Is Facebook 2.0 Actually Better?

Friday, October 3rd, 2008 | Industry News, Website Design | No Comments

Thousands of people have petitioned against the new Facebook website. I was even one of them, ‘why fix something that isn’t broken’ and with literally millions of users, launching a new interface has upset quite a few people. But is it actually better?

At first Facebook gave you an option to use the new interface or to stick with the old, being a web designer and with a slight curiosity I made the change, but my initial impression was it was difficult and completely different from the previous website which I was used to - so i reverted back, probably like many others.

This is when the petitions began.

After a short period Facebook notified all members stating that from a specific date, the new layout will be live, which started even more petitions. Then that tragic day came, I logged in and there it was this new and baffling interface which I was unfamiliar with, and I was immediately displeased.

But being thrown into the deep end, I have come to grips with its new features and seen that everything is there from what was there before, but in a more organised place. Which has made me think, is it actually better? and are other people coming to terms with the new Facebook and thinking to themselves “it’s really not that bad”?

What do you think?

Jet Tyres Goes Live

Monday, July 14th, 2008 | Company News, Our Work, Website Design | No Comments

The long awaited revamp of national tyre suppliers Jet Tyres website has finally gone live today. It has taken many weeks to create the website but has been well worth the wait.

Jet Tyres approached Impact to re-design their existing system which was enabling their customers to order tyres online, however their existing system left much physical admin, as they still had to call the customer and take payment. The original system was also very confusing and hard to maintain.

Jet were looking to achieve a new branded website, which could process payments online and was very user friendly.

A full case study will be available on this website shortly, until then please check out their website. Your comments would be much appreciated.
