HEMA

Postby Doomius » Thu Feb 07, 2008 11:07 pm

This was forwarded to be by my boss:

HEMA is a Dutch department store. The first store opened on November 4, 1926, in Amsterdam. Now there are 150 stores all over the Netherlands. HEMA also has stores in Belgium, Luxemburg, and Germany. In June of this year, HEMA was sold to British investment company Lion Capital.

Take a look at HEMA's product page. You can't order anything and it's in Dutch but just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens.

This company has a sense of humor and a great computer programmer.

I love that site. I actually know one of the lead designers who was tasked with making that entire interaction. Not an easy task by any means.

I love it when words are similar to English -- like "damespanty" for pantyhose. Like, a dame's panty?

And "sokken" sounds way cooler than "socks."

But some things are better left the same as politically incorrect English -- like "ghettoblaster!"

P.S.
I am waiting for the day when someone surprises Justin with something new. *sigh* Insomniacs see all the cool web sites first.

That's fun. Why can all online shopping be fun like that?
