1465230 2019-12-02 20:43:00 I often check the weather situation at the MetService website but I find the new website design too busy and after some days of sticking with it I was about to search for another site with a more simple layout when I discovered that MetService has an option to select the old site still :) bellbird (6169)
1465231 2019-12-02 20:58:00 the new site is awefull. Looks prettier & more modern, but actually worse .
Usual case of spend our money to fix something that wasnt broken .

Thanks for the info about still being able to access the old site. Its much better for a quick look.

old.metservice.com
With the old siteI quickly see what I want to know, rain forcast for the week.

1465232 2019-12-02 23:03:00 Don't like it at all, the previous one was clear, concise and easy to follow my area or further afield. Yes agree it is far to busy.:eek: Arnie (6624)
1465233 2019-12-02 23:57:00 Thanks for telling that - I'll share with a number of my friends. :) R.M. (561)

You have my 100% agreement! I'm pleased to be back at the 'old' site and I hope that they don't try to coerce us over to the 'new' site.

1465235 2019-12-03 00:40:00 best..comment..ever (facebook) " Looks like Metservice’s “New Coke” moment" :p

"One of New Zealand's most important and popular websites has undergone a $1.7 million revamp based on the scrutiny of more than 1000 people."

$1.7M. God help us. Another NZ Dept wasting money .

Obviously, they didnt get an real world Joe(Jane) Average bloke to test it first .
Look at the feedback on FB. Theres a lot of hate on the new look

1465236 2019-12-03 02:47:00 It's bloody awful. KarameaDave (15222)
1465237 2019-12-03 03:16:00 Hmm, just looked. It's OK.
Seems mainly vertical vs horizontal...but I mainly just go to city, then extended.
Tells me what I want to know, without bothering me...

1465238 2019-12-03 03:24:00 The old layout was much better than the new one. QW. (15883)
1465239 2019-12-03 06:07:00 I don't think it matters if they can't get the weather right anyway.

But $1.7m ....... :crying
