Hey Guys,

As part of my 2nd year work at Lincoln University (UK) I have had to create a website in flash. The brief was labelled "Designing For The User", and as part of the project I need to get some feedback on the site. I would be most grateful if you could have a look and tell me what you think (preferably constructive criticism lol, but if you think its pants then you are free to say so! lol)

Here's my site, although not 100% finished (I'm still tweaking it here and there)

So if you would be as kind...

http://www.newmedia.lincoln.ac.uk/cwarcousins/the_box/index.htm

(Once on the site you want to be mainly looking at the LOST section as that’s what has the content in)

--The marking of the site is not content based; it’s based on the usability, interaction, user feedback, originality etc... This is why some areas are lacking content at the moment--

Regards,

Chris. ;)

It looks nice but the navigation isn't very clear. I got to the lost section and its like "What now?" then I figured out to click the menu button on the remote.

Thanks for the feedback, I have added a "help hint" to make it a little clearer.

Chris. ;)

i dont have no mac's
yea i didnt really know what buttons were clickable on the remote, and i had the same problem as benjamindaines with not knowing where to go. maybe have it go straight to the menu screen, like a DVD would do after a small intro...

i like the idea though!

but i dont like that law & order is not one of the shows you selected ;)....j/k
