I am more and more gravitating to like sites that aren’t all squares and rectangles. I dislike flash in web design for the most part (perhaps with the exception of using it for advanced navigation buttons or something more simple). Coder’s working with images and CSS are starting to break the rectangle mode with more and more frequency. Here is just one example I happened on today: http://offshoretechnolabs.com/. In the current design, they use white and some lightening like bolts to break the mold. Notice also that the tab buttons and the right navigation background appear to not be simple rectangles with 90 degree corners.
Our site is of course … very square. Should we redesign it? It is functional as is … so is it worth the time. Those are today’s questions.
