This site has a shorter loading time than that I have looked at previously. This has a more traditional feel to its navigation with the side panel system in use, I feel this is much better when playing to a large audience in terms of usability. This is clearly the difference between a site that is aimed at an American audience and the previous sites that were aimed at Eastern audiences. As this will be my initial attempt at a flash site it might be a better way to go to have the navigation set out in this way.

This site of all the ones I have viewed seem to have the least visual flair and gimmicks. This page is more like the traditional type of site produced in HTML and CSS. The one thing I have noticed on this site is that there are what appears to be alt tags. These are not instant like those that appear usually however and they themselves have been designed to fit in with the style of the site which makes me wonder if they are actually alt tags that conform to the W3C guidelines. Obviously this is something that I will have to research afterwards.

With this site I find the layout the most confusing of all the sites so far and wouldn’t consider this to be a good piece of layout design although I do think the idea itself is very inventive. Again this site makes use of the traditional side panel layout but the reason for the confusion is the secondary layout within the page.

On this page I have noticed the longest loading time, if it wasn’t then the animation that accompanies the loading seems to make the load seem longer. The initial load unfortunately isn’t the end of it there are more load times within the page. As I have found this frustrating I will need to ensure I am conscious of this when creating my own pages.
