On the heels of an overhaul of their print product back in October, the Los Angeles Times launched a redesign of their website a week or so ago. I like the new www.latimes.com a great deal from a usability standpoint. The new sites prominent, simplified horizontal nav bar is a huge improvement over the more complicated content structure present on the old site. And while I’m sure some will find the black and white design unexciting, I think the palette evokes the print product and makes it easy for the eye to focus on the content. This is a nice improvement.
