As many of you will have noticed, the Sydney Morning Herald launched a redesign of their site this week. They went live with the new look in the entertainment section of few weeks ago. It has now been rolled out to the entire site.
Some very interesting comments have been made on the SMH redesign on their news blog. I have to agree with a lot of them, especially the pagination and the treatment of ads.
One very interesting thing was the negative feedback about moving to a drop down navigation and removing the left-hand navigation completely. As we are planning to add drop down menu items from our tabs I think we have done the right thing with retaining the left-hand menu. Obviously some people find that if you can�t see it, it�s not there.
