Default Porsche Launches New Website Design

Porsche Launches New Website Design
Posted: 06 Nov 2013 03:56 AM PST

Porsche has introduced a newly designed home page
If you have not visited www.porsche.com in a while, we suggest you stop by and take a look. After years of the same home page, Porsche has rolled out a newly designed page.

Like all things, design is subjective. And although we are not big fans of this new web design which features a landscape of multiple boxes, pointing arrows, sub-sections, and micro-sites, it does freshen up the company’s image. It’s a little difficult to navigate, and confusing at first. With the addition Youtube videos, press releases and tons of social media related buttons, it can be overwhelming at first. Take a look, what do you think?

A note from 9 Magazine this morning...

The new site feels like they're following in the footsteps of iOS 7. Seems like these days everyone is going for the flat modern look... I kinda like it.

Yes, I agree. Now the cursor movement automatically brings up the model information. I wish I could still click it. It is so much more involving that way.

I understand the need for change but it is now so big it won't fit on my screen any more!

The new Porsche web page design sucks!

It's almost as bad as the new web site for my credit card. Now I have to logon on mutiple times to see my own info! Fu*kers! Time to change credit card companies.

OK, rant over!
