This is one of the most absurd site designs I've seen in a while. I'm waiting many seconds at a time for the site to load images of attractive looking people doing glamorous things, while what I really want is to understand the utility value of their product. Now I'm annoyed and they come across as pretentious. Too bad. While this kind of gross presentation of product values happens once in a while, what made misfit really stand out is the fact someone really made a significant effort on that site. It's as beautiful as much as it's silly.
TL;DR when looking for a fitness tracker, don't bullshit me with pictures of people in suits
- ultimatedelman 13y agoi'm actually really impressed by the misfits site, but maybe that's the front end dev in me talking. they should be preloading images for the next step while you're looking at the current step, though.
- flyinglizard 13y agoTechnically and graphically it's really impressive, but it fails to fulfill its purpose. We should be impressed with the product, not the site design.
- ultimatedelman 13y agoof course, that's the intent of the site. i actually think it did a pretty good job of that. sure, it's displayed on pretty people, but those pictures do a pretty good job displaying the versatility of the product in how it can be worn and used. there's even a section that does an exploded view of the product so you can see what it's made of. after going through the whole site, i felt i understood it a lot better than the OP's link.
