Gallery sites seem to be like buses lately. Nothing along for ages then three turn up all at the same time. I very much enjoyed visiting this site. The concept of the whole thing is really good and the makeovers they have done do improve on these famous sites. I am still looking for the perfect site and as such this is not it. There are some issues with CSS validation and also the English used throughout the site is not correct. It is of course a second language. For me this is a problem because the site is targeting English speakers. If there is money in the kitty then this would benefit from some native English copywriting. Apart from these issues I think this is one of the nicest designs I have seen in a long time.

A lot of great design is coming out of Eastern Europe at the moment. When I look at sites that have been submitted to the gallery for review it can be hard seeing the wood through the trees. I am happy to say that this one just popped out at me. The initial view of the site says this is something a little different. It is not breaking new grounds but what it does do it does well. It is well coded, clean in layout and well presented. Again this is a high contrast site and it seems to me that a lot of designers are favouring this style right now. The accessibility is not great. Some of the text is far too small and some of the contrasting colors a little too dark but having said that it does tick a lot of boxes. I was suprised to see that it passed validation as so many sites I view that say they validate, just don't. Validation is not the be all and end all but the closer to the standards we can get the better for the industry as a whole.

I am not a big fan of flash but when it is done well, it is done well. This is a site that just makes you want to click somewhere else to see what it does. It drives you insane trying to navigate around though and from a usability perspective this site has many shortcomings. I said I was not a big fan of flash and that is true but I am also not a great fan of dark background, high contrast sites. This site throws me though because even though it is flash based in the main and it is pretty dark I love it. This is something unique and for that I applaud you. Usability though needs some work.
