3 Glaring Signs That Cry Out for a Website Redesign
Rachel ArandillaThe thought of redesigning and revamping a website can be scary for most web designers. The thought of all the work and effort to design their website all over again can be frightening, more so are the countless review cycles, opinions from numerous stakeholders, comments from site visitors, and other factors to consider and this is enough to drive them crazy. Revamping your site is a mega-headache, redesign is necessary at one point in the web site's life cycle. You will need to revamp your site at some point in time, and the sooner, the better. You need to know when it is high time to revamp your site by looking into a few signs.
How to Properly Redesign a Website
Christian VasileRedesigning a website happens very often on the internet today. It can be thanks to the new technologies that appear one after another (and every one of us wants to stay in fashion) or because the rules change from month to month. Whatever the reason is, it is quite important to do it properly and to ensure the new design will bring you more advantages over your competitor than the old version. We don't redesign a website only for the sake of spending money. We do it because we feel that the site needs a visual revamp, we feel that our visitors want to see something new from a visual stand point. Considering the redesign is entirely for the users, it's them we should focus on when we think about creating a new identity for our blog, publication or whatever kind of webpage it is.

Beauty vs. Function: On Redesigning
Rean John UeharaThe thought of producing the best possible design, either from scratch or redesigning something, gives jitters to the heart of many designers. Even professionals in the field can't quite balance beauty and function. A few days ago I saw a comment here on 1stwebdesigner that says most of today's web designing is just like recycling old designs. That several years ago, when CSS was first introduced, people were really ecstatic to see “new” designs which were totally one-of-a-kind. With the rise of CMS like WordPress, Joomla, and others, there are already ready-made themes that, if I may say, are used by thousands of people. Nothing unique, nothing fancy. I am among those people who buy ready-made themes. Partly because I don't have the funds to hire a professional designer/developer to make me a website and half the reason is it's easier that way. I know, hold your pitchforks and listen first!
Successful and Failed Logo Redesigns
A company's logo is the most powerful part of their corporate identity. Logos communicate with consumers and users on a personal level, affecting the market's opinions towards the brand on a psychological level. Sometimes, logos need a makeover. It takes a lot of research to be able to execute a redesign of an old and familiar logo. Underdogs can get on top of the game because of their logo transformation and at the same time a major player can destroy themselves in just a short time. Here are a few of the most successful and not-so-successful logo redesigns. Let's cover the good ones first.

Ari SuardiyantiAs we realize that we are now living in the Brand Era, where everything is branded and labelled we are more concern to companies we believe can help us, shops where we can get our supplies, or websites we trust to keep our data or information securely. This is how a company's logo appeal as the first thing costumer will consider to trust or not. Among thousands of logos out there, some of them may look cheesy and cheap, and some visually give us confident. In order to grab our attention and get our trust, many companies even consider to re-brand/redesign their logo.
What Bloggers Can Do With Their Old Designs?
Nikunj TamboliRedesigning is kind of new trends with blogs. As Smashing Magazine, Mashable & larger number of other blogs are redesigning their blogs with some stunning new looks & user experience. I noticed that old design of these blogs was also good & that made me think that people can use their old designs in more than one way. This idea came to me few days back, when I found blog post on a famous design blog that gave sneak peek of their new design. I felt current design of that website was also pretty awesome. I quickly made a comment on the post suggesting him that he should donate his old design to new & upcoming bloggers which can help them in some way.
