The ongoing documentation of Mark Boulton Design’s redesign of the Drupal website is providing some great insight into the process; Leisa Reichelt’s latest post, on the community wireframing project , is a prime example. Now - whether by happy serendipity or a desire to compete - Wordpress have begun to do likewise.
The revamped UI for Wordpress was released in March of this year. It was created by the esteemed Happy Cog Studios , in a process which doesn’t seem to have been much reported on (at least, I can’t find anything) other than in their own portfolio .
