Today we are celebrating Mashable’s fifth birthday. Thanks to our readers and advertisers, Mashable has come a long way since Pete Cashmore first launched the site on July 27, 2005. Some of this change is reflected in our continued site redesigns, which not only demonstrates Mashable’s growth, but the changes in technology and design in the last five years.
Our Graphic Designer Louis Dorman put together this graphic showcasing the redesigns of Mashable over the last five years. From a three-column to a simplified two-column layout, the site has continued to add new topic channels, such as recent addition Dev & Design; new resources like our Twitter List Directory; and social media guides, like our Facebook Guidebook.
We’ve always looked to accommodate our readers in our designs, and would love to know what you think is working or features you’d like to see in the comments.
