This is a love-hate post.  I was at a birthday party this weekend chatting with a photographer who told me “you have to go see this site”.  She said this with such conviction, I knew I had to check it out.  My knee-jerk reaction was to censor the entire experience and chalk it up as a waste of time….. it starts out with a Flash pre-loader and the home page is fully Flash (no text for the search engines) and uses “mystery meat” navigation.  AAAACK!!!  These are some of the worst design offenses you can make with a site.  SHEEESH! 

Then ….. I started checking the site out.  Hang on folks — It’s fun, it’s fresh, it’s quirky, it’s easy to navigate, and it even looks like they have a great product.   Hmmmm, maybe I was too harsh before.  What’s for certain is Crumpler Bags is fearless and bold with their brand!

Go Ahead, Socialize ...
