Today Gizmodo (http://gizmodo.com) released a redesign for their website. It looks ugly and is not pleasing to the eyes. What do you think about the new theme? |
|
All I have to say is I'm glad RSS exists. Now I never have to view this horrible design again. |
|
That is horrible. I'm telling you - someone needs to be fired. I cannot believe they paid for that. |

Wow, it's abysmal. Pages take too long to load, if i click a link on the right then push the down arrow to scroll down it - oh how intuitive it goes to the NEXT ARTICLE! Wait, I wasn't finished reading the first one! And what's with the huge gizmodo splash screen on half the articles on the front page? Lots of waste on the margins - it should size according to my browser space. I think I'll aggregate the articles from their site so I can read them in text-only format. edit: OMG it gets better! I have a wacky screen size because of this pseudo-netbook, and it seems that the right navigation bar on their page is entirely cut off at the bottom. But wait, it gets better! They've attached the scroll bar to the middle region ALONE so it's apparently not possible to scroll the right region! Seriously! They broke the site! It not only looks bad, it doesn't work on all monitors! |

I usually just "Deal with it" when sites change their layouts, but I honestly can't use Gizmodo anymore. I'm stuck with Engadget, and all the immature commenters. >,> |
|
Personally, I hate it. It looks horrible and I hate it. I give them less than a month before they switch back. |
|
It's too confusing. It looks innovative, I'll give them that, but it's just a little too much. |
|
Same thing at Lifehacker (since they are all run by the same folks) and it's horrible. Not user friendly at all. |
|
You know, when @donttrythis (Adam Savage) has a problem with the design and tweets about it, you know theirs a problem. "@donttrythis - Oh my goodness. Hey Gawker? Everything you're doing today doesn't work for me." "@donttrythis - Ack! They did it to Gizmodo too!" It loads extremely slow and uses a lot of cpu in all browsers, especially chrome. One less tech blog to visit :( |
|
This used to be a favorite site of mine... The new design is terrible... |
|
For a "tech blog" - it 100% sucks balls!! Rule No.1 for ANY blog = Make it EASY to comprehend. Emphasis on EASY!! I can't believe anyone prefers that crap to the previous design - you know, the one that actually made visiting the site a pleasure? Why break, I mean "fix" something when it's not broken? |
