Nyxen.net is the interactive portfolio of Benjamin David, considered chef of the multimedia realm. His site is organized, well collected, and features attractive navigation. Below we will try to cover a few points defining the way this site works.

Attractive Navigation & Brand

Nyxen.net brings easy navigation to the table with a hint of attractiveness. This allows for its users to horizontally scroll through the entire site. Large easy-to-find buttons are a plus, and the fonts used are classy.

Another eye-catching feature is the navigation within the resume area. It’s as if it were another site within the main site. It adds creativity and uniqueness to the brand.

The actual logo is simple, yet definitive, and straight to the point. A logo that’s driven by cloudy purpose is meant to falter on its own. This logo isn’t the most creative, however it blends well with the overall design and purpose of the site.

Portfolio

The portfolio area is very organized displaying a simple structure. Each work is sectioned off and identified correctly. Upon mouse over the specified work lightens up and if selected you’re immediately taken to that project’s corresponding page. My first impression of the portfolio was that it was powered by lightbox, however to my surprise this wasn’t the case.

Overview

Nyxen.net is an overall well collected site that features the use of technology such as Ajax, JavaScript and more. From he way it interacts with its visitors to the User Interface design you can say that this site is clear, usable, and concise.

  • That's a nice website that we have here ! as Damian says, it's easy to navigate here ! That's really appreciated =} Easy, and efficient ! Good job : )
  • Great design, you'd think the entire site is flash. It had a great navigation and is easy to use. Browsing his work was a breeze.

    I like the logo and how he consistently uses it for branding. Nice work!
