I'm guessing they hired an agency who specializes in mobile. "hey its all about mobile, people are using the web different, big fonts and blocky modular sites are the way to go...trust us we know."

It kind of looks like it was designed for the ipad. ie: I betcha the homepage works pretty well when smeared around with a finger.

Anyone else getting the BBC redesign vibe from this?
The layout style is very modern and current, however it seems like the execution of the css has failed a bit. I'd be very interested to see the original mockups to see what level of polish it started out with. Props to the agency pulling it off though, selling a site like this to a such a large brand like target who is not known for innovation is not easy.
- wise words. Agree. I bet the original front-end guy is crying into his beer.

I think the copywriting draws too much attention to itself. Its trying hard to be more "casual" but on a large site like this, I'm not sure its the best approach. The homepage in particular is a pretty big mistake IMO.

I'd love to see the results of user testing for this one. Perhaps they went this way because customers were utilizing search? Feels clean but also feels like it has a lot of empty space.......no excitement from a shopper's perspective.
