ESPN continued
Why did ESPN redesign?
- Only 2% of their users had browsers that were incompatible with standards.
- They wanted “forward compatibility”.
- The expectation of more non-desktop devices being used to access the site.
- “Staying ahead of the curve”.
- It simplified the integration with their CMS.
- It gave the user more control over the display.
Netscape have an article about the redesign.
