 Checkpoint

Nice imagery and the graphics are cool to look at.

The elements seem disconnected and lacking an overall flavor…  Lizards, paper houses and unfinished cabinetry = ?

The loading intro is excruciatingly long and doesn’t seem to serve a purpose as far as letting the viewer know what the site is about…

I don’t like the fact that I have to chase something across the screen to get a menu.

On your loading movie, you should try smoothing the animated cloud drawings in the background.  The rough edges look bad in comparison to the other graphics on the site.

Overall, I wasn’t sure what the site was about.  I saw unfinished wood products, but can you buy them online? Is it supposed to be a product site or a marketing site?

What’s the chameleon about? Is that the logo of the company?

Congratulations! I really like this one.
In my opinion, the creativity is very good in the scenes and on the videos too, and the quality is hot and runs very smooth and quick to load.
The concept is great. A personal and interesting away to show the products and the brand.
The things I don’t like…the preload is cool but in repeat breaks the feeling and is annoying. And in the section “chi siamo” the text in that perspective is almost impossible to read and the render text with white bg in lcd monitors doesn’t help, because of the brightness

Thanks a lot for your really useful suggestions. This website is about this furnitures, iDecorabili, wich you can paint however you like. The stylized chameleon in their logo is the source of all website. I am going to:

1.  Insert an explanation about all of this in the welcome page, as you suggest

2.  smooth cloud edges

3.  don’t use the preloder when files are cached (but I have to use any time you open a page for the first time of course)

4.  fix the text on chi siamo section

Thanks again

I like it. Please dont have the menu moving so fast at the start.

ok thanx, I’ll slow it down. I have uploaded a partially translated english version now.

Creativity = A+
Bad Ass Iguana = A+

Load times and transition speed are horrible.  Fix that and you got a winner.

Great job.

humm..I’am running mac bp 2.2 and a 8mbit connection and it runs very fast

Beautiful work, amazing visuals.

I agree with the loading times, it’s to much for the target audience.

Also I find it to hard for normal visitors (i.e. not designers) to work with some areas of the website like the catalog for example.

and yes the chameleon kicks ass.

thanks a lot. I am trying to reduce loading time and make transitions faster, I am working on it: it won’t be a modem connection website but I hope to make a better experience for and adsl visitor. thanks

ok now preloder has some parallax movements etc. and transitions are faster. Is it better now? Thanks
