Windows 8 is the next version of Microsoft Windows, which will be used on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, netbooks, tablet PCs, servers, and media center PCs. Microsoft unveiled new Windows 8 features and improvements on September 13, 2011, day one of the BUILD developer conference. Windows 8 will contain a new user interface based on Microsoft’s design language named Metro. With the new change, the Start Menu was replaced in favor for the new Start Screen, where there are tiles that contain shortcuts to applications, Metro style applications, and updating tiles, similar to Windows Phone.
The special UI design actually inspired me to create this web design. It is clean and informative with the tiles. Therefore it is quite suitable for WordPress site because on a homepage a summary can be display with featured articles and photo gallery, etc.
This is the web design example based this Windows 8 tiles UI. Click the button below to see the real HTML demo
We welcome any comments and discussion on this design and we are aiming to make a WordPress theme based on this too in the future.
