RE: FLASH: OT:Drawing a big ole thick line...

[Brack, Jeremy]

is the site intended to be a user experience, or is it intended to be useful

for locating cool sites?


if its intent is to be a user experience.. then make it as crazy as

possible!!!

but if your trying to hand out information, then you should make things

obvious and simple.

I have a little ranting to do. I wanted to get your opinion. I developed a

site that breaks a lot of the "design rules". I got some opinions from

people ranging from, the type is too small, interface isn't intuitive,

buttons aren't noticeable...etc. Now this isn't a corporate site, it's a

personal site meant to provide some cool links to cool sites. I hate the

term experimental, but it's very hunt and peck. There's room to figure out

how things work. That was my plan, to create total chaos. My

question....what's the line between a site being crazy and a site being very

usable.


I mean do you like to mess around and try to find stuff or do you like to

get straight to the point?
