This page is completely unreadable due to the lagging custom scrolling they added. Just make a regular web page please.


These comments are irritating but so true. WTF! I waited for many seconds for the page to load, and now I have to wait 3 or 4 seconds every time I try and scroll.

Maybe this doesn't reflect on the company, but I feel if you can't even create a simple web page, then what the hell else are you going to struggle with along the journey?


What is the point of messing with scrolling behavior? Do people find this to be an improvement over the default?


It demos well when an agency shows it to a decision maker. Back in the day I used to use fine dining websites as a way to get clients to understand this dynamic. Lots of places would have a flash animation intro with music and images/video, etc. The owner loves this because the whole time they're thinking "this makes my place look so upscale and cool and desirable." Meanwhile, actual customers cared about location, menu, and hours being upfront and center without any bullshit. Thomas Keller never sold a single plate because he had an interstitial ad as the landing page on his website.


It's become an instant close of the website for me now. I can't stand it.
