I was browsing the new Hearthhead website today (well, not
that
new anymore) and had a thought.
It seems to be the en-vogue right now for websites to completely restructure their design for a 'meta-simplistic' / pseudo-tiles layout for their sites, very over-simplified; I'm not sure as to the reasons for this, aesthetic is the only reason I can think of - although it possibly might negate the need for an entirely separate mobile version of the site (?), perhaps it just requires a little bit of style-scripting to make them more cross-device compatible? I don't know.
In any case, I wanted to cast a preemptive plea in the event that this same kind of re-work is plotted for Wowhead - please don't ever do that to Wowhead! Haha - those interfaces are clumsy, inefficient and require a lot more navigating to find what you're looking for; essentially sacrificing user-experience for a prettier site. Rather, I just want to remind you that this tile-centric design fad is just that, a fad that will fall out of fashion in the next few years or so.
Keep up the great work all! :)

I would like to offer my support for
not
reworking the interfaces and navigation for Wowhead. In my opinion, the site looks great the way it is currently designed and
I agree
with this sentiment:

We do have some plans to revamp our main page a bit to allow for the better flow of news, it may come off tile-like but we don't have any intentions of changing the vast majority of the site at all like Hearthhead, etc. No worries there :)
