Yesterday Yahoo began
testing a new look for its home page. I must say that I was quite
impressed. It was cleaner and had a more modern look to it. Along the
left of the page there are links to various Yahoo features/topics such
as Autos, HotJobs, Photos and Yellow Pages.
There is a large
search bar at the top of the page beside the Yahoo logo. Above that you
are presented with links to the normal features such as Web search,
Images, Video, Audio, the Yahoo Directory, Yahoo Local, News and
Shopping.
The overall look is
very sleek. They have made great use of white space and color scheme.
The page layout is not too busy and opens up avenues for all kinds of
navigation.
Along the left below
the fold there is also links for small business owners and other
featured services such as Yahoo 360.
Here is a quick look
at the new look being displayed.
You can even provide
feedback for the new home page by going to

I must say that Yahoo must be listening to somebody’s feedback because
the new look is pretty impressive. It will be interesting to see just
how much they change the look of the home page. Now if we can just get
them to change the search results so that the relevancy factor is
improved. That may even force Jeeves the Butler out of retirement. |
