Re: FLASH: site architecture

[nadia]

hi remik

we already had this discusion a few weeks ago on the list when i first

postet my sites. many people don't like fullscreen, some people just love

it. 

first i would say it depends on the content. for my sites i think fullscreen

is ok, they don't have to stand next to other sites, actually i want the

user to dive into them, rather than surfing on top...

and second: browsers are ugly, they disturb design and with fullscreen we do

have a possibility to get arround that!

but i do agree fullscreen is not the solution for every site. as i said it

depends very much on the content and, if fullscreen, always with a close

window button for those who don't know how to close the window on pc/ie.



cheers, nadia
