Engadget Gets A Facelift For A New Year

There have been many faces of Engadget. Some I’ve liked, others I have not. But, just a couple of days ago, the mother-of-all tech blogs got a facelift and man do I really like it.
What I’m sure started with a little tweaking turned into an all-out redesign. They’ve changed everything on the page including the header, title, fonts, colors and sidebar. The only part that stayed is the footer where all of the sister sites show their latest headlines.
I’m actually glad it happened though, as I really disliked their previous theme. The light blue title and stale white background was just… blah. The new one though, looks ‘perdy. One thing I would like to see changed, however, is the big headline at the very top under the search bar and logo. If it wasn’t static it would be much better suited for this area. Maybe a dynamic rotating banner.
The positives clearly outweigh the negatives because the redesign was well thought out. The quote, most commended posts, “game changer” and gadget stats are welcome additions tot he sidebar. The graph-like bars are way cool.
As much as I hate to say it, I’m now ready to change UniverseBot. I just wish I was as proficient and talented as the coders at Engadget.
