A clinic in effective web design.
I dunno, it's quick and dirty, but not horrible. I can read and browse the site easily, there's a lot of white space, and they've even got breadcrumbs.

Sometimes I get very annoyed with the overdesigned aesthetics-before-all-else Shaun Inman approach to displaying complex information.

Well, that is one positive aspect of stacking all your photos in a single vertical strip 36 pages long. White is tranquil.

Heh. Wolfdog, I was talking about the whole site. I'd agree that usability experts might take issue with the Tower of Very Small Thumbnails.

I've seen worse. Shit, I've made worse.

So you've said.

So I did. I guess I have nothing new to add, then. Carry on.

too dead simple. any moron can figure it out. it needs flash. a cryptic menu consisting of animated gizmoids that wiggle on mouseover and give no clue as to what happens if you click. i'll do the job for $18,000.

Very often when I find pages via google (maybe especially with image search) I come across some odd looking designs like this which is almost always because they are actually part of a framed layout, but I'm accessing the pages without the frames. At first I thought this might be the same thing, but I guess not.

ok, $19,500 but that's final.
