Comments on: SS+K’s new website goes live http://www.nonfamous.com/wp/2003/06/30/ssks-new-website-goes-live/ commentary on the world around us, with an effort to keep paranoia at the lowest healthy level Thu, 04 Dec 2008 01:36:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: david http://www.nonfamous.com/wp/2003/06/30/ssks-new-website-goes-live/#comment-172 david Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 +0000 http://www.nonfamous.com/wp/2003/06/30/ssks-new-website-goes-live/#comment-172 Well, despite an initial reservation about the microfiche concept, I quite like the interface of the SS+K site. Surprisingly, it's even quite usable. You do get a good, instantaneous sense of what you can expect to find in the site, and navigating via the "microfiche" lends itself well to exploration, as good websites should. However, the interface for the "Services" section is an abomination, and deserves a mention in the Interface Hall of Shame. It's almost impossible to determine what hyperlinks are available, and those you can find follow you around and interfere with finding others! And surely "ACTG" would have been better dummy text in keeping with the DNA metaphor than "asdf"? But despite this small anomaly, a great site.
