Post by RobertGonzalez »

Has anyone seen the new Zend.com web site ( http://www.zend.com/en/ )? What do you all think about it, design wise?

I think it looks good. Very "web 2.0 feeling". Good usage of bright colors that stand out and make the site look fun, yet informational at the same time. I like the font choices, too.
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.

Looks nice, very professional. Like the little details, like the "behind the site flip" in the top right section.

Yeah, I thought it was a pretty clean design myself. It is very usable in my opinion.

Very cool! But it's a bit fancy in my opinion... and it's not Web 2.0, just a fancy design 8)

I'm mixed.. I dislike columns upon columns of menu options, maybe I'm dyslexic and don't know it, but it just becomes a hash/blur of text when there are that many links. Hard to pinpoint without staring at the screen for a while.

I'm old fashioned. Much prefer a navigation column on the left/right, and the content making up the rest of the page. Content should not be link after link after link, either :)
