Missed both the bloggers’ sneak preview and the party to launch the new Times and Sunday Times websites but I would have liked to test drive them today.
I managed to get a glimpse of the new Times look and to read an arts review but every time I went back to the front page, I kept getting asked for my email and password on a popdown. After this had happened four times, I gave up. By next week no doubt these wrinkles will have been ironed out and there will be a live edition of the Sunday Times to look at. I will report back then.
Whatever else may be said, The Times site looks very good: classy, poised and clear. Credit for that goes to the Head of Design Jon Hill (his comment on this post namechecks his team).

George, I hope by now you’re enjoying a slightly less wrinkly version of the site and have also explored the Sunday Times site? It’s been a fascinating project, along with the iPad app.
I wanted to name check a few people here who really deserve the credit for the design: Simon Heys, online design editor; Jamie Long; Nural Choudhury; Amber Burrows; Chris Clarke and Amrit Virdi.
