We've recently launched our new agency website - the last one was a bit complicated, and a bit over the top with jQuery. We've tried to simple down the navigation and content and make it easier to show off our work.

All thoughts appreciated oceanseventy - integrated and digital marketing

nice illy on the homepage.

when the site turns black for the portfolio... I felt a bit like I was leaving the site for a few seconds.

aye that fella. i likes it.

Dusteh · 29-05-2008, 12:08

I like it alot. Great work. My only comment is that I was unclear in your showcase when the group of logos popped up. Are those simply clients, or did you design all of those logos? Might want to clarify that.

Sorry, misread, thought you wrote 'Lilly', and was looking for a flower. I like the illustration

f-thom · 29-05-2008, 14:39

Looks really good and I like the boat! Does fell a bit strange being transfered to a black background but I think it still works and creates a nice contrast between parts of the site! Good job!

karmedic · 29-05-2008, 22:12

I love the front page - a fresh look and great use of font faces. v nice work.

WeeJames · 30-05-2008, 05:59

Cheers guys, the site plays havoc with my mind.. part of me loves the simplicity and the big illustrations and then another part of me says that i need to flood the homepage with a pile of CTA's!

Pugsley · 30-05-2008, 06:37

very nice stuff mate. It's weird watching your show reel and seeing heaps of stuff that i recognise. Nice to know who did it.

Only question i have is, Who sings the song in your showreel. Cause i really like it?

Cracking tune.

stuntman · 30-05-2008, 07:45

Like it.

Not sure about the tune though, sounds like "The Proclaimers" to me.

Pugsley · 30-05-2008, 07:57

thats kinda why i like it. Must be a scottish thing.

Coops · 30-05-2008, 08:05

Sorry but I don't like it at all. It feels really clumsy and awkward and unresolved - jumps about all over the place. In Safari on my Mac, the 'logo' and links are touching the left hand side of the screen...

Susanna-Cole · 30-05-2008, 14:32

I like the illustration on the main page but not that navagation as much... not a fan of the font choice.
The video on the our work/showcase page is pretty awesome and refreshing... never seen some put a video such as on their portfolio page.

I love it, the only thing I don't like is the transition light -> black on the portfolio

Its something i wasn't sure about at first, but the work stands out so much better on black that i felt it was worth the initial strangeness given the end result.

mehran2 · 31-05-2008, 08:35

I really like your site! I think the black background is worth it. The only thing I dont like is the robot doing the 70's dance thing
