RE: FLASH: Site test

[Len Harrison]

Nice site overall. Three points to consider:

1) Your second level buttons require the user to rollover the button itself

while on the first level your buttons are textual and pointing to the text

itself triggers button action. Although this isn't totally inconsistent,

there is a certain expectation set up that the text is hot which is then

contradicted as the user moves through the site. This can be easily

corrected by defining the hit zone on your buttons to flow out into the text

so that the user can click or rollover either text or buttons to trigger

activity.

2) I personally don't like the font effects here. They hinder readability

(not difficult for someone who doesn't read much French in the first place).

The combination of outlines and fill is rendered differently for different

letters contributing to a semi-grunge typography that looks erratic and can

be difficult to decipher. I don't feel the grunge effect is appropriate to

the rest of the design which is generally sleek, hard-edge, techno. Suggest

a cleaner, sharp sans-serif face without the embellishments, Tekton, Bank

Gothic, or other.

3) The chartreuse background on the multimedia section clashes with the teal

and aqua of the rest of the site. Suggest something more restrained or

possibly expanding the palette in a different direction entirely such as

pale yellow, or something in the rose, brown, or even orange direction.

Hi all,

My own site is open.

http://cgconseil.com

It's in french.

Thanks to all to test it and give me some feedback.

I need to add some stuff as music on some parts. But it's near to be

finished.

Christian
