New look official Everton website - like or dislike?

Has had a major makeover.

What do you think - an improvement?

Wow.

That's terribly designed. Painfully busy.

Scrolls an unnatural way.

Not good.

Whoever designed it is a bit clueless about best practice when it comes to web browsing. Having weird horizontal scrolling when almost all websites use vertical scrolling by default is weird and confusing. Clicking those little arrows to move from left to right is painfully slow.

If they kept the top navigation bar and then just used a standard vertical layout it would be an improvement over the older design. It's not entirely without merit.

The fixtures section has text overlapping.

What the bloody hell...

I know as Evertonians we like having a whinge about change, but that is terrible.

 

[teppic]

It looks about as organised as the team at the moment.

Immediately closed it out. It was burning my retinas.

I blame distin

 

[Boss_Blue]

Didn't we used to win awards for our web content?

Hope it grows on me but as it stands I'm not a fan.

Utterly awful, but at least it seems to have removed the annoying auto-playing video I never managed to disable

 

[BoysInBlue]

The way I see it, the stuff to the right of the Everton TV section is stuff I never use or read anyway.

If you go to http://www.evertonfc.com/news and bookmark that, just use that, as that uses vertical scrolling (thankfully!).

I can see the http://www.evertonfc.com/teams/injuries-suspensions section becoming useful as the season moves forward.

At first I thought my browser had stopped working properly.

 

[EFCPaul]

Not liking it to be honest. I thought it was fine the way it was and there was no need in changing it.

built for tablets and touch screen monitors

I'm sure they will refine it.
it has too much going on

Did the same for me in firefox. Tried it in safari and it was okay. Annoying that they don't check what it looks like in different browsers.
