Topix redesign postmortem
It's been about a month since we launched the redesign of Topix. The reviews have all been pretty good, with respect to the direction we're taking the company.
Concerning the visual design, however, there's been little to no talk at all about what a dramatic change the site has undergone. Part of me thinks this is a good thing. "Good" in the sense that the site's interface should be somewhat invisible to the end-user. But without the right kind of feedback, it is hard to qualify (or even prove) improvement to the overall user experience.
