For the past three months, I have been busy coding mockups for the redesign of ZDNet.com, and today it finally goes live.
This site was redesigned in 2006, but today it looks much better. This is the same design team that redid BNET in 2007.
There aren’t many new features, but the new design makes the site so much better. The rich colors and clean imagery attract me to the site. ZDNet has always had amazing content, but now it has the presentation layer it deserves.
One of the new pages on the site is the Video door. This is a project I worked on specifically.
Pulling off a redesign is a huge task. I never knew how much went into it. My definition of QA has totally changed.
Besides the overall visual design changing, the code has improved a lot. You will not find one break tag in the whole site. We are using far less divs, and everything is very semantic.
I am really proud of the engineering, production, design, and editorial teams for all their hard work. Hope you like the new site

looks great, Andrew. and it’s /fast/. nice work!
I was just perusing the site a little bit and glanced at the underlying code and I must say I am impressed. Also I am realizing that I have much more to learn as well…
Bravo, well done! Probably one of the best designs on the web. Very inspiring.
It looks great! I liked zdnet fine before now it’s *really handsome.
