Obligatory scroll-hijacking comment.

Very pretty. Minimal and clean.
But, I hate the scroll hijacking. Try to scroll down and stop at the last H (american express for me) before you're taken to the full page. It just slides right by for me on my Macbook trackpad.
But, you have to remember Huge didn't design this site to be the most usable. They designed it to impress decision makers at Fortune 500 companies who will sign multi-million dollar contracts with them.
Lance Gutin, almost 10 years ago I see Teehan Lax parallels. http://www.teehanlax.com/

Teehan made it even better. The only thing that sort out in that menu is maybe the hamburger icon animation, which is not new at all (Codrops did it some months ago http://tympanus.net/Development/AnimatedSVGIcons/ ). Originality is clearly lacking on some elements.

The hover states on the timezones in the About Us section are lovely. A really nice touch.

Very reminiscent of the new Big Spaceship site in terms of use of imagery, layout, overall interaction.
I really enjoy this trend of blurring mobile and desktop layouts—points to a brighter, more flexible future for web design IMO.
Could definitely work on load times and image optimization though.
Alex Gennette, almost 10 years ago
Wow that menu system is almost identical… interesting.

The huge site has been in the works for a while. The Bigspaceship site only launched recently. I can assure it was designed before anyone knew about the bigspaceship site. It does have a full screen takeover menu but that's not exactly new.
To be clear, I wasn't implying that this was a rip-off; it was more of a commentary on the popularization of these kinds of layouts and navigation systems. I think it's really lovely.

It looks extremely similar to the Odopod too. (Once you get past the scrolly stuff).
Temi A, almost 10 years ago
I thought the same thing too.

This is great, love the treatment of the "H" to show different case studies.
Alex Martinez, almost 10 years ago
Love the first reason to work there: "Get paid for giving a shit."
Also, while I'm not fan of the scroll-hijacking on desktop, on iPhone the revealing effect as you drag is so slick.

Nailed it. Looks incredible on retina display. Might be some resizing issues on smaller viewports though.
Kyle Mitchell, almost 10 years ago
stop hijacking my scroll!
Adam Brace, almost 10 years ago This site looks fantastic on large displays, refreshing to see agencies embracing screens beyond laptop screens
Sabrina Majeed, almost 10 years ago
Agreed, it's really playing to the demographic of designers/office employees.
Adam Brace, almost 10 years ago Its also good future proofing, there may come a time where the average site user is using the web on TV screens also.
Matt Hall, almost 10 years ago
I like the smaller details. Like the menu icon morphing into a cross and the local times under each office location.
Scrolling on mobile is a very sluggish though.
Casey Cavanagh, almost 10 years ago
It looks pretty amazing on retina. Just sayin'
ポール ウェッブ, almost 10 years ago
Ooh I'm so jealous!
James Young, almost 10 years ago It's interesting that it's effectively a "mobile" site at all screen sizes.
Really love their work and style, one of my favourite agencies.
Jim Silverman, almost 10 years ago
so, uh. they're claiming the letter H as their logo? bold move.
Sarah Parmenter, almost 10 years ago
Very close in design and feel to Teehan & Lax.
Jan Cantor, almost 10 years ago
Traffic overload. Site is down.
Adam W, almost 10 years ago
I am a big fan of this navigation trend
Per V, almost 10 years ago
I really like their new site, and Huge seems like a super fun place to work at.
Dan Sullivan, almost 10 years ago
Did they really trademark the phrase "Make something you love" ? Pretty blatant rip off from Brooklyn Beta...
Huge has been around longer than Brooklyn Beta.
Right, but this trademarked tagline has not.
Account deleted almost 10 years ago The only thing I thought was weird at first glance was how the sections have "play buttons" on the top videos... that just go ahead and play anyways (with the button still floating on top). Just kill the play button up there.
Derryl Carter, almost 10 years ago
But yeah, overall the site is very attractive and well-executed.
Also... LOL at their article on Responsive Design going all loco when the window is small :-x
Awesome.
José Delgado, almost 10 years ago
I get a 404. Is everything working OK for you guys?
Aaron R, almost 10 years ago
Yeah it all works for me
Charlie Pratt, almost 10 years ago
You jokers are hogging the bandwidth.
Al Haigh, almost 10 years ago
It's totally fux0rd (as one might say)
Murat Mutlu, almost 10 years ago
Love it!
