Dashboard on a Website (instead of homepage)
 

AKA: avnads.com

I'm all for progression on the web....

But is it me... or is the idea of a dashboard on a website (instead of a homepage)..... Just absolutely Retarded. A dashboard belongs in a car.

Seems like S-K-A-T to me.... someone starts doing it... then everyone starts doing it...

...and they think their Shit is The Shit

interesting topic and i've been reading intelligent dashboard design (o'reilly) lately. the key really is to integrate data smartly and eliminate unnecessary imagery to present lots of data and options in an easy to digest way. the dashboard is better for the data presentations than as the homepage design imo too, but as with all commercial affiliate sites such as avnads, all customers care about is the size of their checks and getting paid accurately.

depends on the site. For the avn site i think it works very good.

The feedback on the dashboard has been positive...
