So Samsung has a new web site (at least, since I last visited). I really like it. The subtle use of Flash to help with communicating and navigation, the really sharp and crisp photos with bright colors. Very well done.
I ran across the new Sapient web site the other day and thought it was pretty cool. A couple of interesting things to note, however. The apparent lack of a decent title tag on the homepage (what’s up with “Home”). I like the sub navigation. Nicely done, strong colors, very “print-like.”
The Athens 2004 Summer Olympics begin today starting with the opening ceremony. I thought it might be a perfect occasion to talk about the Athens web site. Looks to me like they’re really using some dynamic stuff this year, and focusing on providing content. One thing I noticed missing immediately was the corporate sponsors. Where’s…
I found the Lacoste site rather different. It is painfully overdone with simple animations and blends and if you removed them would make the site so much better. Problems: Hard to navigate, big buttons that have graphics but mean nothing, and not enough product is shown.
Go Daddy recently redesigned their homepage and it is vastly improved. So much better that for a change it doesn’t take me 10 minutes just to get my bearings when I visit. For a change the page takes less effort and that’s really good.
I ran across Splunk this morning. I thought the design was quite nice… it’s clean, has a low color impact, and big bold headlines and cheesy tag lines. You can even refresh the page to see a different one. I like it.
The Mr. Beer web site is pretty cool. I like the confident use of red in all of the pages, and how they’ve provided tons of content.
