Rediseños que espantan al lector

Andrew Brown, de The Guardian, sobre el rediseño del web del Financial Times:

But it's not very sensible for a newspaper to pitch its products at the dyslexic market; and it's particularly stupid for the Financial Times, which is a newspaper for the elite if it is anything at all.

Afortunadamente, el rediseño sólo ha afectado por ahora a la portada y el resto del sitio permanece igual. Visto lo visto, más vale lo mejorable conocido que lo nefasto por conocer.
