I agree that it is a little difficult to navigate. It took me a sec to understand the navigation scheme. I would make the "filters" larger or more evident but good job. You have some really really nice work on there! 4954 Post 2008-07-08T09:45:12-04:00 129923 4725 2008-07-08T09:45:12-04:00 how is hard to navigate? it even says "scroll here to see works" i dunno, looks pretty slick to me. 4954 Post 2008-07-08T09:47:48-04:00 129927 173 2008-07-08T09:47:48-04:00 i dont think its hard to navigate besides needing a better back button than just a tiny x, i backed out of your site twice before realizing what was up. 4954 Post 2008-07-08T09:49:47-04:00 129930 1146 2008-07-08T09:49:47-04:00 it's pretty but i hate flash websites and it means your site is meaningless to search engines sorry 4954 Post 2008-07-08T10:12:54-04:00 129939 5148 2008-07-08T10:12:54-04:00 I love it, I think it looks great and runs smoothly unlike alot of all flash sites ive seen me da las ganas de tomarme una cuba libre, con mucho hielo y limon :) 4954 Post 2008-07-08T10:21:32-04:00 129946 1498 2008-07-08T10:23:00-04:00 looks awesome... and there are ways around the search engine stuff. Everyone just hears flash and things you cant search for it. 4954 Post 2008-07-08T10:23:17-04:00 129947 1140 2008-07-08T10:23:17-04:00 love the design and colours. 4954 Post 2008-07-08T10:27:21-04:00 129953 2991 2008-07-08T10:27:21-04:00 I'm a fan. You've got a great layout but I have to say I did back out of the site once before I seen the little "x" button. Not a big issue though. 4954 Post 2008-07-08T10:33:27-04:00 129960 4038 2008-07-08T10:33:27-04:00 <blockquote><cite>chalk said:</cite> it's pretty but i hate flash websites and it means your site is meaningless to search engines sorry</blockquote> That's not true. You can still do SEO on a Flash site. 4954 Post 2008-07-08T10:37:28-04:00 129966 1661 2008-07-08T10:37:28-04:00 awesome! I really like the smooth transitions and the layout. The fullscreen mode is nice and really turns it from a webpage into a full gallery experience. You have some insane skill, keep the designs coming. 4954 Post 2008-07-08T11:12:40-04:00 129992 2111 2008-07-08T11:12:40-04:00 <blockquote><cite>justgeoff said:</cite> <blockquote><cite>chalk said:</cite> it's pretty but i hate flash websites and it means your site is meaningless to search engines sorry</blockquote> That's not true. You can still do SEO on a Flash site.</blockquote> True, I just read an article about that. As for the site, the text is super tiny and the navigation threw me off at first. It is still pretty though. 4954 Post 2008-07-08T11:13:42-04:00 129993 245 2008-07-08T11:13:42-04:00 Really cool man. I dig full screen mode. It really takes you in. 4954 Post 2008-07-08T11:15:28-04:00 129994 1027 2008-07-08T11:15:28-04:00 we are commenting the website design as if we where a bunch of web designers, not t-shirt... What's important is to put your work in a good light, and I think this is what was done. I like it. 4954 Post 2008-07-08T11:16:36-04:00 129996 3912 2008-07-08T11:16:36-04:00 <blockquote><cite>hyperhyphen said:</cite> we are commenting the website design as if we where a bunch of web designers, not t-shirt...

And I am a web designer so I can't help it, I look for that kinda stuff. 4954 Post 2008-07-08T11:28:57-04:00 130006 1140 2008-07-08T11:28:57-04:00 <blockquote><cite>a killer wombat said:</cite> <blockquote><cite>hyperhyphen said:</cite> we are commenting the website design as if we where a bunch of web designers, not t-shirt...

Still, I don't think all the others that commented on this are web designers as you are, and you said good things so you are right. It is not just about web sites but all the rest that is going on these days. Seems we become a little bit paranoid here on emptees, and we make a tragedy on everything even when we shouldn't. We are less and less supportive, to summarize this 4954 Post 2008-07-08T11:41:25-04:00 130017 3912 2008-07-08T11:43:55-04:00 <blockquote><cite>jsheldon said:</cite> awesome!
