YouTube unveils new website design
YouTube has introduced a new homepage and “Channel” design in order to make it easier for viewers to find and watch content.
The company’s improved Channel design focuses on what matters most: helping users find great videos.
The team has incorporated feedback from the “Cosmic Panda” Channels and Watch experiment, for:
- A more streamlined and consistent design
- An easier way to find and view videos
- New, more flexible layouts for featured content
The homepage design has been updated to make it easier to find and watch videos. On the left side of the homepage users can create their own, personal, customisable YouTube Channel line-up. Sign-in, or create a YouTube account. They can browse recommended Channels; customise their homepage’s feed; even link their YouTube account to Google+ and Facebook to see what their friends are sharing. Users can switch between feeds by clicking on different Channels on the left.
“We are trying hard to marry the best of TV and the best of online,” YouTube vice president of product development Shishir Mehrotra said.
