zainhasan15 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 A brand new official website of the BEIJING 2008 Olympic Games was launched on Tuesday. The new site is based on a solid foundation of quick Games-time turnaround making use of mature, mainstream technology, an elegant color scheme and tasteful design, and clear and simply organization for ease of use. Since 2001, the official website of the BEIJING 2008 Olympic Games has undergone numerous facelifts, from the modest website used solely for reporting news at the onset gradually evolving into a comprehensive platform for news about the preparation for the Games, society and sports news, as well as for interaction with web users. The volume of official website visitors surpassed 1.3 million visitors the day the official mascots were released. The changes in the official website of the BEIJING 2008 reflects the continual progress with the preparations for the Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY20?? Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Give me more vibrancy, preferably more red, and bring back the "Image and Look" page with the empty "Core Patterns" slot, and then I'll be completely happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micheal_warren Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 i like it... its a massive improvement on the previous one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filipe_Golias Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Anything was better than the last site with a bad navigation system and definitely not user-friendly. I like this new one, though I'd expect them to stick with the Olympic red color, instead of the Paralympic (?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.x Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 ^ i was expecting red too, it'd look better with their logo. not only that but green is Vancouver's colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micheal_warren Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 yea i agree i am suprised that it is not red... maybe they are saving that for the next update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave199 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I like the new design. I don't get that weird pop up about installing some chinese translator, as I did all the time previously. It was weird, I'm not sure if others had that same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I'm an estimator of the Beijing logo but I have to admit that it losts its appeal without red.. and honestly those colour schemes seem too cold for a summer olympiad. Btw the site is nice and easy accessible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinkParkFn Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Athens' and Torino's sites, and even the ones for the Melbourne Commonwealth Games and Doha Asian Games were awesome and easy to use, far superior to Beijing's site at this point. Beijing's is rather muddled, but they still have time to work out the kinks. Maybe they'll work out a deal with Yahoo or Microsoft or Lenovo. Probably not, but there's plenty of time. By the way, love the sig P2K4, Elena is a honey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zainhasan15 Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 The layout of new website is very similar to Athens 2004's website. But colours are very cool, they should use some hot colours in thier next version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBModerator Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Does anyone remember when the Beijing 2008 BID site was virtually a copy of the Toronto 2008 bid site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
