Things that make you go hmmmmm. I've been enthralled with Dominey Design since my first visit to his whimsical, fun and informative business site (the previous version is still available here); now he's redesigned and I just don't get it. My thoughts pretty much echo those of Simon at jessey.net:
Now granted - the previous flash version wasn't very accessible either. But ... I don't know. It had - personality. Which counts for something, right?
Here are Dominey's thoughts about his redesign (posted on his personal site, What Do I Know?).
What do you think? He's an absolutely AMAZING designer ... I mean - wow. Just look through a few of his projects. Extremely talented. I wonder what his thought process was behind this latest design of his business site that is totally inaccessible. Like Simon, I just don't get it. I do like his new logo; and how cool to be confident and secure enough (and in his case, very justifiably so) that you are known by your last name. Your name equals excellent design.
Wow, that's a shame. I couldn't even pull up his personal site. I assume it's supposed to popup a window, since the URL looks like an anchor (#) tag, but nothing pops up in either my news reader or my browser.
