The Wanderfly home page is quite interesting. This home page is pretty much a big search form. I like the slider form elements, they are easy to use and you quickly understand how to use them in context. The other selection elements are fun to use as well, even if you have to slide back and fourth to see them all. It’s a little bit of a letdown that the rest of the site is all flash driven but the home page is not.
Understanding Mental Models for Better Web Design Practices
How can understanding mental models transform your web design process? These cognitive blueprints shape perceptions and decisions, leading to intuitive, user-centered designs.
The two first steps are well designed, but I find the result’s presentation of the search a bit too condensed and heavy.
It doesn’t really feel like a form, so I was a bit confused when I clicked on one of the boxes and nothing happened. I also noticed that the next page is 100% Flash, even though the home page is not.
