Love that nav look! The only thing I catch is that the tires (?) in the "products" mouseover effect suffer from the "jaggies" a little, they aren't dithered nicely to their own background. Here's a clickable link to the site:

Nice graphics, but they're fat http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

If I have time, I'll put them on a quick diet later tonight and show you what I mean. Basically, I'm sure they can lose some of those KB with no or very little discernable change in quality.

Other than that, it's cool http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

Stephen,

What resolution are you running? Even at 800 x 600 the entire navigation graphic fits... I only have to scroll down to see the other stuff at the bottom. The whole navigational thing fits nicely.

I don't know if I agree that 75% of people won't scroll - that's pushing it a little http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif Besides, a mouse with the little wheel helps to lower that percentage a little, too, as more people buy them (I couldn't live without the wheel) http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

too bad the wheels only work with PCs http://www.aota.net/ubb/frown.gif

Though Apple's inclusion of USB in all its new computers should help some of those wheels to show up on this side of the aisle! http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

I like the navigational aspects, but there is one main problem with that top page. It doesn't all fit in the one window. It easily could since there's a lot of "white space" to play with. You should never have to scroll to see the rest of the graphic (navigational aides included) if the designer could have fit it all in to start with.

Remember that famous statistic--75% of users never bother to scroll on viewing a new page. They just click on out of there. (Who knows if that number is right, but it makes a good point).

Thnk you people, for you comments and suggetsions.

Umm how about the inside pages, and also the color scheme.

I'm running 800x600 and if I hide one of the toolbars on my browser I can see the entire globe. But I don't generally hide toolbars when surfing. And if you can fit it all on one page without forcing the user to take unnecessary actions then I think it's worth the redesign effort. I'm of the opinion that you always have to look at design in the eyes of the viewer.
