Review:
Weta has a new website, built with web standards in mind and some nifty visuals and css trickery. The darkened mystical theme is very fitting and the designer has spent some good hours on getting the graphics to work in a dynamic environment. I like how the backgrounds scale according to text sizes.
wouldn't like the menu, but I think it's perfectly OK using flash as long as an xhtml alternative is provided. The markup is not the prettiest I have seen, but it works and looks semantic enough. The amount of markup spent on providing browser warning and navigation extras are a bit heavy for my taste though.
Weta gets into the gallery because it once again proves that web standards is not a visual limitation. The site is not perfect in all aspects, but the graphics are quite stunning from my perspective and the markup is accessible and makes sense, with a few exceptions. Great job.

Well, he should have tested it in all browsers. Does not look good AT ALL in my Opera 7.54, infact i doesnt show at all, just some brown and two boxes. Sorry.
Disable the style sheet and you can read this: "please consider upgrading to a web-standards compliant browser such as Mozilla, Netscape, or Internet Explorer to fully experience the design of this site."
Those Weta guys sure have a sense of humour!
Nice site BTW...
I like it. Some of the pages load really slow thoug and I'm on a very fast cable connection of 6 mbps. I like the attention they paid to detail and the artsy/design quality it has. Nice job - 7.
Wow, awesome graphics. Probably the best use of the old/torn paper look I have ever seen. Worked fine in Opera 8.
For those that would like to know the site was designed and built by www.Chrometoaster.com, wellington/NZ.
Extra-ordinary art work. People tired to see glummy website, milllion boring website here and there, because not all web designer skilled with art, this website is really nice.
