For Flash done wrong, visit http://www.ledzeppelin.com using Firefox.

I can't believe that so-called 'professional' web designers can be so stupid.

Edit - they've fixed this sometime in the last year. Who resurrected this thread?

Both of these are completely unusable for me. And will be for the foreseeable future. As is the http://www.ledzeppelin.com site.

This is the thing... what have they gained from whatever have they have attempted to do? Does it spin, and fly around the place? That's amazing. Things flying around the place is outstanding. I would love to have things rippleing and spinning all over the place at sv650.org.

*None* of it works in any shape at all for me, and there is no way I can ever look at those sites, unless I suppose I buy a specific OS and a specific browser.

And, I think that is weak.

What OS / Browser are you using? Both of those work on my Mac (with both Safari and Firefox). I can't try them on my Linux box as it's currently unplugged.

oh dear Zig, are you trying to sort that boss of yours out again?? Why don't you just set up your own company?!!

I would also say, only change your present site, if you are going to make it more simple, more intuitive. Get people in to test this, like your ma etc.

Great advice this. I've done a bit of research on websites amongst users in the past and a good stack of them are stupid while the rest generally can't be bothered looking at the page too much & just want to find where they need to click next. the designers really need to be thinking about how the customer will use the site rather than just the fancy stuff

Worth considering who you sell stuff to as well - i'm guessing quite a few older people, and we all know how good our mums are on the internet! so get people you know who fit your client group to have a play around before you finalise the site. If they were really looking for a kitchen, what would they want to find out from a website? etc

Thanks for all the input and links guys, some very useful ideas there.
That http://www.warprecords.com/ was just far to busy for my eyes. Its the type of site i personaly would close and find something thats more easy on the eye.

But keep em coming peeps.

The more ideas the better, the quirkier the better too.
Me myself, i loved this http://www.esao.net/ how fun is that? Gave me a giggle when i first clicked on paintings too. You'll have to discover it for yourself cos i'm not telling where or why

How about
