Doggie Style Mobile Washing | excellent usability in flash.

Doggie Style Mobile Washing & Grooming does a really nice job of usability in Flash. Back button works, and eveything is easy to understand as navigation. Really nice project, although the design doesn’t make me do back-flips… it’s a good learning project. Only one other “gotcha” on this one. The menu to the left is really hard to use. You have to do a roll-over to get the menu to appear. Following typicaly GUI style it should be on “mouse-up” before you get the menu. Keeping UI items standard and what users will expect is key for usability. I always say, follow what Apple and Microsoft are doing. This is what people will expect.
