It doesn't appeal to me particularly on a first glance but I have a rule I call the "Slate.com Rule of Web Site Redesign".
A few years ago I found that every time Slate did a redesign I absolutely despised it and felt they'd ruined everything. Then in a few weeks I'd get used to the new layouts and feel happy again. Then they'd redesign and I'd hate the new design and wish for the old (new) one back.
So the rule is: "All redesigns will be hated in the short term and accepted in the long term."
I have a feeling this one will be no different :)
- Erlangolem 9y agoI would generally agree, but this business of scrolling to the bottom and being navigated away I’m in no way going to get used to. I would modify your principle to cover aesthetics, but not key browser functionality. I’m going to get used to a new UI, new colors and design philosophies, but I never get used to scrolljacking, and some other anti-functional “features” on sites.
