THE NUR.
My personal art n design portfolio. Hi to everyone, i'm a digital artist and designer.

Check out this All Flash site n u Flash designers gimme suggestion on how to improve its poor nav. I've spent all efforts on the graphic impact but i know navigation is terrible, something like "mysteryous"...

I'm redesigning all the site after 20 days from its launch and your suggestions will be fundamental. Thanks to all the designer will reply to this thread.

You need to label things. Tell people, in words, where they are and where they're going. I get to the first page - the splash page - and all I see is that star design - no words to tell me where I am.

When I enter the site I get a 1024 x 768 pop-up window that is located partially off the screen (so I have to move it so I can see the whole thing). What if I was browsing at 800 x 600?

Now I'm into the main site, and I see three graphics on the right side that seem to be links, but I have no idea where they'll take me. I click on the bottom one but nothing seems to be happening, then after awhile a "links" button comes up. Then I click on links and am told to "plz wait"... Finally! Some content! There are headings there in a weird font that I can hardly read.

In short, you really need to make this more user friendly. Read up on usability. Jakob Neilsen's archive at http://www.useit.com should be helpful. As I said above - let people know where your links are sending them!

The flash loads, but the text and graphics keep jumping around so I can't read it.

When I click on ABOUT:
the links at the bottom are too close together - for a minute I thought it was a sentance.

when I click on news that's where the text and graphics are jumping around. Info does the same thing. When I click on the back arrow the stuff that's one the page stays there - it feels like it shouldn't.

When I click on ART:
the links once again are too close together.

When I click on GROWTH:
the links are too close together.

when I got to contact the text and graphics are jumping around too much.

same thing with links.

I really like the overall look of the site, but there are a few navigational issues that are making it difficult to get around. I also like the flash, but all the jumping around hurts my eyes and I just can't read the text.
