LesAffaires redesigns, new pastel colors and blogs (2)

October 1st, 2007 · by Heri · web2.0

LesAffaires.com has relaunched last friday, one month after they unveiled a new design for the paper version of the business magazine.

les affaires redesign

Like in the paper version, the most visible part is that it’s now more colorful and with more graphics. Also, information is now distributed into 6 main sections. Those who work in web development should notice however the new pastel colors, the gradients, AJAX panels, and the focus on blogs, podcasts and video, with 2 additionnal bloggers, as if they followed a “web2.0 your website” textbook.

I should congratulate them because the magazine had 2 pages about Montreal Tech Watch last week, about the map of the web. But the weekly magazine presented itself as the #1 finance and business paper in Québec, with a circulation of 100.000, and as such, I expected more from the relaunch. I hoped for instance they’d merge the paper and web version, treating them not as separate publications, with different content, but as a same content distributed to different media. I also hoped there would be more interactivity (read:comments) for each article. Overall, it’s for me a welcomed change from their previous website, but still lacks a lot to be desired.
