hi guys the place i work did a soft launch of the new website a few weeks back, there is still alot to do and there is a 2+ year time frame to have extra stuff added - including localisation and new campaigns etc.

in the meantime have a lookie and let me know what you think, i have a very critical eye and theres alot of stuff i want to have fixed, but i'm also interested in what jo public thinks

choose USA to get to the new content as australia has there own local site which we didnt make - the ip check should choose Aus for you.. just use the dropdown to choose USA

www.heineken.com

you did heineken site? cant test, been shapped. in other news, im doing a part of crown cas website. flying there tomorrow for 2 nights

Looks very nice, a few oddities on safari (on initial load it jumped to the 3rd page), but overall works well, Flashy without being Flash.

good god.

you lucky (pseudo)dutch bastard.

lol first page must confuse the poor yanks with DD MM YY

Jumped to the 3rd page on Firefox and IE, not sure if it is suppose to do that. Images were not in line in IE, loaded it again and images became even more out of line. The page you go to after you put in your DOB looks really disjointed.

Is it possible to keep the DOB info between various pages? I hate having to type s*** in while browsing let alone multiple times answering the same question.

"Will work for beer" comes to mind, did you get any free swag?
site doesnt work for me in firefox, I put in my date of birth as 1 1 77 and click enter, i get no where

its probably my firefox setup so i wouldn't be worried
osx 10.5 w/ latest firefox but i run certain kind of script blockers and what not

Same here. I like how the flash didn't overload my connection and have to load for 40 seconds. The third page jump was just weird though.

Its very flash .... :)

teq try entering 01 01 77

yep that worked

Yep does the 3 page jump for me too.

also found the navigation weird

If it's anything like their beer it will be tasteless and overrated.

we are aware of the page jump.. it will be fixed int he next release

also try the game.. its a bit hard but you can win stuff

In the our Beer page the word " our "is behind a bottle and glass and you cant see it ,and is that supposed to be its reflection under it ?? , if so it looks silly please change . Nice work though .

unfortunatly we work with marketing and commerce who have just released a new Heineken look and feel.. it costs millions to decide that OUR goes behind an image of the beer and not in front... its a real eye opener to see how much decision making goes into the placement of a single image

tbh i like heineken, if you want to talk about an over rated beer go Corona, that s*** is like ~$63 a slab now.

heineken in holland is the win. even out of tinnys. especially out of tinnys!
heineken here is not so tasty.

Wow, quite different from most critique my website threads

yeah i'm not so fussed on heineken beer.. when i got the job i celebrated with a carton of grolsch - true story

this is like microsoft spending months deciding on the start button in vista.

Really blows my mind. and I agree, the our beer page is horrible. change it without telling them.
