I love the speed of the Oyyo website out of Stockholm. The transitions are quick, and the site is neat and simple.
The Relentless Utility of McMaster-Carr’s Website
McMaster-Carr’s website proves that function beats flash. Built for speed and clarity, it’s a masterclass in no-nonsense design tailored to real users who just need things to work.
I do agree with the speed and simplicity but I felt particularly frustrated navigating the site. I felt I had no direction, perhaps that is because the cursor was pointer the majority of the time? Also, I had no idea what the purpose of the site was by viewing the home page, who the business was, or where I was supposed to go. Much to be applauded but much to be approved on in regards to UX.
Do you think the images being sort of abstract looking lead to your feeling that way? I felt like once I saw that they were rugs it all sort of came together.
