It looks great, so I don’t really agree that it looks too busy. That should be easily solved by putting the instructions on a different page, and displaying a little more emphasis on the map, so might be worth a try.

It’s hard to criticise the idea as if it works or not will depend on a time where there are big fires, but I do think it’ll offer a perspective that will be somewhat unique compared to other bushfire maps. Good work!

Hello,

Thank you for all the feedback, I hope you enjoyed using Firemash.

I apologise for the heavy use of images. I am a developer, and spent my time ensuring the calculation engine was correct and the system could extend and scale easily.

Thanks,
Firemash

Are you planning to use any other keywords/hashtags to pick up fire incident locations?

I’d have to agree with Frank.

Making a website which is be accessed by the general public should be simple and easy to use – I’m confused at why you have had to make it such a busy and messy layout – especially with the choice of font – don’t even get me started with using images without alts to replace your text!

Regards,
Jon
