Gorgeous gorgeous site, but so hard to navigate. As I’m currently involved in website architecture and usability at work, I am increasingly bugged by ‘designer’ sites that hide or have no obvious navigation menu.
What’s the value of a website that can’t be browsed with ease? Users can’t get to the stunning graphics, the rocking animation, breathtaking photography… then what’s the point making them available online? It is hardly ‘available’ if one can’t get to it.

I think this one is not so hard to navigate…but the only thing bugged me is the loading time just taking too long…

I like to think most online users are more unforgiving and impatient than designers, developers and those of us making a living on creating websites. Books I read about web usability and consumer behaviors stress how easily users get distracted. In order to sell a product or having your point crossed, detail such as navigating around the site should be as effortless as possible.
Interesting subject. Thank you for sharing your thought on this shock!

I have to agree with Janet. This site is extremely difficult to navigate. If i can’t find a way to get around in a site in less than 5 seconds, i move to another site. I think this is yet another attempt by some website designers to make their sites look cool and yet totally forgot about the UI.
