RELEVANTMAGAZINE.COM Facelift
August 13 2005
Yeserday, when I checked RELEVANTMAGAZINE.COM, which has come to be a daily read of mine, I was surprised to see their red flame logo in the center of the page with the text AUGUST 12, 2005 underneath.
Was the site redesign finally here? Was Relevant finally going to unveil what was suppose to origianlly go live at the beginning of April? After the Relevant community waited for the new version of the site to arrive at each of the miscalculated launch dates, was it finally time.
I looked forward to this ever since the beggining of the year when RELEVANTMAGAZINE.COM placed a countdown at the top of the page, counting the seconds until the new site launch, which was originally going to be sometime at the beginning of April. Relevant has always impressed me with their sleek, clean, non-cluttered web design. In fact, when we redesigned belleaire.org, we looked at RELEVANTMAGAZINE.COM as an example of what we wanted.
Last night, I checked the site again before I went to bed at around 1:00 AM. The logo was still there... disappointment. And the date had been taken off. The text simply read, "TONIGHT." Uh oh. Was Relevant pulling another one of their now-famous miscalculated launches?

I woke up this morning to a complete redesign of the Relevant site. Mmmmmm... Disappointment. The site looks like any other flashy website out in cyberspace. They might as well have tapped into an artist section and create another PureVolume site. Seriously.
The top menu on the newly released site is created in Flash and is surprisingly easy to navigate, and it does not go overboard on the flash. However, the rest of the main page is cluttered, trying to fit everything into a space constrained by about 900 pixels. It reminds me of the collage of colorful ads posted on New York City's sidewalk billboards. Where do you begin to find content? I get lost in the search fields and newletter sign-up boxes and the large flashy ads and the text sqeezed into some small box at the corner of the page.
Relevant, you have disappointed me. The only thing that I am excited about in the new launch is the Relevant Podcast. This is a great addition to the content in the bi-monthly Relevant print magazine.
All in all, the site is nice, do not get me wrong! It just is not set apart from any other site that has a flashy interface. Also, the site is designed for widescreen monitors, so, if you have a regular monitor, expect to see that annoying horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of your browser.
I am already awaiting the next facelift for the site, but that will probably not show itself until 2012 (and Relevant will claim to be ready for launch in 2008).
Keep up the good work, Relevant. You provide a great print magazine and I am excited about the new podcast, but go back to the simple, easy-to-use, design, please.
