SITE REVIEW: www.cortazartextual.com.ar

Well, here is another site for design review.

http://www.cortazartextual.com.ar

Original idea and design by my brother, the actual owner.

Thanks in advance.

well my first thought was "he spelt 'enter' wrong" I actually did - it's late and im tired

Anyway... It's a nice clean layout which looks quite sophisticated. The navigation is clear and easy to follow (well it looks it, I don't speak the language!). I like the aesthetic of the site

However, the site loads slow..... I don't know much about flash or if that is slowing things down, but I don't think flash is really neccesary for this application. The images do slow the download down. I took the image bio-1.png (11.8kB), loaded into fireworks and thirty seconds later had a 3.44kB jpeg, with no difference in quality.

If you can save that much filesize on all of the images then the site will load considerably quicker.

ok well i would review this site but i cant load it ???
anyone know why ???

lol @ rtm. Its really slow as rtm said. I also think that you could have done a lot the effects that you have got using HTML, The buttons for instance could be acheived using image roll overs.

The same applies with the banner, the only thing that needs to be flash is the signature. The rest could just be a gif.

I dont understand the language but i can see that its a very clean looking site and not to busy which is kind'ov a good thing.

Overall i would rate the design of the site 7/10, thats just coz i feel that it is missing that x factor that makes you take a shine to a site.

Well done

Tone

well i cant load the site cuz its such a slow site thats not a good thing

Thank you all!!

I'm passing the feedback to my brother.
