I guess I'm the outlier, but I think this page is trying too hard. It turns me off because it seems fake, sugary sweet, attempting to be cute for the sake of being cute. The bios barely say anything of value about the people; they're idealized descriptions of what the perfect person for each job would be. I do think it's nice visually, but the length of the page annoys me.
Very engaging. A good design with decent writing made me enjoy reading the entire thing (and made me want to). I'll definitely save this page in my list of examples of great web page designs.
It's so great to see Valve sticking with this franchise. I've had a lot of fun with Team Fortress 2, and I'm really looking forward to this new loadout of classes and the bold new visual style this is exploring. I can't wait to play nerd-on-artist matchups!
In case anyone's wondering, Wunderlist is written in HTML/JS/CSS using Appcelerator's Titanium Desktop packaging tool to make it native using the WebKit framework.<p>You can check out their source inside the app package. Pretty neat stuff. Pretty clean coding.
I actually like their team page. I think it's well done overall Funny, the one issue that bothers me about it is how their social media buttons column along the far left edge are intentionally placed partially cropped off the page. Looks like the page width doesn't fit in the browser even though its intentional in there design. Looks fine when you hover over but otherwise..<p>On a different note I think this is a clever team page that brings levity and keeps you on the page longer: hover over the avatar photos <a href="http://www.walltowall.com/3/about" rel="nofollow">http://www.walltowall.com/3/about</a>
I do like the blue "script" font. Does anyone know the name of it?<p>Nevermind, I've found it. For anyone interested: It's Journal by Fontourist.<p><a href="http://www.dafont.com/font.php?file=journal&page=1&nb_ppp_old=50&text=we+think+its+time+for+a+change!&nb_ppp=50&psize=m&classt=alpha" rel="nofollow">http://www.dafont.com/font.php?file=journal&page=1&n...</a>
It took me a minute to remember where this was, but I always thought this was a great "team" page: <a href="http://www.tamtam.nl/people.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.tamtam.nl/people.aspx</a><p>Most of the individuals have a looping video if you click on them. Gives you a better idea on personality, yet doesn't take anything away from the experience.
I can only imagine the effort that has gone into making that page look so clean and engaging.<p>Their first app[1] looks beautiful too. I should give it a try.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.6wunderkinder.com/wunderlist/" rel="nofollow">http://www.6wunderkinder.com/wunderlist/</a>
I think the page is gorgeous, and as jjcm put it, very engaging. I understand where a few are coming from with the "tries too hard" objection but isn't "doesn't try hard enough" a greater offense? At least these guys give us something to talk about. I guess I'm just so tired of the characteristic uninspired About Us that I find this refreshing, if a little cutesy.<p>Also, anyone notice The Assistant's copy of Founders at Work?
this reminds me very much of the thread about compulsory high fives at linkedin:<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1422422" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1422422</a>
Sure beats Apple's page<p><a href="http://www.apple.com/pr/bios/" rel="nofollow">http://www.apple.com/pr/bios/</a><p>As well as Tapulous' (which I thought was pretty good until now)<p><a href="http://tapulous.com/team/" rel="nofollow">http://tapulous.com/team/</a>
