i think the site is shit hot
would agree with canuck tho cos usability needs sorting out in several different areas but love the concept and definately unique

It's lovely really lovely, good animation great gfx etc. but I really would have liked an animation to go back as well!!!! I take it time was upon you. In my opinion it really brings it down.
Apart from that I like it.

Too much effort is required to figure out who this company is, what they do, it's very well done and animated well, but it's not informative enough or easy enough to use for the average internet user.

What is it with you Eastern Europeans and these over-CG'd websites?
OK, so some of it's quite fancy - but what purpose do the over-developed graphics and strange interface serve? The end-result, as far as I can tell, bears no resemblance to the kind of client work you've completed, so who's this for? Given your typical work, are you sure you're not out-selling yourselves? Putting off genuine customers? Could you really compete a site like this to a customer's picky requirements, in-time and in-budget? The diagram of your development path infers you do everything in one cycle, so I'm guessing not.
Early on, I saw Usability terminology thrown up - who for? I'm no Jakob Nielsen, but your onanistic interpretation of usability bears no resemblance to that of anyone else who makes supposedly usable websites.
I think this is just another CG artist's wankfest.
Also, I'm be curious to know just how well your Small Ad brands compete against incumbents like eBay, Gumtree and - mainly - all the regional UK newspapers. Fair enough, you've got some good domains there - but do you have the staff to admin, the will to deliver a good service to your customers? Or are you just grabbing search engine advertising real estate?
Although, I am fucking loving the 'how to deploy Python' video material - that shit's cracking me up.
Sorry, this just isn't my bag at all - it's like you've thrown a couple of (admittedly pretty talented) teenage Photoshop hacks into a cellar with a month's supply of Coca-cola and Doritos and said 'make me something cool', but without any further thought than that.

i'm with nairn on this one. i'm no wiser after nearly 5 minutes on your site as to what it is that you actually do, apart from some lip service to usability that you don't actually appear to ascribe to.
sure, it looks great and all, but somewhere there's a massive disconnect. if i understand correctly, you build classified sites about kitten-swapping or some such. if that's the case, i reckon your target audience (and their mothers) are gonna be lost in this site.

One more thing - whilst I think the graphics in the other sections, and the overall movement is quite snazz, the London section pisses me off.
The perspective's all over the shop, the mix of illustrative, photographed and photoshop elements is awkward and.. horror upon horrors, the geography is completely wrong! I mean, no one outside of London will get that, I'm sure, but it jars all the same.
On all sections, I think I'd appreciate the over-complex graphics more if I could do something with them - there's no interaction, right? Nothing I can prod or click and get animations or sound?
All the graphics are too desaturated(Russia aside) - I mean, I appreciate that it makes it easier to get the disparate elements to stitch together in Photoshop, but it'd be nice if you put some colour back in after you've composed the scenes. I get that Victorian London might look dreary and drab - but 70's Paris? Contemporary Barcelona should be beaming with luscious orange rays!

I like the animation its dope, think its a bit over-designed though. Check the alpha/edge on the moon/clouds in one of those sections...I can see the edge of the video...good job man.

fucking terrible... after effects transitions jump out of the frame? WTF

the cruising car in the customers section is a little small.

when you click on a poster, maybe the poster should animate out before the large version animates in.

A little hard to tell what's what. I was just clicking random posters to see what they were.
