Yeah, usability sucks...

"TURN UP YOUR VOLUME OR USE HEADPHONES"

2004 called, and wants its 2Advanced clone back...

Epilepsy Warning.

Normally the awwwards sites are fine, but this is a disaster... :/ Too many things moving way too fast simultaneously. My eyes hurt after a minute of clicking through the site.

I can at least use the site, some others don't. The developers should look into the concept of progressive enhancement. Plus, all of their content is inaccessible, because its all rendered in a single <canvas> Element.

I would almost go as far, as to say that this website is everything that modern web development shouldn't produce...

sad, that something like this gets rewarded. And to the visual style - I have a book here, called "the web design index". The book is from 2009. This page looks very similar to all those flash sites that are in there...

Reminds me of the Flash website area in special the 2advanced.com pages or derbauer.com. Just effects, show off, but totally useless. They do it because they can but it doesn't mean it is good. There are always people/designers who understand themselfs as artists and not as designers. And here we have the results. I know an design agency who drives like the same, they have many red dot awards because they sit sometimes in the jury so they have connections. They have so many red dot awards they lay them on the floor in their meeting room. They wanted that we develop a webpage for a client of them. They showed us their design they wanted crazy things transitions animations all over the place but wanted to pay nearly nothing, we declined. They did it with somebody else and it was very confusing to use really artitsty. This is the site i am talking about: http://serien.com/home/

I hate sites like that because nobody can use this s..t.

It's literally unusable when you open it in chrome, and it still tells you to open in chrome. Awwwards seems like a joke most of the time. pretty sites that function horribly

Maybe they base the score on the amount of things that move around

Same goes for 90% of websites on AWWW. It's absurd. I just treat AWWW as a showcase of whats possible front end dev wise.

When you grow up on Playstation and 2Advanced

How can "something" win website of the day, when it renders only in one browser. This must be a joke.

5.8 is the amount of seconds you spend waiting for it to load before you close it.

Thank you for showing the site. It's the best place to get epilepsy.

I only see a black screen no content at all. A bunch of javascript errors. Tried on chrome, firefox, and safari

As an Awwwards Judge i don't know why this website is SOTD. The usability defiantly sucks and this website shouldn't be SOTD.

That gave me a seizure!

Awful - absolutely nothing loaded for me except for some awful sounds.. Chrome on Mac. http://d.pr/i/ur09

I guess as long as the people giving out awards can use it that's all that matters.

Aside from the performance issues, what really urks me about this site, and this approach of using Canvas/WebGL for everything, is the lack of accessibility support. It misunderstands the medium, and I'm quite honestly not really how you'd get around the SEO hit you'd take with the approach. Also, the mystery meat interface approach. There's so many various ways to interact with the site (provided you don't need assistance) and none of them are really intuitive.

I also really disapprove of not having a mobile compatible site in 2016. It really isn't good enough to say "coming soon."

I hate preloaders

It took more than 5 seconds to load for me, closed it before seeing anything, got bored.
