Instagram Cleans up Its Website With Its Latest Design Overhaul

Missing many of the most important features of its mobile version, the Instagram website has often been seen more as a motivator to switch from your computer to your smartphone rather than an equal platform in functionality. With its latest update, Instagram has revamped the design of the website, removing the previously skeuomorphic design and the changing grid banner of images in favor of a simple header and borderless images arranged three across. These changes thus position the website as a photo viewer as opposed to the social network functionality of its mobile cousin, given the increasing numbers of creative professionals who use the platform as a portfolio of their work. Expect the design overhaul to be rolled out to all users by the end of the week.
