New site from Build.

Damn. That's a lot of text.

and damn each page takes a while to load what is not a very nice background image

work is good...
but the abrasive white type on top of every image detracts from the work. Loading is also slow.

not a fan of this new version. the load times are pretty slow, and the copy is very difficult to read on many sections.
i prefer the last version by all accounts. it was just much more fluid.

Work is nice (if you know how to uncover it) but site kinda fails.
Can't see the work because the text is over it. Can't read the text because there are pics behind it (some pics even have text on it).
Think that maybe the 'Show/Hide' text should default to 'Hide' instead.... and maybe 'Show' after a certain amount of time passes of not interacting or highlight it somehow so the user would know to click it. Having all of that text appear all of a sudden is like having a lap dance with a hot chick and finding out that she's a tranny when her ass is in your face.
I'm also getting horizontal and vertical scroll bars in FF when there probably shouldn't be.

Great work (of course).
Site loads slow, there is way too much text, and the navigation is kind of out of whack.

agreed. so much text with no hierarchy

I really like it. The depth of spacing between expanded nav and main body content could be a little larger, just to give the eye an anchor point on pages with a light background, other than that - a logical development for their style. Nice'un.
Really like the Vision Training logo.. not so much the accompanying blue and white rounded sans serif material

nice work, rubbish site, noticed it does work faster if you use the keyboard to navigate NAWTY

Painful

what are you guys whining about its pretty ease to use and all portfolio material is full screen.

beautiful work - hide button is pretty obvious for removing text.
this is so nice - kind of wrong in a right way.

I like it. I think it should default to the hide option with an obvious 'show info' tab. Would make it easier for my brain to digest.

The one Digital Club designed was much better

Make the arrows clickable too... I'm instinctively clicking them

I'm truly shocked there's not more anti-Build sentiment in this thread. The true haters must wake up after 10AM PST.
That said, I'm not really digging this sit too much (did I wake up too early?). Build's body of print work is absolutely amazing to me. And while I think this site looks nice, I do not like the overall aesthetics of it. Long lines of type that span the entire browser window are not an easy read, so I found myself not reading it at all; and since I didn't read it, I never saw the Hide/Show at the end of the copy until I read through this thread – then when I do click Hide/Show, the transition is clunky and inhibited (I agree that the default should be 'Hide' with a Show option). I don't like how the main nav is insanely minimalistic to the point that it's the exact same format as the body copy, with the exception of line-height maybe. And yes, please make the arrows clickable.

i like it

to paraphrae a recent thread I opened about Sagmeister's godawful site "who needs a cool website with an amazing body of work".
I disagree with this sentiment and do kind of like the site but yep it does have a few issues - needs smoother javascript work.
