I don't know... maybe because it's 2014?
The scrolljacking really makes for a terrible UI/UX. Designers: why is this something we're seeing more often? What is the main benefit?
Well we're seeing it more often in UI/UX because "forced creative vision" aka "design dictatorship" is more popular and acceptable for designers these days. Especially new designers who don't want to stick to the tried and true rules of design (nor learn them), nor base their designs off of some kind of metrics or best practices statistics. Steve Jobs culminated this attitude through his "I'll tell the user what they…
Apparently users like being told what they want

There is a delay of at least 100ms scrolling up and down between pages. I would guess 150ms. I do not see any obvious way of changing this, and the scroll bars are hidden. What if I need to change something at the top of the page? I also managed to break scrolling ending up halfway between pages somehow. The only way to fix this was to painfully scroll all the way to one end to reset things. No CSS: http://i.imgur.com/u5g0eaS.png
The site appears to scale horribly, and it looks like they are using javascript to generate styles. IANA web developer and have not studied modern web stuff in a long time, but this seems like A Bad Idea. No CSS or javascript: http://i.imgur.com/Kb2JZAH.png
I do not even want to think about the accessibility issues.All in all it seems like they are just following the flat design trend, for the sake of following it. I am sure they have good intentions, but just from analyzing this page I am underwhelmed.
This is super slick. Design wise it's ahead of its game, instead of another flat design website. I love how they put "life" into their brand with those avatars and make it fun in this all too boring process of buying tickets. To be honest, I would be jealous of how innovative Virgin is lately when I'm another airline. UX wise there are some things I would do differently. There are some rough edges but it's an iterati…
>Design wise it's ahead of its game, instead of another flat design website. Huh - did we look at the same site? Just the same old minimal bootstrap3core aesthetic that's everywhere nowadays. Found it pleasant to use, though.
Most flat design websites currently all use the same flat colors and the Flat UI template.
Flat design websites that are created by excellent designers begin to use gradients with specific color combinations. Like Stripe.
There's also an ongoing trend by using more thin fonts and thin graphs in charts. Looks more elegant. I really like this, but UX wise I hear a lot of signals that people find it hard to read.
What is the name of this new website design that is just one page that you scroll through.
