Please review my new HORIZONTAL site design

[nivosh]

Hello members of the forum.

my name is niv and i am a yoga teacher.
i have built a home site which is all horizontal design.

yoga site: http://www.nivdorcohen.com

i think it looks great but i need to know if it's easy to navigate also.

please excuse me but the sit's language is not english, but still you can see the design and review it for me.

thank you

Is this on purpose ? I really have to scroll a lot horizontally
Original for sure but not too convenient to browse, I would perhaps split in different pages.

There are arrows on the bottum, that carry you to the next slide it's creative. Somethings i would recommend. Go left to right over right to left.

Also see if you can set a no scroll and make the arrows bigger and more noticeable.

It's a very creative site design idea. Credit has to be given for it.

Actualy the ideea is pretty good , i have seen in the past an webdesigner doing this kind of sites but starting from left to right . You have implemented verry good the way you go from page to page , i don`t have much to say , your ideea is great and the site looks complete and good .

Great work !

The concept is great, you're breaking the mold and distance yourself from conventionalism.
The only problem that i see with your site is; if you hadn't pointed out that your site is going right to left and that there are arrows on the bottom to actually move the site, i would have never looked for it, wondered where your navigation bar is located at. Granted, you have the scroll bar on the bottom, however the majority of users is not looking for a horizontal scroll, so your idea may get lost in the conventionalism that users are looking for.
The remedy: visually emphasize your arrows, make them larger, give them a little transparency and a little web 2.0 feel. Last but not least, get a Favicon going so that people can recognize your site when they bookmarked it into their toolbar.

The verdict: this is one of the most innovative yet simple site designs i've seen in a while. With a few minor adjustments and addition of visually guiding elements you have indeed a great site! Congrats!

its a very cool idea. the site looks nice, but it doesnt seem to fit my screen. you should move the arrows so that they would be visible at even a smaller resolution. maybe on the right side of the panels?
