Webtronik

Fresh ideas and some funky design. It's in French but who cares?
A nice navigation idea, with drag and drop being the order of the day. Quite a minimalist design, but it works quite nicely.

Maybe the biggest problem with the site is that none of the buttons have the links actually printed on them... Just the instruction to drag and drop...

Yeah, its a nice site other than you dont know where your next bubble will take you. I like the idea of the drag and drop though. It makes it different and keeps people from haveing to do the same old boring click. Its nice too

very nice, i like it. I dont think the "not knowing where each bubble takes you" thing is a problem cos once you have viewed each one its pretty easy to work out whats behind each bubble. If there where loads of them it would be a different story.

Lovin the curved stroll bars!!

Very nice and relaxed. I loved the round scroller, what a good idea! I think the way the drag and drop worked was very good, it made real use of this feature and invited the user to expolre the site more - Keeping the audience entertained.

Nice look, simple but effective design.

Have to say this is exactly what I don't like about flash sites. I haven't got a clue what is going on with this.

What's wrong with having buttons that you click on?

"Drag moi"? like where do I have to drag the damn thing??? GRRRRR. Its flash and flashy purely for the sake of being flashy and at the expense of being usable.

Sorry guys, I vote this one as a definite turdy.

This is pretty poor. Drag and drop, although rather obvious, was completely pointless. And without any labels, you don't know what you're clicking on. This is a major problem on the examples of work (the third bubble) - there were dozens to drag-and-drop, without any knowledge of what each one was. Want to view that really good one you just saw? Tough luck, unless you can remember it as the-third-from-right-bubble or whatever, you'll have to go through 'em again! It just seems to punish the user. And curved scrollbars - I hadn't even noticed them until someone pointed it out...

The final straw is the volume meter. Hmm, I need to turn off the music... of course, I click on that circle on the right and slide it to the bottom. How intuitive.
