The site’s entry board is a flash based animation of a person with a pumpkin for a head taking their dog for a walk, but the weird part is the random Bee that buzzes by…eerie. Aimee Bender is the author of several notable books. Her most recognized work is the short story book title “The Girl in the Flammable Skirt.” This is also the title she uses for her personal website. She has also published several other books including “An Invisible Sign of my Own,” and “Willful Creatures.”
Upon entering her site the user finds it to be completely flashed based with very rudimentary animations depicting the different area within the web page that you can address and explore. When entering a section of the site an access bar appears at the top of the page depicting all the other sections of her site. There is no search bar, but the reader does have access to her interviews, links, exercises, and news. Visitors to the site are encouraged to sign the guest book and read a short Biography about the author.
Using only flash as the sites multimedia browser is energetic looking but not very creative. It also limits the accessibility for the inexperienced reader and looks tedious after three clicks.
