The Jordan Webpage...

There's the website.

It's been awhile since I ran across such good looking page.

In fact I rarely run across pages of this caliber at all.

Anyone have any idea how much it'd cost to do a website like this?

 

[Epic Fail]

one word: bloated

Mind filling me in?

I'm not sure what you mean.

I think he means it's got too much crap on it and it's really hard to navigate.

would you like to wait for all the flash to load before you can make a post here?

it's flash 8, and it's nike. A multi-billion dollar company.

I'm sure it didn't cost more than 20 bucks.

56k people would probably never see this site unless they took a day or two off work.

Yeah, really. Flash pages just make me sick.

 

[Literati]

The page loaded in like 20 seconds for me, and as for navigating I haven't ran into 1 problem yet.

Seriously, it's been a ridiculously smooth experience.

*shrug*

Sorry I guess?

 

[Literati]

Anyone have anything better?

I'm interested in seeing more of these sub-par flash pages.

Navigation is hard because you have to mouse over everything to figure out what does what. Pretty annoying in my opinion.

I LOVE the new jumpman commercial and went to that site a while ago to see if they had it, I agree it 'looks' spiffy, but it navigates like a pregnant woman and it's hard to tell what section is what.

I disagree.

Anyone else have an idea?

it's a work of art :Q

but art makes for a terrible website

 

[Noirish]

HTML 101 - Keep load time under a couple seconds!

You have to roll over things to see what they are. Except when you roll over something, everything else drops into the background. Very annoying.

 

[Literati]

Soooo yea, any examples of a good flash site?

Show me the light.

It's flashy (no pun intended ) and pretty, but the problem with flash-only sites is that they break some of the basic principles of web interfaces that all web users are familiar with.

For instance, most users expect to be able to hit the back button and return to the page they last visited. This doesn't work on a flash-only site.

Good user interfaces should reuse interface controls that the user knows and is comfortable with. That's why Windows applications generally reuse the same Microsoft common controls; if I need to save a file, I'm immediately familiar with the dialog window regardless of the application I'm using. Web sites are no different, and it's best to work with the familiar concepts of HTML and browser navigation rather than to try and subvert them.

Homestarrunner.com?

IMO, no flash site is a good flash site, but since H*R is purely for entertainment, it's forgivable.
