While these menus can be annoying when they hide content you were looking at, most website users are accustomed to them, and they are a good way to expose the broad offerings of a large commercial bank. It was replaced by fly-out “mega menus” that expand over the top half of the page when a cursor hovers over a primary navigation item. The most noticeable change shows that Wells finally eliminated its mid-page “link farm” navigation, in use since 2004 ( see screenshots). While it may not win design awards, the new layout works really well, and that’s very good. The new site maintains the look and feel of previous generations, while overhauling top-level navigation. Wells Fargo has maintained its overall good design for almost ten years ( see previous versions below), so most visitors are accustomed to the bank’s no-nonsense approach to content and navigation. Based on a quick Google news search, it doesn’t seem to have received any negative comments.

Two weeks ago, Wells Fargo rolled out a new homepage design.
