This site wasn't english but i still knew what i was doing for the most part.
It was a very clean layout, the menu to select whether you wanted to view the personal or professional work was hidden away in the top right and the fullscreen in the bottom left.
Nothing interferes with the photography!
Even the captions for the photography need to be clicked on to be seen (there's a little plus sign on the right).
When you select a section you are given thumbnails to view and slightly larger ones when they load so you can see if you actually want to see it before you wait for it. It's a very user-friendly design. The transition animation isn't overly complex so it doesnt really lag when the piles of images behind the sections scatter. Flash can definately add to the user experience as long as their computer can handle it.
Keeping two seperate sections for paid and personal work is a good way to present both what you love to do and what you are capable of doing. As sometimes paid work doesnt give the necessary freedom or expression for the photographer.
This was a well-built, clean portfolio.

This site opens with a loader that says, "ok, were loading stuff", That mild humour helped be to actually wait it out! Although it was a slow load its a great site if your looking to buy a unique bag, backpack, suitcase, or purse.
The main interface is extremely simple, you can arrange all the product by price, alphabetically or even search for a specific color, keyword or product name. These features make finding what you want fast and easy. Its layout was apparently based on a japanese vending machine and we all now how hard vending machines are to operate. When you click to see the next set of bags it isnt just a static picture of the bags, they all slide sideways and bounce to a stop, giving it a funner interface. I like the seamless page skipping, its a nice change from the typical static catalogue. When you click on an item it drops down as it would in a vending machine then you can see it larger with details, color options, specs and even reviews on the next screen.
The menu is clever how when you roll over it it fades the rest of the screen out so you can easily focus on it. The store finder was simple and detailed, checkout felt secure, training videos were somewhat amusing and sound was optional so i didnt have to go and turn it off, it was the other way around. They also included links to articles about them and events they sponsored.
I thought this was probably the easiest online shop to shop, you dont even have to scroll one thing.
