So in response to last week's JSonline critiques, I feel JSonline could benefit from a quick look at what the Chicago Tribune did when they revamped a little less than a year ago. BE SIMPLE. And when you think you have gone simple enough-make it even more basic.
I enjoy the Chicago Tribune look-the simplicity of something you would find on blogspot, with the content of a solid news source. In fact of the major newspapers, I think it is one of the best. Not only that...we actually know what we are reading from. Unlike JS, there is a clear indication (in the headline banner). That we are reading the official website of the Chicago Tribune.
Links are clear and sections are divided evenly. I know we are in the digital age, but I don't benefit from 35 pictures and 4 moving advertisements jumping out at me on a homepage.
Take a lesson Journal Sentinel-It's all about being digitally simple.
