actually, contemporary deals with current time, and modern is a reference to a period of time (artistically anyhow).
I wouldn't even call it modern, I'd call it passed over(perhaps fad or trendy relate) or simply "2advanced" :)

"But macascoFL was grounding the comment on needing to follow other corporate guidelines (esthetic would be more accurate)".
To me, the core of what Macaso was 'trying' to say was simply that the design is inappropriate for the product marketed.
To say that a product not related to entertainment should be conservative - I disagree with as well.
But, again, I think his point was more that if a product isn't exciting then the design shouldn't be either. I would be more inclined to agree with this. I don't know if I do. Depends really.

I can see that only one or two members got my point, modern or contemporary, you must not look at the site from the designer point of view, yes, it's whack, just how another member described, but it lacks that credibility feeling all around, like the whole product were a scam!
I have seen more conservative corporate website that pleases a more broader audience, and no, I'm not talking about following a corporate site in specific, I'm talking about following the guidelines to make it more corporate.
Imagine a guy trying to sell a product geared to business professionals with a website like that...It spells disaster all over it!

It's slick, but the button hover animations are horrible. WHy does thsi takes sooooo long to load-up?

I like this better than some other shitty amazon-look site. It could do without the animations and intro! But all their clients are probably loaded, and this loads like a dream for them. This obvioulsy isn't going to sell to plane jane Macaso FL.

The problem most designers/developers have is that they dont seperate experience and information based sites. Their site as an example doesnt necessarily need to be an experience. Experience as in heavy flash and mass confusion. Nor does it have to be, as someone staed, like amazon or google. The thing is you need to give the visitor a sense of your style and through the client portfilio or case studies you see the style that they represent. Hierachy of information delivery was somewhat lost when the internet evolved. Print is all hiearchy. The influx of gamers, broadcast designers, and newbies didnt catch the fundamentals from the forfathers of information delivery. This is not a bad thing as we wouldnt be having kick ass experiments and engaging experience sites without this development. But there needs to be lessons taught to both sides. It isnt something that will happen this second... the internet is evolving so no worries on the future. Someone also made the comment that if the client likes it thats what matters. Its our job to educate. You may seem like a hardass but a simple education to the customer will ensure trust in what youre doing. Selling the concept that you are passing their information in the best way possible utilizinfg past experiences and visions of the current state of the web will give the customer a killer site that has process and you will be in turn doing a service to the development of the medium. I think I might have gone off on a tangient but I had something to say i guess. :)

Yuo need to rember that the people usuing the site are not designers, and haven't seen/been worn out by all the 2A kind of stuff... And if the company that this site is for is marketing there stuff in this way then it's simply their choice, andpossibly what they choose to do to differientiate themselves from others in their market.
A idea that is obviously unknown to many web designers and their own sites.
