A new look for the #1 Palm site

Bob Russell · 02-16-2006, 04:29 PM

If you have not recently visited the Palm Addicts site, you're in for a pleasant surprise... even more pleasant than usual.

They have just rolled out their new look today, with an attractive new color scheme. I like that orange color on the black background. Congrats to Sammy and the whole team at the grandfather of Palm blogs.

I'm sure there are many more good things to come. And don't forget to read all the latest Palm news while you're there. It's the perfect way to make sure you don't miss anything going on in the Palm world.

Like the layout... It's pretty nice. The colours are fairly well-chosen, if a bit Halloween-ish. The only thing I could think to consider if I was doing that design would be the text colour, perhaps using a slightly off-white instead of plain white. Possibly easier on the eyes.

The only thing I can see to really complain about is the size... Over 2 MB to get everything on that page! That'd be murder on dial up. But then again, Palm Addict has never been a 'light bandwidth' place.

I find that layout much easier to use than the old one overall. More area for the content with the ads down one side instead of both. Overall, definitely an improvement.

I like the redesign a lot; it's very good on the eye (white on black contast), especially for people like me who need to wear glasses (or contacts).
