Brandon -> Site design (6/28/2005 11:26:00)

Hey guys this question might seem kind of out there, but I’m looking for websites that doesn’t go with the standard of having the menu to like the right and left of the page. More kind of like what Gap is doing with there site. www.gap.com Does anyone know of any sites that sick out in your mind of more design and less standard? Thanks

Hi

There are loads of sites out there that don't follow the normal formula - Have a look at these sites which are monthly competitions for site design and you'll see quite a few spectacular designs - http://www.unmatchedstyle.com/gallery/2005/03/index.php

And this one's for CSS based sites in particular: http://cssvault.com/2005/06/index.php

My current favourites include: http://chiseko.hosted.doosh.net/ don't try this one on a dial up!
and http://www.komodomedia.com/ Yes the nav is on the right - but still it's cool.

You know we'll be here all day if you start a "cool site" thread!

Then there is always http://www.csszengarden.com/

Their focus is really about css, but it might give you some ideas.

People reckon css sites are boring. I think that cssvault shows just how wrong you can be.

Interesting, not obvious so a lot of my visitors would never find it and SLOOOOW to load.



Tailslide -> RE: Site design (6/29/2005 7:59:30)

No not obvious at all, doesn't work with JS disabled, can't say I'd ever put it on a client's site but even so I found myself going:

click (out) click (in) click (out) "weeee" click (in) etc etc.

I know, I'm fantastically easy to please!

I've had a bad morning a. avoiding my work and feeling guilty and b. having a huge row with a prize idiot on another forum which has made me feel really old.

If you're selling something you should stick to the standard way of doing things. Gap and other large companies can get away with it because they are already well known and trusted. Mom & Pop shops don't fair as well when they step out of the comfort zone.

Couldn't agree more. Make life remotely hard for people and they'll leave the site.
