Last week, Microsoft completed
its relaunch of its Microsoft.com website, based on the company's Modern UI that it is using for several products, including Windows 8. Now one of the people involved in the creation of the new design talks about how the team at Microsoft came up with the new look.
In a post on
his personal Rainypixels.com site, Microsoft Web Strategist Nishant Kothary said he first became involved in the new design due to his wife, who was put in as the Director of Program Management for the Microsoft.com team. She asked him to talk to his team about modern web design. That evolved into working even more with the team and even with an outside design firm, Paravel, Inc, who helped to create
Microsoft's BUILD 2012 website, among others.
