Ugh, disagree. I detest the online-slideshow thing, and often wish people would just take their "slides" and put them on the same page and just let me scroll.

Ugh, disagree. I detest the online-slideshow thing, and often wish people would just take their "slides" and put them on the same page and just let me scroll.
Whenever I see someone doing a slideshow-type presentation, my immediate assumption is that they are just dragging me through the process so they can get more eyeballs for their advertising. (Cf. much of Cracked.com and other "Top x Lists".)
There are things that could be done to make the page more appealing, if you're not into the lowdef look that I think they're going for intentionally, but breaking it into multiple pages if it does't really have to be is just obnoxious.
- epi0Bauqu 16y agoYes, I wanted to keep the lowdef look, though I'm happy to entertain any design changes within that look.
- joakin 16y agoWhat about a scrolling format but more visually appealing? Something like benthebodyguard.com [1] In light colors avoiding the darkness but funnier to scroll [1] http://benthebodyguard.com/ http://benthebodyguard.com/
- potatolicious 16y agoI'm not sure if Ben the Bodyguard qualifies as "low-def". The problem with heavy designs like this is that they look great, but their efficacy is rarely ever supported by raw data.
- joakin 16y agoOk, fair opinion, but if you look at the google website, It doesnt look neither spammy nor disgusting (at least for the regular user (i think). Its clean, informative, and fun to use. Anyway, A/B test should give him the answer to which is the best way to aproach the Google non-techy crowd
