DesignScan started in 2008 as the first site where designers judged each other’s websites. After years of silence it is back, rebuilt from scratch: a free scan in about a minute, ten gauges, a plain-language fix list and people who vote.
Season’s greetings from the DesignScan team for Christmas 2014, with a hint of the announcements to come in 2015.

Behind the scenes in September 2014: a CMS upgrade, lossless image compression, faster pages through optimising and caching, and passing 100 designscans.
By popular request, a free account: FreeBee. Keep the credits you earn by voting under your own name and take part in the forum, the blog and the Vote section.
One month after the launch: bugs fixed, the first paid scans, the first blog posts, an author section for guest writers, a clearer front page and the start of the support section.
