Does this style of website engage you?

emm... Some of the graphics are cool but I got lost!!

Too much going on..

You should stick with what's proven to work... Don't re-invent the
wheel until you really know the in's and outs!!

Woah, Thats really different.. I Think i really like the whole idea of it. definatly makes me want to scroll down

is the CEO a man or a women ?

That sure is different. I felt like I was being hit in the face with a wet kipper. Just too much going on for my tastes.

Well, The website is of TOTALLY NEW STYLE !!

But It will not engage your visitors for very long time because its TOOOO LONG !!

The graphics you used were stunning but can confuse your visitors at some point !!

That website is really cool. I like it a lot. There is a lot to read but its engaging.

It's definitely different than what I'm used to. But hey, that's probably a good thing. I gotta say that I like it.

I really like it, it shows what the business is all about and will really appeal to their target audience.

In fact I love it!!

I have high speed broad band and it took a while to load the 1st page. That is not a good sign. OK as for the color scheme I do not really go on cyan. It looks kind of sad to me. Hey, that said, people are not all the same. The idea is all in one page. Sadly, it loads slow and that is a major draw back for me. Jim, we wish all the best for you.

Too much "We" and just a couple "You"... kills it right there IMHO.

See, 95% of clients want to get confidence, testimonials, explanations about what they'll get (not CSS Jquery details) and something they relate too visually - thats why Amazon, Ebay or Google keep their act together visually: simple, plain and white. Then you have 5% of clients who LOVE visually compelling websites/cards/brochures/videos/teasers, don't care about testimonials (they understand you know your **** by what you just delivered to them) and are willing to give you work without a question: they understand you. But these are two distant approaches. Far distant.

This site is right in the middle: not a 95% targeted, and not a 5% targeted.

When dealing with customers for some years you'll see what I mean, unless something dramatic changes meanwhile.

Just to make clear - this isn't my site!!!

These guys are developers we are thinking about employing to build a site for us along the same style.

I like it and I don't see anything wrong with the scroll down style,
however I would have each section excessable through the tabs at the top of the page.

I must admit, I am really fussy when it comes to website design. So much so that I won't buy a product from a crappy looking site at all. I even have issues when it comes to things like membership site scripts. Most on the market are really ugly (Ameber ... just saying) and even though it has great functionality, I won't buy it. But, I do like that site and really like the icons and animation turnover things. It may be a little too cluttered with all the arrows, but the colour scheme and style is great.

However, do not take my opinion as typical. It's far from it...

Nope, I didn't like it at all.

If I am visiting a site I really like to have everything in front of me and see the links that point to different pages so it is easy to go where I want to go.

People's time is valuable, and I think that you will lose some visitors who are deterred by the fact that they have to scroll around to find what they are looking for.

That's just my opinion though!

I'm genuinely surprised by so much negative reaction to this type of site design.

To me it's very refreshing: scrolls like a salesletter, but doesn't look or feel anything like a conventional salesletter, nor even a conventional website for that matter. A noticeable absence of tabs or links. Everything there on one page & it's actually fun to go through it.

The overall style is pleasingly "retro" and almost has the look and feel of a 1960's business brochure. Each section is very informative -- well laid out, & gets straight to the point - yes it's a little busy, but I really don't see how anyone can get lost. The arrows lead you almost irresistably from one section down to the next adding a further sense of intrigue and fun (that word again!), helping to fuel interest with each transition.

There are a lot of nice little touches, such as the discovery that when you roll your mouse over certain elements they move or morph, which adds an amusing extra bit of panache.

I don't think it's even remotely "too long". Once you've parachuted to the bottom, which certainly doesn't take forever, you really do feel good about these guys. By which time you are confronted with just one simple, but very powerful, call to action. "Contact Us".

I like it, though it may not be for everyone. My age may be a factor - I'm 58 which could be why the retro feel appeals. It would seem that quite a few of the younger folks would beg to differ. Maybe the age of your target audience could be a deciding factor.

Of course the only real deciding factor is testing it for real!

It is a web design company showing off its web design skills. I personally think it makes it stand out from the crowd. However this kind of website is very visual and will not suit the majority of website types.

Wow, that is a VERY engaging site. And the cartoons, man, it's hard NOT to read a good comic strip! Your eyes just get so curious.

I can say without any doubt who I never saw a design like that.
But probably is to difficult to select the right place where to go.
I will delete all the arrows pointing down, at first, and then I will try to put links all in one place.

This is obviously my point of view. If I saw a difficult to surf website, I generally skip directly to the next one

Thanks and see you soon,

It's an interesting design but I personally feel that the page is a little too overloaded with graphics. Not too keen on the single page scroll style either -- I think having a page specifically for each category works better, but that's just me.

I really liked the site. It depends what kind of business it is, however, to pull it off. For example, the design fits in perfectly for a media firm (which the site in question is), but I wouldn't like such a design for a law firm.

Hmm...I did like it, until the third set of arrows or so, when it just got annoying.

I'm not sure I'd want to risk my customers becoming annoyed and going somewhere else, but I love the retro feel and the graphics. I'd just cut down on how many arrows there are.

Edit: I use a laptop most of the time. I tried it on my phone - it takes forever to get through it. It could be a big problem on mobile sites.

To me it comes across a little annoying and not user friendly. However, in that line of business, they are standing out by having a site like that. I would probably have worked more on the copy. In particular why you should go with that company over anyone else. Then revisit the design.

Maybe I am weird, but when I am looking through sites for designers I look first if they got their own visual communication going right, secondly if they are able to make a good case why they are the best people to hire for my job. Most designers usually only know the first bit, because selling is not taught in most graphics courses.

I like the website! definitely something different but if you were to ask for my opinion - I would remove those arrows. Its kinda distracting.

Aim for a faster loading site. Get rid of all of the arrows.

Wow it's intriguing to see the variety of reactions - you've got every extreme here, as well as the middle ground!

It just proves the point even more the the only way to know for sure is

your website is cool, I love your choice of color as well as the design. Very unique and clean. I should say that you've got a very creative designer. Well, just do some test to know what really works.

TEST IT!

Find a cheap outsourcing service and tell them to make a similar looking site. Then create a site with the same content with a PROVEN design.

Split test both of them in your niche and see which one is more effective.

Single page websites are great for the right product - actually they are better for campaigns or brand building. They are great for more lifestyle products in my opinion.

Whilst i say single pages are great - the example above is pretty poor.

Single page websites by the way are aimed at tablet audiences.

Here are a couple of great executions.

Awesome feedback guys. Gives us some suggestions to keep in mind if we move forward with this style of design.
