People still use browser resize! FUCK OFF!
- even more shocking are those who still complain about it..neue75_bold
- also shocking is the fact that browsers don't have an option to disable it, like pop-upsismith

" "fit for purpose", possibly the worst compliment you could make "
Oh do explain. I'd really love to know how anything being any more fit for its purpose or any less fit for its purpose can be better than being absolutely fit for its purpose.
- Mm, I was wondering this too.
Perhaps function really should follow form.detritus
- Mm, I was wondering this too.

ok, they have great work and I like that the site allows me to look at it first and foremost, with large images. Design wise its fine, simple, fit (as said) for purpose.
There are things I don't like about the interface though:
the bottom scrolly menu - this bugs me. First it has the top level projects, then I click one and the top level project choice is gone, replaced by the project images. I'm not thick and that threw me slightly. Once I'd figured it out, it just annoyed me that I had to go hunting again for interface choices which I had been given up front. I think they should have built a two tier system of some sort for this.
secondly on this, the scroll bar is buggy, every time I grab it and scroll to the side (which I have to do, because unlike any flash scrolling thumbnail nav worth its salt it does not detect that I'm at the end of the row and bump it along for me automatically) it doesn't release when I release my mouse button. this is infuriating if you are as impatient as me.
In relation to whether I like SEA, these are minor quibbles, in relation to whether I like their site they're pretty big for me actually. They stop it from being a nice site I like to use, its one I find myself fighting with.
I get annoyed with browser resizing as well, it takes over control of my experience, surprises me when I don't want to be surprised and is completely unnecessary for this site - why?
As for flash vs html, it doesn't bother me much, though I see no point in making it flash really.
- they should have next and back on the project images too, imho and a way to click the project images without entering the gallerykelpie

It is OK. Apart from the frustrating, unintuitive navigation

Great work, rubbish website! Bad usability, difficult navigation, and the user journey has far to many dead ends.
Shame.
- kelpie0
basically smacks of a site which has not been tested to me a bit
- Shaney0
browser resize thankfully didn't work for me (using chrome).
Tell a friend seems more important than useful navigation.
great work though

Fuck me, that Kelpie fellow has a liking for the sound of his own voice doesn't he.

Their work is beautiful, but I don't like having to dig around just to see a few projects. After poking about for a bit, I just closed the window and moved on. Very unintuitive site.

I found it fine, whoever doesn't find it fine is into specialist interest magazines and sheisse videos.

I need to make up for your generally taciturn nature Orbit.

navigation is clunky.
try clicking into an identity project and finding your way back to identity main.

Please for the love of God, don't resize my browser. That is so 2000 and late... Other than that, looks good.

Oh I do like to be beside the SEA site

I like a lot of SEAs work, but I have to agree that resizing my browser is not the done thing anything more. Whilst I don't feel as strongly as a few of you on here about it, I thought I'd send you guys a picture you can use if it crops up again...
