Hi ~ All the gurus out there, could you guys please take a look at www.simmu.net and let me know how you guys feel about it ? Thank you

Confused.

Why's it all on one page with huge gaps in between?

And you haven't repeated the menu so work to contact means going from top to middle back up to the top and then to the bottom. Madness.

looks fine. image quality could be better.
it's not very obvious at a glance as to which text goes with which image.

and what stickman said.

This site is design to show the clients/employer a fast glance of my portfolio and that is why i put everything in a single page.

Hmm, you got a point there regarding the navigation system. Would you create duplicate buttons that will solve this problem ?

No.

What's wrong with having individual pages?

Now that you mentioned, it does looks confusing. Arh...this is bad, I started to lose confidence on my design....lol

You need to check your spelling.
As Stevo pointed out 'responsibled' is not a word.

Notin's wrong with individual pages...I just wanted to let the clients to have different nav. experience.

How many people here disapproved with one page design ?

sub · 08-05-2006, 13:41

I don't disapprove of one page designs.
I'm just not keen on sites that have been built without usability in mind. And, I don't think making people have to scroll up and down the page to find information improves user experience.

However, when the navigation experience is a bad one, then it's not going to help you get any work. Being different can certainly impress people, but only if it's done well.

Either switch to pages or make the navigation repeat no matter where on the page you are. Nothing against one-page sites, but the navigation needs to be consistent.

Looks good, though. Fix the nav and you'll be pretty solid.

Agreed, in order to solve this problem, I included a "top" btn to prevent the user from scrolling upwards and downwards. Ofcoz, until stickman pointed out the navigation issues.

I actually wanted the user to have less click experience...maybe it just doesn't work on my layout ??

Hmm, you see, I'm trying not to have a repeative navigation, espeasially in one-page design. Having multipage pages could easily solve this problem, but I wonder is there anyway to provide a better usability in one-page sites ?

finbarr · 08-05-2006, 15:13

why the huge gaps between sections tho? Or is that only in FF?

Well, an example would be morellc.com - that's all JavaScripty and whatnot. The navigation repeats in each section and it's optimized for 800x600 it seems (but also works at other resolutions).

Those gaps is to trick the user to think of that as the end of the section, hmm,guess it didn't work out the way I expected.

Yes, I know this website and they did a good job for one-page's site. Their layout fits the repetitive navigation, not sure on my layout though. Any suggestion to improve my navigation on such layout ? Thank you
