Similar, yes. Now, can they provide as nifty an update to Photoshop as you guys did with PhotoKit Color 2.0? :-)

Ain’t it ironic that Adobe can’t even set up their web servers to work without the www prefix?

It’s about time. I’ve always been amazed that Adobe’s site — which should be a mecca of design excellence and usability — is actually the exact oppposite.

The front page looks better, but navigating throughout the site is still ridiculously cumbersome and the fixed font size is a joke. One still cannot zoom/scale the pages for comfortable reading without causing text to blob out of frames. So much for standards compliance…

Tested on Firefox 1.5.0.2, IE 7 Beta 2, Flock 0.5.1.4 [PC] and Camino 1.0, Safari 2.0.3, and Omni Web 5.1.3 [OS X v10.4.6].

This new design is better in the navifation area, stil there are some pages that are confusing between the drop down menus and the navigation bar.

Way to go Adobe,

It’s a pity that the new site does not work correctly in IE 7. It works fine in Firefox

Similar, yes, but that clean white look, logo, menubar, rotating “what’s new” graphic, multi-column pull as much content as possible above the fold layout is rapidly becoming the optimum for product sites.
