Moxiecode

I used to provide more examples of sites that I thought were well designed, and that I liked the look and feel. Those started to move to link-fu, but I’m moving them back. I like being critical, and this way I can blather about the design as much as I like. It’s pretty much about self-indulgance.

I ran across moxiecode.com today, and thought I’d share it with you all. I like this site.

I love the numbering of the headers. Even the treatment of the numbers, with the black half-curves are nice and bold.

I also like the degredation of the content-importance down the page. It’s a one-two-three level approach. (Although I’d have put the graphic on the one or two level areas, rather than the three level.)

CONS: I almost like the colors. The black, light grays and blue are nice. The green doesn’t work with it. I think it’s the blue and green that don’t play together.

I also think the nav is too small. The titles and numbers should also be links, rather than just the read more. In fact, why is read more the only links on this page (outside the nav?)

Once you move inside the site, the navigation gets worse I feel. There is no sense of location.

But overall I like the design of the site. I think most of my objections are more in terms of using the site.
