Thread: Monserrate website

    Monserrate website

    Hello people.

    I´m not sure if any of you would understand anything in the site, cause it is in Portuguese. The essencial is that it is a website for a team (Monserrate) of an on-line manager game(hattrick.org)
    Anyway I think you can comment the design, usability, simplicity, etc!

    The URL to the website is: Monserrate

    the music... well it took my by suprise that the music had words since i usually only hear instrumental music on flash sites. but if the site is portugese, i think you should put a song that is being sung in portugese.

    if i could change something about it, i would line stuff up more... i can be really crazy about lining stuff up... here's an example:



    see how i lined the main box up with the menu and the top bar?
    also, i moved the word "monserrate" over to the left a little cauz it was so close to the edge.

    i would also justify the text, but that's just me, i have a fetish for justified text. when some people read this post, i'm sure they'll be like "justified text is bad, blah blah blah" but i'm just telling you what i personally would do!!!!!

    oh, i also think that right when you go to the site, you should have something already there in the middle, so the user doesn't have to click to see something. just a little usability kinda thing... maybe you could have "news" already up or something.

    I like it, though, it looks like if you just shorten the animation's length in the introduction or increase the framerate that it will be much smoother.

    Muy Bien!

    Nice site. If you're looking to put something in the middle as soon as the page opens, you'd probably do best with the "home" swf. Assuming that home has the same connotation in Portugese as it does in English, I'd change the tab to say "noticias". I like the music and it didn't take much time to load, though I'm on DSL so that probably isn't a very helpful insight. It sounds good, but I'm not sure if it gets the mood across that you're looking for on a soccer page. Your custom scroll buttons look good and stand out (which is the downfall of many others I've seen), but you can't hold them down to scroll. Anyway, I like it.
