Wired has a well-earned reputation for pushing the design envelope with its magazine. Now the same can be said for Wired‘s redesigned website. The redesign hasn’t gone over too well with some readers. Comments include:
I just opened up your site for the first time in a few days. Hate to say it but the new layout stinks.
To which middle school art class did you farm this out?
No. No. No. Bad Wired. Surely this is some cruel joke because you withheld pizza and caffeine from the html coders, yes?
If nothing else, Wired’s experiment should offer solace to college and university web designers who suffer through user complaints any time they redesign — or sometimes just tweak — their school sites.
Thanks to CyberJournalist for the tip.
