Some things I don't like about sites are when it takes ages to load and if they are so cluttered and busy. I like the black clean backgrounds of the documentary photo sites. I like when there are the small thumbnails of photos below a large view of one and that if you are on a little thumbnail it bounces to a slightly larger view or click on it to see the large view. The time factor of slow loading and clutter is a deterrent for me to wait to view. I also seem to like things centered and not moving here there and who knows where when you want to see it. I think when it is clean and simple and user friendly to everyone where you don't have to search to figure out how it works is appealing. If it doesn't fit well on the screen and you have to scroll to see the menu for gallery, home, contact etc I think that doesn't look right either. I will try to find other sites...

  1. I love the Adrien Boom site, its really beautiful! I love the way she has split her work into different categories in her portfolio section. It's a really simple website, but yet it has a lot of complex link usage! And not to mention her work is really unique and beautiful, thanks for sharing!
