Our comments:
"eclectic, cultural, and improvised, afewseconds.com is a glimpse into the lives of a few canadians on a mission" say the trio behind afewseconds.com. Elegant monochrome backgrounds each produced in a different color clearly separates sections from each other. The menu located on the upper-right corner is easy-to-use, looks nice, and changes color from section to section as the background changes.

Hannibal Smith (31) - Jun 3rd, 2002 Presentation  8 Graphics  8 Usability  7 Technical  7 Personal Slant  8 Overall 7.6 Great use of color and graphics. Each page is a beautiful splash of color that displays the site's content fluently. chubness (16) - Jun 3rd, 2002 Presentation  8 Graphics  7 Usability  3 Technical  3 Personal Slant  6 Overall 5.4 Really yellow...like the design....except the whole site is pictures!!!!!!!It took like 20 min to load considering I have a slow computer, and it's not interesting AT ALL.. SORRY :( Troddler (20) - Apr 3rd, 2002 Presentation  8 Graphics  7 Usability  6 Technical  6 Personal Slant  6 Overall 6.6 Not interesting but colors, colors... nikul (34) - Apr 1st, 2002 Good use of flash, rich design, but a general user can not understand, hope targetted audience understands it. all the best..! mykel (6) - Jan 7th, 2002 Love the design. Very clean. However, a lot of the text is actually images, which is bad for download time and search engine indexing. That aside, this site is definitely an inspiration. Fred (158) - May 14th, 2001 Good sort of graphics with a hue of yellow. Looks good faded into the background. A lot of yellow, could use a bit less, or a more variety of yellows all over. Text is a bit eye strain when reading, could improve by making text a different color, or making the background a lighter yellow. Clean and simple design, looks quite good.
