Excellent site...

A New Warrior | Greenpeace

One of the better sites I've seen so far this year and a pretty great execution on the fund raising as well. You may or may not be a fan of Greenpeace, I don't particularly care, I just think they did a fantastic job on this site.

Got to say sites like this turn me off. You spend half the time trying to work out what to do on it. Flash should be for games and maybe banners and that's it.

that xray thing is pretty cool, and thats where my attention went to

Man, Goldman Sachs needs to hire these guys for a redesign.

 

[Jizzlobber]

Pretty cool. Checked out the live construction link. Shipbuilding - not a very green process.

 

[Roman Holiday]

I liked it. Cool full page video intro and then x-ray view on the actual site. The construction vid was sweet to watch as well, I watched it a couple times.

Yea probably should have saved some of that money they spent on the website to save the fish. You just know it was a ton of cash to design that.

Awesome site - and for the record, I donated for part of the main sail.

A bit difficult to navigate, yeah, but it's a pretty wicked idea that you can purchase specific parts for the ship.

really nice and wicked idea

Here we go...

Idea: 10/10
Execution: 1/10

Meh, I donated a little.

 

[Unarmed Gunman]

That game sucks. Couldn't even figure out how to shoot at the ship.

LOLz at the 'certificate of ownership' they send you once you donate.

I can imagine how many sad and lonely people would even print it out and hang it. I'm guessing a % will even hang it.

The irony of people printing out those certificates is not lost on me, but I love it from a marketing stand point.

Brb going to make an Acai product that comes with a certificate of ownership.

This is how you're supposed to copy the "million dollar homepage" idea.

this... freaking blows

 

[FrugalCopywrite]

I wonder if anybody has ever done a split test with a multimedia site like this and a more "traditional" site with standard copy that just looks good.

I'm starting to see more and more sites like this around, and the first thing I think of is a bunch of clueless execs siting around a boardroom table thinking, "Wow, this looks cool, therefore it will convert well!"

It's a cool site, but is it effective? (or more effective than a more traditional site trying to solicit donations?) I'm not convinced.

But, what do I know...

 

[-joe-]

Good idea, although I found it a bit annoying to navigate.

Not gonna donate though - last year I spent a short period of time in a greenpeace-run freezing cold communal shower with only washing up liquid as shower gel. Plus I had to wait two hours while being lectured.

:angryfire:

Yep agreed. Simple and clean will keep me coming back, not kickass flash intros
