Timeless Timewarp


My partner and I decided to take on the task of redesigning Timewarp Toys. Follow this link ONLY if you have no precondition to epileptic seizures.

The idea is - vintage toys, buying, selling, and learning. But you wouldn't know that by the site. Trust me, it is a bit trippy.

While this site looks like an intergalactic mushroomfest, here are some of the sites that are related, and it seems that they do the content management a little better:
Grasshopper Toys - while this may not be ideal, the navigation is a lot easier to deal with
ebay - although it is not very content specific, the function is similar
Livejournal vintage toys - the purpose is very different, but I believe the photography could be useful

And here are some sites along the same vein that, just like timewarp, have more than a few issues to work out. Basically, if we get a D in this whole Web design thing, we would be the best vintage toy site on the net:
Where the Toys Are - site for a physical store, but their online content mimics Timewarp
Toy Info - at least this one has an alphabetical order
