They've done it: official page after a first re-design

Fans that already visit the site daily will do so regardless of the site design. I do like the new design. No complaints other than it's slow. However, I think Bill & Tom's design is visually superior. The "alive" factor is a huge difference and would probably be more inviting to new visitors. Just my thoughts...

I don't like the new site much prefered Bill's version. I assume they are still working on it as when I saw it the discogrphy section (albums/singles etc...) was missing. It reminds me a tad of Anniie Lennox's site except her site is better.

WHAT?!?!?

Well, in product / exclusive, there's Jack And Jill Party mix for sale. I think to have some demos or unreleased songs would be better.

I see the discography is in product which is stoopid imo.

Sorry am being picky but

The DVD pics used in "DVD's" are blurry!
and
The picture of Very further listening is on its end!
and
When I click to listen to My Head Is Spinning and KDX 125 I get Electricity
and
PopArt only lists one CD

the new site says all the content from the old site has been transferred but I don't see any sign of the old Q&A answers at all. Poor show.

I meant Jack And Jill Party mix like mix of Jack and Jill Party, not party mix of JAJP.

On the first page, before the pop up, in the (blurry) text image 'viewed' is spelled 'veiwed'...

Right... having tried looking at the new site last night at home and finding it frustratingly slow, I just gave it a go from work... and it's just as bad. Though I do like to look and the quirky features like the Pet Texts and the Geowayne calendar fact thing (Hurrah for Wayne!), indeed the usability is a appauling!

I am by no means an expert, but I did recently complete a module in Web Site Development with a focus on user friendly design and information architecture... let's just say this would fall under 'badly designed'... and to launch a site that isn't fully functional is just a bad idea, because it frustrates people and they won't come back to the website.... mind you in the end of the day, I hardly go there anymore anyway, because all the latest info will be on here

If I was Neil & Chris, I'd demand my money back from Airside!

I've managed to get on it two times now and I like what I've seen so far. However, both times that I did manage to get on, it packed up and I can't get back on it now

I like smaller fonts because it looks neater and I can read them fine

What I don't like is the white background, black would have been better, and the jukebox hasn't worked for me yet. Also, I don't like the site opening up in a new window.

I suppose the problems I'm having are due to it being new so hopefully these problems will be resolved in due course.

Also, where are the links to other PSB sites?

Let's not slag off this new website too much. It's certainly not a bad product, it only needs some adjustments and improvements. I'm sure these will happen. Although I also liked Bill's layout better, the new site is done in a neutral style that fits PSB very well.

The problem is, it HAS been published even if it needs these adjustments and improvements, and it has been prepared by a PROFESSIONAL designing company. Either this is their best, and then it's bad (functionality-wise - and one should admit that functionality and user-friendliness matters), or it is not, and then they should've wait a few days to finalize everything (but even if they improve content etc., it still won't be good unless they try to take care about what Kermit or I wrote about).
