TNA's new website design

More change from the National Archives at Kew seemingly for the sake of it. Its new look website is currently available in beta format at http://beta.nationalarchives.gov.uk.

I find it fairly horrendous myself. It clearly looks like they're after a tablet friendly design which is pants for those wanting to access it on PC - more scrolling, garish font use, a Janet and John corporate monster.

Is it all bad? No - I quite like the menu button idea. But apart from also liking the TNA logo set against black, that's really about it.

There's more on why this is such a wonderful and radical innovation at http://nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/873.htm.
