Accessibility, standards and W3C compliance. Not to mention SEO.
However, Tiger Beer’s site is not AJAX. It’s a bunch of dreamweaver generated rollovers inside of non-XHTML markup. That, I believe, is why it runs like a web 1.0 site.
Brett — I’d agree with the first point if the Gucci site were compliant. In fact, the browser requirements are IE6, FF1.5. See Ajaxian for a discussion.
re: Tiger, I picked the story up via Adverblog, and thought they were wrong, too. Then I realised they were probably referring to the javascript sideways scrolling layer.
Thanks for the correction.
The Gucci site is a clever idea, and a clever use of technology, that achieves in HTML and javascript what a less clever person could do in Flash. I’m at a loss to see any compliance, accessibility, or standards.
The Tiger site is a shocker. It’s not even Web 1.0 – it’s Web 0.1
