Is the new site design successful? Really disappointing - thought I'd ended up on the Daily Tele by mistake.  The site now appears to be a trashy tabloid - lots of flashing neon lights.  This version has lost the feel of a serious paper and has the feeling of a light weight "fluffy" version.  After all the hoopla about the new menus last time why not even keep those. BTW why no notice or a beta version for people to take a look?  I can only guess that feedback was not really wanted.  To be honest, I'll probably end up on the ABC site”
Is the new site design successful? “ The redesign is excellent. I find the use of the screen real estate much improved from the previous version and indeed much better than most newspaper internet site that I use (Telegraph, Evening Standard, NY Times).” “ The new format look great. I have been viewing the Age web site since its inception. Keeping up with the times is definitely a good idea. The look and feel of a broad sheet on line is a great idea.” “ Wow, I thought your netpaper was the best, but this is simply stunning”

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Thank you <introducer’s name> and good afternoon all. My name is Elizabeth Pek and I’m the Head of User Experience and this is my colleague, Andy Coffey who is the Head of Design. We are from Fairfax Digital, who are publishers of The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age websites. We’re very pleased to be here today to discuss how designing for sites people love is a balancing act between emotions and business reality.
