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

Tailslide Posts: 5999 Joined: 5/10/2005 From: Out here on the raggedy edge Status: offline	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. _____________________________ "My strategy is so simple an idiot could have devised it" Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Blood, Sweat & Rust - A Land Rover restoration project (in reply to jaybee)


Mojo Posts: 2431 From: Chicago Status: offline	RE: Site design - 6/29/2005 11:03:56 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. _____________________________ Split Testing Chicago Order Fulfillment Emergency Kits (in reply to Tailslide)
