I know I should have posted something before now but, to be honest, what is there to say about the CBC web redesign that hasn’t already been said about the Globe?
Like, why?
Or, as a colleague said, “where’s the news? I don’t like having to look for it.”
When will news-website designers learn that most of us go there for the news, not for boxes and teasers and links and all those things that make the site so unappealing we don’t want to bother trying to navigate it?
Or am I just too old to get it these days?

In no way does that make you
In no way does that make you too old. While the dead-tree Globe was improved with the re-design, the website was not. The National Post on the other had got it right. Big art, relevant text. Not too much stuff jammed in just because.

Well, I’m told now that this
Well, I’m told now that this is not a redesigned CBC site; the redesign is yet to come. Apparently this is something akin to just moving stuff around. Can’t wait to see what the real one looks like.
