Certain websites have incredibly well known designs, and usually they’re some of the top sites on the web. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and IMDB are just a few that can be named, and in addition to their designs being instantly recognizeable, they’ve also been tested and redesigned over the years.
To keep a website popular, it occasionally has to be updated, and it has to be constantly analyzed and optimized for the best user experience. This involves evaluating load times, user interactions, hot spots, and other metrics to determine the best possible design.
Sometimes, it’s fun to look at what redesign concepts other people have come up with, because they don’t have to play by the same rules when redesigning the site as the company itself:
Wikipedia Redesign
Facebook Redesign
Instagram Redesign
LinkedIn Redesign
IMDB Redesign
deviantART Redesign
YouTube Redesign
Twitter Redesign
VKontakt Redesign
