It's not the worst site I've ever seen. For an official site it's too basic though. Look at what kind of websites other artists have. A lot more could've been done with all the Queenartwork (albumsleeves etc).
Still, it's not bad.

yipes....that is VERY basic, isnt it?
Well for me personally the earliest version was worse than presentXD At least the first impression is better, i like the colors, though it cannot compete with Queenzone.... Guys that made this site, I'M TRULY PROUD OF YOU!!! Thank you so much!!! It's so simple, tidy and interesting. Bravo guys!!
I think its time for Queen to think about making some changes to thier creative staff. Poor album sleeves (ROTC & QRM) and now a bad design on an offical website. Everything seem so amateurish...
I think the new website can be summed up by the fact that on the Videography section, they have details of the "Freddie MURCURY Tribute Concert"
What an absolute disgrace.....
(p.s. In addition, the tribute concert is also missing from the DVD section of the videography)

That sounds like a good idea... The new colour scheme was supposed to have been personally approved by Brian himself (if I remember correctly that's what was posted QOL), so he should start by dropping out of the business himself.
I'd like to replace him with somebody who actually cares about what they release, and would preferably release a series of low-profit products for the fans as well, instead of going for the lowest common denominator.
I think we can find an adequate replacement here at QZ. ;)

excerpts from the (apparently) official biography, as featured on QOL:
"Queen formed in 1971 [...]"
"Brian and Roger take Queen back onto the touring circuit for the first time since 1986 this Spring, joined by former Free/Bad Company singer, songwriter and musicial Paul Rodgers playing concerts across the UK and throughout Europe. The tour covers over a dozen countries over a six week period, followed in July by 4 major outdoor concerts including London’s Hyde Park on July 8, a venue they last played in September 1976 when playing a free concert, they attracted a record audience of 150,000 to the Royal Park."
i like the fact that it's accurate, up-to-date, and well-written.

That's pathetic. I could understand having a typo, but that's just stupid.

I heard it was John Deacon who was back ito business and created this website... 'thought he stopped drinking too much... He is better in electronics though, so hey, he can't be good in everything !
Really bad looking, hope it is just a transition thing too, really. I had difficulties to find the queenzone news link too on the first time, and that's what I used to read on Queenonline, official news and "gossip"...
No, for me, it is worse than it was previously, it was even quite great before. let's hope it won't stay this way !

I think the QOL website looked at it's best in 1999, around the release of GH3. After that it got worse and worse and worse. However, I do think that the current version is a lot better than the old one. That one didn't even correctly work in Firefox.

I like that version, and it seemed to work ok for me (a Firefox user) what didn't work for you?

Well, for example some of the forms didn't display correctly (white fonts on white background). The frames also had some problems I think - but it's been a looooong time since I was on QOL :D

Perhaps, but this new one does not work in IE properly.
It's a crying shame that this is what the official site looks like. It's not just the way it looks that is the problem though.

Well, there *is* a comment saying "We have a few more features and tweaks to make, so do bare with us" - but, of course, they did use the word "bare" instead of "bear", and I don't feel comfortable taking my clothes off with them. Not unless they buy me a nice dinner and drinks first.
