Very impressive looking. But is it for a museum/art gallery or a business? It will be initially appealing for young kids, but after they find out that they can just get picture of clothing and available sizes, they'll quickly lose interest. What's the connection between kid's fantasy story and jeans?

Literally all Flash and no substance, as it were.

What is the goal of the site? Who is the audience? How is a user affected by visiting the site? How does the presence of this website affect the bottom line for this business?

Beautiful, but...

Most people won't have the patience to hang around for long. If you have any analytical software, I’m lay bets on you seeing people leaving the website before they get beyond the first page. Also, check your links.. I didn’t track it down, but site report card says you have at least one (along with some meta tag warnings).

A few things:

The intro is very well done, but it does nothing to tell me what the site is about or why I should go deeper. It also didn't fit in my window (I have the windows taskbar on the right and opera panels on the left so my actual window width is about 800px). Now I seem to be stuck at the end of the intro which is giving me a bunch of lame catch phrases. Now, normally I would just leave, but since I'm writing this review, I'll start over...

Oh, I see what happened. I had zoomed out so I could see the full animation and that did something werid to the flash that cut off all the navigation. Alrighty, zoom in again. Now I'm on the main page of the site. I still don't know what this company is about.

When I went into the products area, it took me some time to figure out what to do. I have no idea what your different styles mean. How should I know what one to click on? Then I get a list of male/female. Okay, fine, I'll pick "female bottom." Now I just get a bunch of numbers ?!?#?!??$#@? Huh???? Once I click on a number, I get a very small picture of the actual jeans with a chart that I assume indicates sizing avaiability (very small range of sizes for women, BTW! Skinny people only!). Nothing else. I expected to find something about the fit, craftsmanship, fabric, stitching etc. etc., but all there is is a picture! I guess you can't order online so maybe it's okay to do without the details.

So, what if I decide I want to buy this. I go to the "where to buy" page and get a map of what looks to be the eastern edge of Russia. THat's not the most accurate looking map, first of all, and a lot of people wouldn't know their geography well enough to recognize what it is. Oh, I see, it's following my mouse. So I try to move it over to North America, where I am, but it won't go that far! Now, after all that, I find out that this product isn't available on my continent! Great.

Overall this is a very impressive looking site, but I find that it doesn't work very well at all. This is the problem with using flash to do full site development, and the reason why it gets criticized so much. People tend to get caught up in the fanciness and don't consider usability.

The flash movie is great. I just love it. However I think that you can still optimize it a little to make it load faster.

Also, you could do something with the graphics.. took a while for them to load.

All in all i like your website. Looks fantastic. Good job.

Cheers,

StudioWorks

Your flash is really fantastic, but to long for web on 56k modem.

The sites technically excellent. May I ask where you got the score from ? I am looking for something very similar

Great Animations but unfortunatly I don't have the patience to sit thru them to find out what the site is actually about.

You have an html version but the navigation links default to some language other then english so I had no clue what they were and again I did not have enough patience to wade thru them to find out.

As an example of the webmasters ability with flash animations and images it's a great site as a serious website I find it lacking. Difficult to navigate and I'm still not sure what the site is promoting as I lost patience and left.

Flash animations are nice but I've found that most surfers like pages to load quickly and to know right away what a website is about.
