Adobe.com redesigns

December 11th, 2007 at 10:02PM in and

Adobe redesigned its main website, the Adobe Developer Connection and Design Center. Pretty much everything is new.

This is a major update after acquiring Macromedia (and borrowing the old Macromedia website style and design for their website).

The new design is superior, simple and effective, loads faster and it can hold a lot more info now. Also the new color theme is darker with lots of gray areas so that the content can pop-out of the page easily.

Most of the templates are fixed-width though, not scaling to the content, but everything seems fine and the information is not crowded at all. They could have done better with I.A. because there is a tremendous amount of information on adobe.com and most of it is still hard to find. A search function in the top-right corner comes in handy and I'm glad it was kept just like in the old version.
Lots of Flash, Flex, AJAX put into this release for more functionality.

I really appreciate the new website and will browse more of it daily.
