As someone who is part of a team working to reimagine an outdated Web site, I’ve grown an eye for practical, eye-catching web design. Throughout the years, philly.com, “the region’s homepage,” has sported a host of terrible design iterations. And while this week’s most recent graphics update is far from award-winning, it’s a marked improvement over anything the site has done to date.
The content is still crippled by too many ads – and it’s still a shame that the Inquirer has become more of a wire service aggregate than an original paper – but the page’s use of tabs has separated the news into user-friendly, easy-to-digest bits of similar information. The new catchphrase, “anything and everything Philly,” still seems to overreach itself, especially in the face of sites like goPhila.com, but it’s a start.
Thanks your comment is delightful.
I will definitely read your diary..
See ya
