A few months back some of you had voiced your opinions here on the then
recent redesign at WRAL.com. Some of us shared our opinions with the
station staff. FWIW, Capitol Broadcasting does appear to be taking some
action based on the feedback they received. I was just sent an email
message asking me to take a look at an "Express" redesign of the present
site, and provide some structured feedback in the form of some task
testing and a couple of survey forms.
The Express preview is available at
<http://cf.ibsys.com/ral/sh/TestDrive/FreeSurf/surfframe.cfm>
This URL was given out after I'd completed the surveys. No mention was
made of restrictions on sharing it and the mailto: link in the top frame
makes it look like they want feedback, so I am passing it on to the group.
This lastest iteration does lessen download times and get rid of some of
the visual clutter. Everything displayed OK for me on
ozilla0.9.3/WinNT4. To my eyes the layout and typography could use some
work (HUGE HEADLINE TEXT), but it would seem to be an improvement.
Check it out and let them know what you think.
