Yeah, when you site is finished, I think it would be good competition in the SOWT thread.

I like it, it just needs to be completed 🙂

Well put everything else aside… what could be more important?

LOL, I am just kidding. Take your time, things come out better when you don’t rush them.

looks pretty neat! yeah, it _is_ amazing for a first site! tho my only comment would be why pop up or fullscreen when your only using like 1/2 of the space?

First thing to say is that I like the idea of giving your users a choice of whether to have a pop up or not, but I’m not sure about the full screen thing. Makes it more difficult if you need to look at another window. You’ve got to alt+tab then, which is more time consuming. But definitely bonus points for giving the option.

My other comment would be that once you get in there, there’s no text until you’ve made around two clicks in the menus. I guess people might think it’s broken or still loading or something. Just a thought.

Overall though you’ve done a great job. I love the guy sitting cross legged in the side, and the bouncing boxes work really well. Good layout and design as well.

I don’t use 1/2 of the space. I’m using 720\*380 pixels.  
At my monitor (21") it is a 1/3 of the space. And I still like it to see in popup or fullscreen…

It is surprising how many people love the fullscreen. Just to check is there a close button or not? And visually it looks cool.

Yes, U have right here.  
Initially, the top(upper) menu was closed by default too… I wanted to force people to explore the site by self. Just two, small, blue boxes. Later, I’ve opened a top menu, because people were lost… (between two buttons)

From personal experience I can say that the majority of web users can’t stand full screens.

And I know I can’t.

I chose to open in the pop-up because I don’t mind them as much as full screens.

That’s OK. That is the reason why you can choose on my page…

I can’t stand myself too, but Gabi and two friend of mine does. :crazy:  
If I know 3 people, that is enough for me to let them decide. :q:

Well 3 people compared to the millions and millions of people around the globe is kinda slim…lol.

What I usually do on a site that has a pop up is offer 2 or 3 options.

Normal Window | Pop Up Window | Full Screen Window
