There is a vital ingredient in web design which is never mentioned by guys like this : IMAGE. There are many web sites which sell nothing but image -
no products, no marketing: just image. Such a site is:
http://www.fosterandpartners.com/internetsite/Flash.html
4 seconds and I go back to Mars. I saw the "IMAGE", all hundreds kilobytes of it, but I don't know who they are and what they're selling.
It suffers from many of the criticisms: text too small, if you don't have
ADSL you can see the flash loading, etc, but boy - what a site! It all fits in an 800 by 600 browser, and the amount of information contained in there is fantastic.
Small and blurry text. I just skip over blocks of text because I can't read them.
Clicking images doesn't zoom them.
There is no content on this site!
I can't *find* it either: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:http://www.fosterandpartners.com/
