PayPal Redesign in beta

Posted June 26, 2007 at 10:28 AM EST in CSS, Web Standards, Work

Head over to PayPal and check out the redesign beta! Only the main pages have been redesigned, but you can go through the whole site with a new header/footer for a feel of what’s to come.

Feedback on the code welcome here!

    I like the design, but yow, there’s some div-itis and class-itis going on there. Lots of superfluous divs surrounding unordered lists; in most cases, I think you could apply the ids and classes from the divs directly to the ul tags. The beta notice at the top of the page (“Switch back to the original PayPal”) should probably be a paragraph rather than a div. For the navigation boxes on the left, you’ve got superfluous divs, class=header, surrounding the actual header tags.

    If you’re aiming for standards-compliance, the wbr tags between credit card icons should go; they’re not part of any standard. If you want to keep them and forget compliance, wbr is an empty element, so the closing /wbr tags should disappear.

    Great stuff! Which agency did you partner with on the redesign, or was it all done in-house?
