The cross I bear

Couple things I noticed right off the bat:

  • Your “lightbox” effect for work you’ve done isn’t really doing it for me. The spinny loading indicator seems very oddly placed, and the dark background that fades in doesn’t cover my whole screen. Aside from that, I don’t think the lightbox effect is a good choice in this case. You’d be better off coming up with a solution that fits into your design better.

  • The km logo generally doesn’t have any good alignment with other elements of the page, so it feels like it’s just floating awkwardly. Play around with it a little to keep it anchored with the rest of the design.

  • People with high resolution can see the content off to the right, even when it’s supposed to have “disappeared”. I would suggest moving it even farther away, or having the alpha fade out as it goes to the side.

  • The way the font size varies on the left-side menu is kind of weird. You should make it uniform.

  • Under “how” the initial large text animation is very very blunt, for lack of a better word. It’s just like BAM BAM BAM, and it doesn’t really fit. You should put some more time into making it smoother. Also, the orange arrow that circles the km logo and follows your mouse becomes disjointed from the box, depending on it’s position - it would look better if it always stayed connected.

  • Most of your text is gray/black, but some of the words are highlighted as orange for emphasis. This makes them really look like links, which can be confusing.

  • I don’t really get the “kumquat martini” thing… It turns my cursor into a hand pointer, making me think it’s clickable, but nothing happens. If it really doesn’t do anything, I’d get rid of it. It doesn’t add anything, and it’s a little confusing.

Sorry for the long list, I’m not trying to be negative, just trying to help. Overall, I think it’s very attractive and clean - I think you’re definitely on the right track, keep it up! :beer:

(Also, I don’t really understand the poll on this thread, so I’m just not going to even bother voting)
