Taking a look at Dave Shea’s redesign (followup) of the new Mozilla website. It’s not horrible, but I’m not sure if it’s an improvement on the current design. I really liked the download buttons on the top left… However, my biggest concern is probably the lack of unity of the look. I’m counting half a dozen different line/bg treaments, round + square corners, flush polygons + borders + white spaced blocks, borders + no borders + dotted lines, 2 different arrow markers, background overlays on the left and right (both in the right ‘column’ (different spaces). Seems a bit of a mess.
But Dave is right, the new Firebird site is pretty… erhh, special.
