The website is exceptionally done, but it might be worth considering that the idea of there being a basic set of five emotions...is a very Western view of things.

There's at least some evidence[1] that our brains and bodies do not come pre-wired for certain emotions, and that instead they are dynamically wired through specific social and cultural contexts.

"Talking about out emotions as internal experiences is quite exceptional in the world. People in many cultures talk about emotions as public, social, and relational than people do in contemporary Western cultural contexts. In cultures remote from our own in time and place, emotions are often seen as acts in the social and moral world" (from [1])
