The phone book isn't pretty either, but that's not what it is made for. The current site is functional and straightforward.

- jonknee 17y agoNot a great example as fewer people are using the phone book every year in favor of sites like YellowPages.com that look a lot more like what the "after" designs in this article were.
- ryanwaggoner 17y agoNone of those people are using YellowPages.com over the physical phone book because the aesthetics are better.
- mbrubeck 17y agoI can only speak for people I know, but as far as I can tell the phone book is being replaced by (a) cell phones, which until the iPhone mostly had horrible UI design and (b) Google, which goes barely beyond Craigslist in the visual design department. I don't know anyone who uses YellowPages.com. (According to Alexa its reach is 0.1%.)
