Review Of The New FN Web Site

Food Network Unveils Snazzy New Site Design

If you’ve been surfing the net lately, surely you’ve noted that Food Network’s web site is sporting a fresh look. Gone are the days of lime green and tiny type; say hello to splashy crimson.

Literally . . . the header seems to be depicting something wet and red. Blood? Perhaps the head rolling of the old site designer?

I kid, I kid. I did detest the old Food Network site, though; I’d swear a blood oath to . . . never mind.

Hey, it’s almost Halloween, isn’t it?

Anyway, the new site appears on first blush to be a massive improvement on the old. Take the tour or view the introductory video if you’d like to become better acquainted. Here’s my take:

Giada in the tomato sauce looked like a horror film, so maybe that was the inspiration.

Smile

But for those who miss their GREEN colored site, just go to the FTV marketplace - Food Network Store - Find Cookware, Small Appliances, Cutlery, Kitchen Tools, Bakeware, Tableware, Barware, Storage products and more..
It all green and every tab takes you to another green page.
Maybe they rework that part of the site sometime soon too.
Maybe FNFan is right:
  • Red for Giada covered in tomato sauce
  • Green for MONEY $$$

Their TV ads also show the red background. It's kind of holiday-ish...reminds me of a cranberry cocktail.

I like the new red background. It feels more intimate for some reason.

Maybe because red is warm color and green was a cool color?

You see a lot of dinning rooms painted red because red is suppose to stimulate the appetite.

True. However, I don't need red walls to do that!
