The site served its purpose, delivering information to the users. There is a hint or two in the site that suggests its for wine enthusiasts but it still lacked character and branding. There is no omph factor.
The navigation doesnt work for me. At first glance, I wouldnt event notice that there is a navigation. It is a bit distracting also for mobile users as it is overlapping with the body content. The logo is also not clickable.
The heading animation tends to be irritating after a few pages in the site.
Overall, the site seems buggy and not tested properly. For someone who is not that tech savvy, it can be frustrating for them to navigate around the site using their mobile phones.

Hi Daniel,
Trying to make the navigation not noticable is bad practice. That is the second thing the user usually find after skimming through the page. If I can't find my way around the website, I will hot the close button. At first, I thought it was a bug.
It's the main header at each page that slides from right to left at every page load.
The logo is clickable is you doing scroll down. Try scrolling down then scroll all the way back up. Then click the logo.
Bugs
- navigation is overlapping content on mobile and desktop
- logo is not clickable after being scrolled
Hello,
Thanks for the review; although you mention positive and negative aspects, it's good to get an external look on things. I'm actually glad you didn't notice the navigation right away; it is meant to not attract attention. Did it make you dive into the content more?
What do you mean with the heading animation?
The logo is in fact clickable, as I also mentioned to your colleague reviewer — just not on the home page since you are already there. But for consistency's sake I've just added the link there too.
Could you be more specific about 'buggy'? We did test on several devices and conditions, but of course it is tough to catch everything. Please let me know if you found something specific.
Cheers
Daniel
