Re: FLASH: Barneys.com

[Sohrab Pirayesh]

Don't get me wrong,

but somethings just shouldn't be done in flash. I've always found that

e-commerce flash sites, are annoying, hard to navigate, slow, and

distracting. I don't need something to slowly fade in, if its gonna take an

additional 5 seconds of my time. There are other ways of making things

attractive and aetheticly pleasing.


however,

i do understand what their attempt was. They are trying to bring the joy of

shopping at the mall to the web and i commend them for it.


At this time, with the bandwidth's being what they are, and the web still in

its infancy, flash as a technology doesn't add anything to the ecommerce

website.


I love flash, but at this time we only recommend it to clients looking for a

company site, a marketing commercial or sales presentaion, or if it truly

has a functionality purpose like teh site for the teh school for blind

children.


my 2 cents,
