The new Marketingweb
Someone’s noticed! Yes, Marketingweb has had a redesign. Tyler has blogged about it and has offered some things he likes (and one he doesn’t) about the new site.
I agree with Tyler’s views that:
The home page is much more appealing than the last one.
The events and jobs sections have both been given more attention.
These both formed the core of the original redesign plan, and seem to have been received positively.
On the negative side though, he mentions that the home page size is huge (”a hefty 270kb”). What causes this problem, specifically on the home page is the fact that there are around 220kb of ad banners and scripts on it. Oops.
It’s interesting that a niche site such as this is being blogged about (The Moneyweb redesign itself had very few posts dedicated to it).
What’s important to remember is that the redesign in each of these cases (this can pretty much be expected with any redesign) is only the beginning.
Now that this has distracted me, whatever it is I wanted to write about this morning will have to wait…
Looking forward to meeting Tyler who I’ve only heard about and who I think? is coming to the 27dinner.
Disclosure: I helped migrate Marketingweb from its old site to the new one (much the same as I did with Moneyweb and Mineweb).
