website (My cursor didn't change to my that lovabul little hand). This also made me a little scared of what I was likely to find beyond. Sadly my fears were justified. I had to read an entire paragraph of text before I knew how to navigate your website. Furthermore, my eye was not drawn to this paragraph and due to it's importance it should have been. Let me extroplate on this some more by describing what I (a possible many other people) went through on my first visit. Because the page appeared in a popup my focal point started where my cursor was (center of the screen). My eye was then drawn up to the top of the popup because of the red and the elements of line converging on a an invisible point element. Also because we native english (and many other languages) speking humans tend to read an image much the same way we do a page of text, start at the top-left and moving to the right and down. Then my eye jumped down to the bottom as I found nothing at the top. Because you have a page sitting on a white background (the white is the splash page under the popup) my eye was drawn left when it went down as the white rectangle where the paragraph is tends to receed into the background making the grey area seem more important. Finaly I reached what should have been the primary focal point which was the paragraph and I saw the word info. Although I didn't read the paragraph then as it didn't seem to important (the contrast is too muted). Instead I start sreaching for some kind of navagational reference. I couldn't find one so I started romaing my mouse over the image looking for the feedback of a cursor change for linked areas. Still nothing, around about now I'm thinking that this is all there is to the website. Finaly I decide to read the paragraph I found earlier and eventualy figure out how to navigate your website. I'll have to leave this as just a review of the site's interface for now as I'm a tad busy. If I get time I'll add more later. Loading...
