Great design, but wow, it's impossible to scroll down with a scroll wheel.
I have to drag the navigation bar manually, a thing I didn't ever do in the last 15 years

Looks better, flows better. Now I wonder if they will still take it down before launching new products.
Tim Apple: I like old things. Like me. Make our web page look like 2013.
This is what happens when designers are enclosed in an ecosystem and use Apple products and accessories to design webpages!Great design, but wow, it's impossible to scroll down with a scroll wheel.

I bet you, they didn't even QA test this design using an orthodox mouse with a traditional scroll wheel! I bet you that they tested it using the Trackpad and the Magic Mouse and that is it!
How about:
I like things that work. I like things that were designed initially to work well, before they were later redesigned to look a certain way.
Completely agree -- so much more information and it's blocking you from getting to the point -- to shop! Want to know more about X? Here's a pop-up! Want to know even MORE? Here's another tab! Wait, where was I?
It looks like it did in 2014. Nostalgic.

The store site isn't centered correctly, its annoying, I don't know wtf they've done here. A lot of white space on the left and then I have to do that button to move content over, this is lame
This store site is terribly optimized for desktop performance. You can't even scroll down if your mouse is hovering over a horizontally scrolling element, which doesn't horizontally scroll in either direction while you scroll down. Whoever designed this page needs to go back to the drawing board and redo it. That gap to the left is completely unnecessary too.
What makes it worse, is this is really easy to fix in code... Once your mouse pointer touches the horizontally scrollable div, it should automatically scroll horizontally and once hitting the end, should then resume vertical scroll. Even with that in place, it's still bad UI/design... but people want what they want.
I tried unsuccessfully to talk a client out of this type of scrolling design a few years back. Can't believe this is still a thing.
I think they've chosen to ignore mouse users and focused on trackpad users (I'm just guessing... it could definitely simply be a case of amateur hour coding). Works fine on my Magic Trackpad... not so much with the MX Master 3. I wonder how it works with the Magic Mouse...
Add a 3rd and 4th report - my company EPP link is page not found, and a "shared benefits" site we have access to with a different link has the same result. Store chat was not helpful - they suggested I call my HR department...
I can confirm that the EPP links we have in Hong Kong and Singapore produces a page not found too…
