Interesting site design

Post by AbleMods » Fri Dec 12, 2008 12:17 pm

I don't exactly shop for shoes online, but my sister apparently does :)

She sent me this link and was curious if I could implement such an interface with my AC7 site. These guys have a very unique way of making visitors browse their site, so I thought I'd toss at the group here and see what your thoughts/opinions would be.

I must say I liked the initial "help" window that pops up on first-time visit. Nice touch, might just do that myself.

You think it uses some kind of "tag system" like blogs? I'd think that would be the way to do it and run custom searches on the shoe click to match the tags - color (red), style (casual/athletic) etc. This would also allow them to be handled from the admin side without requiring coding for every shoe?

On a window resize it shows more options etc - I have a huge monitor and it is really cool to just look at like 100 shoes to see if something grabs your eye.
