Website: CUH2A

Today I visited an architect firm website. This site gave me a headache trying to find the logic behind the navigation.
Those circles are Mystery Meat Navigation. It’s more like an online game rather like a corporation website. It stinks as an information resource. It’s important that you make the web easy for readers to see, at a glance, what topics are covered. (Parker, 2003) Luckily, they have a real menu at the top that suffers from poor contrast, but clicking on a link of this flash menu brings up a whole bunch of other links that have even less contrast.
Clicking on these submenu links doesn't give you consistent results. You may get new links that are Mystery Meat, or a new set of "regular links," or you may get content. It should be made easy for readers to jump ahead o the topics covered following a subhead. (Parker, 2003)
Design and architecture firms just don't know how to distill the selling points. It maybe is a kind of creative but it is overly complex navigation.
