Ooooooooh, this is a neat site. I like the non-intrusive sound effects coupled with huge pictures. What’s better is that the page size stays the same and you are not overloaded with information or designy stuff. I’m not sure what the paper airplanes and paper boxes are supposed to represent, but they are nicely photographed.
Great use of space to fit a lot of content into an easy to view screen. It has been done in a way that keeps confusion out, and makes you feel like taking an adventure.
The red used on this site is quite nice, and I like how NetIQ has organized the site based on the different needs of the visitors (large company vs. small). Each product is very easy to find. Although it is nice how the pages stretch to fit the screen, it makes printing nearly impossible as the words go off the edge. NetIQ should provide a printable version for easy printing.
Pre-Order Moby’s new disc “18″ – to be released May 12
Yeah, I know this isn’t design-related but it’s kind of cool. If you buy the CD prerelease, Amazon lets you immediately listen to a high-quality stream of the whole album. This is the way it ought to be for every CD so you can listen to it immediately after buying over the web, and still have the real CD when it’s released.
Besides the m-Business thing, this site is pretty cool. The colors compliment the images and navigation. Even the logo is interesting. Some pages have javascript errors, and that’s just bad business.
When you are hungry for pizza you don’t have time to mess with the details. That’s where Pizzahut.com wins hands down. First thing you are thinking about is getting a good deal. And they answer that by giving you a few simple options. First is to find a pizza hut nearby. Next? Coupons. Print them right from the site. Very cool.
Cardthartic: cards to honor your emotions
It’s my little sister’s birthday tomorrow. It’s too late to send a real card, but I found a great place to make an e-card for occasions like this.
Oh, and… I love you and will always be here for you, Nova!
April 02 is the premiere issue of edesign magazine. From what I’ve seen, it’s a winner. I plan to subscribe. The web site itself is nicely done and if they keep it updated frequently enough, will prove to be a good resource for both discussion and news.
