Here is the delayed SOTW 
Although the navigation fooled the heck out of me I went for flipa.
I’ll give a crit tomorow morning, almost 3 am here.
yah man , really like flipa , but the nav to get to the site is somewhat confusing… but still the effects and nice smoothness to the animation and the site gets me. music is dope.
Nim:
I really like your splash page. I think it’s a great idea to have those quicklinks to your clients and favorite sites. I’m not going to crit your HTML site for obvious reasons but I will say that I find it pleasent and very easy to use.
Onto your Flash site. I hate your preloader :-/ No reason for all that info while loading your site. Your header is great, I love the butterfly. Sorry, but I’m starting to see that navigation effect too many times now, although it is nice. I don’t like the choice of fonts you used on the main page.
The blur effect on the transitions are nice as well, but your buttons you use on the contact form really lack in design, and I can tell you made them in less time then it took me to critique your site.
Eduard:
Your splash page really lacks in design, it’s very cluttered and none of your elements have any relationship to the other. The glare is way too high and actually hurts my eyes.
I found the intro to be very boring and didn’t really see the point of it. Your design is cool, but you have some glitches in the site, such as the about section, your content kinda flys around, not sure if it’s supposed to be like that or not.
Well developed site, but can use some work.
Adgen:
You splash page basically says 2A 
I really like the intro, you should actually print this because I never say that about intro’s. I haven’t seen such good use of motion and audio in a long time. You transitions are perfectly timed, you did a great job on that. I found what you said on your contact form, very funny (about if you are upset by using contact forms…)
Design wise your site is nice, but with such great knowledge of motion, etc… I’d like to see something a bit more “wow”.
Well done.
Mr. Mass:
Let’s start with the design. I really like it, I do, but I have a few issues. For one, from 1260x1024 resolution, the white background kind of kills your site. I really like the middle of the site(content area), although I think you could have done a lot more with those grey sides.
Site is a little laggy, I could only imagine what it looks like on a slow pc with a bad video card (not good ). I found the it a tad hard to navigate at first. Text is way too small, almost unreadable to my eyes.
Rkdesign:
I can’t read a word on your splash page, horrible choice/use of fonts.
Design wise, I’ve seen this too many times. The whole menu then content window, then 3 content boxes on the bottom is way overused, and also old.
Your Flash movie is not centered, which is a big (-) in my book. The transition are boring, and don’t do much for me.
Probably the biggest problem I have with your site is the development. When I am in a section, I should not be able to reload that section again. That is another major (-), it basically makes you look like you don’t know Flash. Also, your photo’s section logic is off as well. I should always see a picture, and you have to give the user the choice of clicking and thumbnail and making the picture stay there.
pika
Your splash page is nice, but i can’t read the script font on the bottom. First thing I noticed it your audio buttons are reall hard to find, it took me a while before I could shut the sound off.
Your transitions are nice, but I found all the motion in your site to be choppy, and not smoothe enough. I dig the design but again some fonts are hard to read.
Also I don’t understand why people use pop-ups for their main page. Absoluty no need to have your site open on a pop-up.
Trilogy:
Not sure what the point of the splash page is, the black in the middle is way out of place.
I can’t say I’m wild over the design but the good use of motion and effects are really nice. Very cool little ball you have there. The menu is cool, but it looks like you forgot to embed your preloader fonts, onthe sub pages.
You have some really cool work in your portfolio section, I found the golf ball animation amazing.
therockstar:
I reallly don’t see the point in having the site open in a pop-up. Transitions are nice, some of the motion is a tad slow. Photography is very nice, and I like the photo gallery.
Very creative contact form :thumb:
Ghosthawk:
I really don’t like the spinning logo, it’s actually very annoying. Navigation has been way over used, and the gradients don’t help much either. You have some development issues, there seems to be a whitespace on the very bottom, and the way you have your background images just doesn’t seem right.
Also replaying the header and audio on each page is definatly not a good idea.
flipa:
For such an outstanding site, I can’t belive you made it so hard to get to that first floor. I felt like it took me 5 minutes to enter the site becuase I didn’t have my speakers on and had no clue what was going on.
Not sure what else to say but wow, great concept, great design. Keep it up.
these are done btw
Thanks digital! Btw, for all this time, the critiques posted have largely been anonymous. Should I start including the names of the mods who contributed? I figure it would be nice because critiques do take forever to write
Sounds fine to me, this way they could know who bashed their sites :lol:
