Is a Re-design the answer?

by brie_manakul

It seems like everyone is re-designing their sites these days. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. Gives me a little job security for the future. Ask.com is trying to get in on some of the search engine market share by drawing in users with its new interface. It’s recently launched Askx.com, obviously copying the giant in the industry with their simiple interface.

Now Microsoft is taking a stab at a redesign for their home page as well.

Less clutter is best in my opinion. The more things you throw at the user the more likely they are to get flustered and look for something simpler.

I would argue that Ask X is beating Google in simplicity of design not copying it. We must all remember that Google isn’t the originator of simplicity. All design on the Web is evolutionary. Go check out early versions of Lycos, Dogpile, etc.

Good Point Danny. It’s hard to remember the time before Google. Thanks for the comment.
