flop.co.nz Review / Rant

The most difficult part of this review was actually finding the site after running across it earlier, I had given up after 20 minutes of googling only to find it again advertising on facebook.

After clicking on the facebook ad I was presented with a nice red screen for around 30 seconds while I waited for the most engaging and dynamic flash based site to load. Oh cant wait ...

Then suddenly flop.co.nz in all its awesomeness loads. I would have been very proud of this site if I had of built it, if I was 12 and it was 1992.

The navibar icon is simply a small blue arrow that gives you no indication of what it does untill you click it.

You have no idea of the prices of the items untill you click them.

You cannot highlight any text to do reasearch.

There is a nice banner which reads "You can use the same username and password to shop flop and 735pm !" wtf is 735pm?  why didnt you link to it ?

The big pixeld cammo background is insanly distracting.

When you click the flop icon every thing dissaperes. Why ?  People may accidentally click this and not realise how to get every thing back so there only option is to leave the site.

If I was to change the site I would dump the flash , the only reason I can think of to use flash is to provide rich interactive sites , clearly they missed the boat here and while I am not a coder I think all the features they have can be renderd in html with some  scriptaculous. Feature wise they should consider inplementing rss feeds and maybe a mailer, while  they may reduce daily page hits  it makes my life easier when you tell me what bargins you have in my morning email and rss checking. Rather than expecting me to check your site every day.

I would also suggest hiring a company that specialises in desgin to come up with something more unique than 9 squares.

Service wise , well I dont know becouse I will never oder a thing from a site like this despite how safe you tell me it is.

Drink and drive ?

Wouldn't it be great if a government decided to start shredding cars of drunk drivers. Bonus points if they played each shredding on the news.  Would definitely make people think again about drink driving.
