This site is so nice it made me a bit angry
Callum Hopkins, almost 7 years ago I stay awake at night trying to work out how they did the animations...

It’s visually pleasing but not sure about the usability.
Russ Brown, almost 7 years ago
Come on dude.
Not frontin, solid concern.
James Young, almost 7 years ago What exactly do you mean? It's a simple site with about 6 pages, a clearly defined navigation and no content hidden away behind anything.
Be curious to know what sort of usability issues it has.
First of all, try to navigate through screen reader.
A web studio with such focus on visual appeal could squeeze remaining 5% and implement that too. Not semantic nav button, has no tab-index nor it’s a native focus element.
Second, it does scroll jack content on subpages. I’d prefer more content and less shenanigans on sub pages.
Third, I cannot go to another route unless animation is finished. Clicks are prevented.
To you and Russ Brown, this website is visually appealing without any doubt. If it’s main goal is to impress clients, it surely can. However, if all it takes to impress this community is some SVG animation, I should reconsider writing comments like this.
Ok mate.
Given its a creative web studio, I think its safe to say its sole aim is to impress clients. Clients tend to not be as impressed with talk of semantic html as they do absolutely beautiful animations. Thats not to say those things aren't important but for a studio selling their services to 'normals' its a smart move.
Putting all that aside, lighten up! Everything is not a usability study. taking snide shots at commenters who are appreciating someones work, is that really you?

What are you talking about?
taking snide shots at commenters
Just because you take personal offense to someone disagreeing with your opinion doesn't mean they are taking snide shots at you. If anyone needs to lighten up, it's you.
I didn't take any offence at anyone, nor did I ever really share an opinion, I was talking about this comment:
"However, if all it takes to impress this community is some SVG animation, I should reconsider writing comments like this."
all good?
Florian Schulz, almost 7 years ago After Effects meets HTML. <3
Phil Smith, almost 7 years ago Those animations are lickable!
Joel Sinnott, almost 7 years ago I let out an audible "hell yeah!". I cant think of any other site that has made me do that, so you got that going for you.
Darrell Moore, almost 7 years ago
Well shit, I'm impressed.
Mattan Ingram, almost 7 years ago
All the animations were super smooth on my phone, very impressive.
Adam Brace, almost 7 years ago Dang, those animations
Santiago Baigorria, almost 7 years ago
Bastien, are you the developer behind this unique craft?
Bastien Wilmotte, almost 7 years ago
Nope! :D

Here is a quick deconstruction of the site if anyone is interested.

Used plugins
Most of the effects are created in After Effects and exported to SVG/JS animations. Some of the animations are hand-coded using GreenSock.
Michael Sacca, almost 7 years ago
I'd hire 'em.
Jimmy Hooker, almost 7 years ago
This is visually stunning. It's like an experience.

What a brilliantly put together site, so much great animation in there. Must of seen some serous man hours to get this done!
Darko Krstevski, almost 7 years ago
That process section gave me goosebumps.
Matt Basham, almost 7 years ago
Feels like a modern day 2advanced Studios (which I loved back in the day).
Andrew Ciobanasiu, almost 7 years ago
Fucking amazing. Top to bottom.
Geoff Yuen, almost 7 years ago
Wow. I wonder how long this took to develop.
Vincent Milliken, almost 7 years ago
Damn son, site is nice!
Oguzcan Sahin, almost 7 years ago great job.
Geffrey van der Bos, almost 7 years ago
Oh my. That is beautiful.
