Boxee Launches New Site Design

2 Comments By Chris Tingom on January 9, 2010

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Boxee is a free service you can use to stream a bunch of video sources to your television. It’s very popular, and they just recently updated their web site and I think it’s gorgeous.

A few of the things I liked:

The way the video is at the top of the page, but mostly hidden until you click on it.
The way the navigation bar is a pull down showing extra functionality — it’s not really a navigation bar in the traditional sense.

It’s good looking but personally I wasn’t blown away. I also found the sticky dropdowns a tad annoying and can’t make sense of those Vimeo player controls with the time elapsed label cropped too closely. I thought the page hadn’t loaded well when I first looked at it.
The illustrations are great though and different – for once – from the candy-colored creatures we’re seeing everywhere these days.
But whatever as long as the service does what it says it will.
