Site Review - Julie Garwood
I have to quit showing you BAD examples (like this) before you are familiar with many good examples ... but it's so fun!
Answer
1. What is the primary purpose of this site?
2. How long did it take from submitting the page to actually seeing something?
3. Do you think this would work on an older computer?
You can see why people would do this kind of thing, because it's kind of cool. Yes, cool for a game or a diversion, but if you're trying to sell something (Like books!), or get some information across (Wikipedia) you want to be quick and efficient. They don't make stores into mazes or amusement parks, because they want you in, and out with a purchase.
While you may (and should) make your sites interesting, also make them easy to use ... people should not have to "learn" how to use your site.
