# Yellowpages.ca Reboot

Yellowpages.ca has just finished a reboot of their web site.  The new site is alot clean than the old one and has much more of a Google/search engine feel to it.  The proximity search is still not what I would expect and is not as easy to use as I think it should be.  I was very impressed with the transitional tool they’ve provided to users to associate the old functionality and design with the new.  This seems like a nice method for getting users adopting the new design.

The results pages are also a lot cleaner and have a lot more white space.  Overall I think its a fairly big improvement and should be alot more usable.

I should mention that the Yellow Pages Group now owns my employer ( Trader Corporation ) but I don’t at all work on the YPG product lines.
