I don't normally pick on the design of sites submitted, but people in glass houses...
As soon as I scroll down a little the header changes and the entire first paragraph disappears behind it. It's very jarring and it's actually making it difficult to read. I'm sure it seemed like a cool idea, but design has to play second fiddle to functionality: It doesn't matter how fancy the design is if the product cannot perform its function.
A similar poor choice between shiny visuals and functionality has torpedo'd their redesign of the slides. They aren't the prettiest but I can very easily read the original charts. The new design massively reduces the contrast between text and background and makes the axis labels much smaller and a lighter font weight to boot. The result is very difficult to read.
- EmilandDC 12y agoYou can take a look at the full-size slides here : http://fr.slideshare.net/EmilandDC/kpcb-internet-trends-2014-redesigned-slideshare-version http://fr.slideshare.net/EmilandDC/kpcb-internet-trends-2014... The screenshots on the article are a bit small to get all the information at once.
- jmuyskens 12y agoThe scrolling bothered me too, but it's not technically their fault. I paused ad blocking, and sure enough there's supposed to be a banner before the headline. With ads displayed it works more or less seamlessly (though it still is a bit distracting).
- ZoFreX 12y agoWhoops - I feel bad for complaining now, as you say it works without Ad Blocker.
