Hi there,

Sorry if i'm mistaken but how come the people that entered SOTW for this week are not in the votes post? Only sigmastudio was voted for the rest of the names are wrong? Maybe you have a new way of doing it, sorry if i'm showing my ignorance.

Cheers

[KinnShady]

skidpanda: I was wondering the same,


I can't say that I understand... anybody?

[eyewake]

How are you Kirupaman, I was trying to find the winners but I don't know where to go, I'm pretty new in here.. :p

Sorry guys - I made a mistake. Let me find out where these results actually should go. Ignore the results information on the previous page please.

Cheers!

[kirupa]

This week's results have not yet been entered - I do apologize for this mishap :)

[skidpanda]

No problem :)

[eyewake]

Ok Kiru Let us know where you are going to post the results

[eyewake]

So Kirupaman are you going to post them or they rollover for next week?

[kirupa]

They will be posted in a few days; usually around Wed/Thurs. Of course, sigmastudio will not be included in the current voting because he is already a SOTW winner :) And the results I posted were meant to go in another thread, so there should be no overlapping of votes.

Cheers!

Good job to all the participants. One of the valuable aspects of SOTW is to get valuable feedback about your site and get an idea of how well it stands beside some of the best on the web. Check back later as mod critiques will be posted sometime tomorrow :)

Kiru i didn't get this post

I don't really like the color scheme used on this site, it isn't appealing to me. As for the layout, there's a lot of negative space all aroud the layout. If you're going to leave empty space behind then maybe adding some kind of pattern background would help.

The colors are too dark, I had to strain my eyes to see that lighter green on that darker gree, and the text on some of the backgrounds was hard to read because of the distracting backgrounds. Those color overlays you did (the buttons you click to change hue) didn't help much either, it just made things harder to see.

eyewake
It's been awhile since a well planned and well put together site has been submitted. I like this site, it's very clean with an interesting concept. The only grip I have with it is the space below the layout, it doesn't really serve any purpose.

Now this is nice. I love the crisp images, the color scheme, the transitions. I think this site functions well, serves it's purpose well, and has a refreshingly nice look to it.

Am I seeing a lot of blue lately? I like this site and all, but it has a few flaws: I don't like how the fighter jet continually moves back and forth when you keep your mouse over it (it generates that irritating sound everytime), when you click OPEN, it opens the sound panel like it should, but if you click it again, well, it opens again, the animation just loops; the link sound has this really annoying high-pitched ringing, the same sound clip plays for each content, and transitions are more or less the same. Next...

hubl
This site is nice as well, the layout is pretty sleek. The only problem I noticed is with the splash page. It's not as clean as the main layout.

Wow...from the moment I viewed the splash page, I knew this was gonna be a killer site. Pages load quickly, colors are a nice blend, transitions are top notch, will highly consider.

Nice clean colors and professional layout, but the transitions between sections seemed to lag big time on my computer, I think that was my biggest gripe with this site. In your links section you should have all your empty buttons not go to a URL, I didn't like how it went to your site and those rollOver colors in there are sonic, they seemed to be toned down in the other sections.


pixelpharm
This is probably done of the wierdest looking layouts I've seen in awhile. Although it is something different, which I like, this one isn't nicely put together. Everything doesn't have that professional feel to it. The mechanical sound effects doesn't match and the graphics are poor. It's a cool concept, but it still needs a lot of work. Also work on a color scheme and keep it consistent.

eh...ok, simple animations, that's good, but when it gets in the way of the content, then it becomes a problem. I don't want to have to sit through timelines of stuff just to find out what they do. sound is a little redundant. there's a link bug in the digital media page. on to the next...

Is this a contest for who can squeeze the most information into the smallest area? For that "What we do" section do I have to watch that whole animation all over again if I miss something? All the other sections were just textboxes with text that was crammed in there. I also don't think it looked too realistic on the screen, I didn't get the vibe that this actions was taking place on whatever monitor thing that was.

takashi0808
I'm not too fond of sites that have big text and buttons. The viewers aren't blind and plus it doesn't look too clean when you have huge text. The 3D work is cool, but the way the site is designed, it doesn't look too professional. This site also needs a consistent color scheme as well.

He seems really talented with what he does, though I don't like the embossiness of his site, looks mediocre. Some of his work seems pretty good, although he did use some content found on the forums (eg, EG's proton spinny thing). I didn't like the music all that much. I'd vote for this one for effort, if the other choices don't suffice my taste.

A double splash screen? What for? I'm not a big fan of the giant navigation buttons and the giant buttons with the "X"s in them, they were a bit distracting. Some sections too a real long time to load (like a delay before the loading happened) and your transitions were kind of slow.


toseproeski music
Very interesting layout, I like how some images have the effect of coming out of the layout. What I didn't like was the image quality, some of them are pixelated a bit and some of the text is blurry as well.

Okay site, might need a little work on the colors (i don't take kindly to the FFs anymore, in this case, 0x00FF00). Where's the content, is this just a site about him? I'm hoping this is unfinished, otherwise I wouldn't vote for it.

Interesting layout, I did like the effect of the pictures of the guy coming out of the layout, nice touch. The text in your hover captions and next and back buttons (if that is what they are, I do not read russian, but they went next and back through the galleries).

mistermarkos
I got 404 error page.

Wow, how many times have I seen a site like this on the net? All the links work, the colors are perfect, and I like the limited use of images on it. Congratulations Microsoft, I hate you.

This is HTML, how did this make it into SOTW voting? This site automatically gets turned down by me. Oh yeah, and I find it incredibly ignorant to exploit your site visitors and this SOTW award for your Outwar game (the pop-up that automatically gets you a hit in your outwar game).

Thanks to all the mods who provided their critiques, and I hope their critiques will help all of your sites improve for the better =)

Cheers!

[turkey]

thanks! i love to read the critiques because they give valuable insight on what to do and what not to do when making a site.

[eyewake]

kiru, thank you for the coments, you are right about the roll over noises. A lot of people told me that. Regarding the button space I just like it there cause it makes you wonder "why this guys has all this space here" just a design element, like when people uses tiny leters that you can even read. I'm going to improve the radio. Your comments have been really helpful. Thank you Kiru. Pass by and register at my forum, it would be a privilege have you as a memeber.

[kirupa]

Thanks eyewake, but the critiques were actually done by the other moderators. I am just the simple messenger :)
