RE: UKNM: Egg.com website

[Harry Parkes]

Further to Stefan's post I clicked on www.egg.com/branding and got a page

created for Greg Marks on 4th September 1998 -  who he, I think we should be

told? My chosen user name was 'still waiting' ???


Addit, though personal, views :


Very pretty....but....


I never really liked splash screens and endless multimedia sequences - I

like to go in a find out what's the offering and tend to find ad sequences

uninspiring and irrelevant, especially in what is primarily a content based

site. Whilst the site remembers it's shown them once it scared me off going

anywhere else


I was a bit disappointed at how shallow the site is, it looks like all the

budget has gone into graphics and very little into info/services of any real

use or value


The reliance on text slots as graphics in 1st and 2nd levels means I have no

control over font settings/sizes, luckily I have reasonably good vision, and

didn't want to print. The sub-menu options are very hard to read.


As Azeem stated and others refer to


usability = nil point (IMHO)


- but, how happy all the Egg employees look! Shame there isn't a 'jobs'

section ;)
