They use the same layout for many of the landing pages and it feels like you never leave home. At first I thought it was broken. Then I realized that they meant to do that. Overall interesting concept for a homepage but the animation is a bit buggy and the effect is overused throughout the site.

We really appreciate all the comments... so please check out Filterific v0.8 – it has just gone live.
We didn’t change the headline idea, as one is a headline and one is part of a sentence, but we have tried to accommodate as many changes/comments as we can in this version.
It is still not performing as smoothly as it should if you are using Internet Explorer - we are going to look at that next week... I am beginning to love Firefox and Chrome more and more each day :o)

THe reason it feels buggy is that the animation is moving into position at the same time as the whole page is scrolling... pretty smooth here however, and very nice.

i like the slider thing.

Quite cool - but a bit of a gimmick maybe?
- take away the slider widget, and what do you have left?lukus_W

Project detail pages are very dry, no images/videos of the projects.

Looks tasty - love the treatment of the header/feature area.
Not sure about the previously clicked on items stacking above the feature area though, made me think something had gone wrong.

only thing i don't like is that they've photshopped a 'hero' image as Leigh has said, i.e they're trying to sex up the project
- wth are you talking?spraycan
- Its a portfolio/blog in one... it needs some kind of hero images... we are testing the use of a non-Flash site.adrianbarrett

Um... "Lightmaker become an official Microsoft Surface partner" Yet, in your text, you say..."Lightmaker have become an official Microsoft Surface Partner."
So maybe add "have" to the title, or change "become" to "becomes".

btw what's so cool about using mootools ?
- Its a modular framework thats why we are using it i.e. you only need to load the parts you need. We are also testing it.adrianbarrett

Microsoft Surface, LOL.
Website is a massive improvement from the last but the last was really really horrible.

I like this, although buggy because it is doing something NEW. Not ground breaking or life changing but it's something I have not seen before.
