What is wrong with Imeem?

Imeem … we can define Imeem as a music website or community with heavy traffic every month. And the traffic is based first on the quality of Imeem’s services, and I hope it has also got to do with their interface. At least that was before.

A couple of minutes ago I just visited Imeem in order to listen to some music. Something cool with nice rhythm, like 3 Doors Down. And I had the surprise to see a new homepage. No, don’t think that the homepage was redesigned from scratch, just that the retouches are visible.

Homepage…
The new homepage is now much more clean. Some elements from the user interface are gone and along with those, some graphic elements were left behind. And it is good to have a lighter interfaces, but some of those elements were OK. Compared to the old index page, this one is less integrated and homogeneous, but at the same time is lighter and with balance.

The navigation is also changed which is a good thing, cause the previous one was bulky. Also a new set of feature was added. Spotlight – showcase the latest music, Discover – module for personal recommendation, Artist pages – more accessible and even a big centered search module in the first page.

Honestly, I’m not too happy with the redesign. Ok, better user experience in some cases and not so good on other. As an advice, next time try to impress instead of small and not so visible improvements.
