I was thinking about Christmas plans (already, I'm ashamed to say) and thinking about the conference I might be going to in Atlanta over New Year's and I thought about the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Atlanta metro's major newspaper, for some reason.
So I went on ajc.com since I don't think I've ever been there.
The website looks like a lot of different newspapers' sites, even a little like The Miami Herald's previous design.
The home page is organized with major stories on the top left two-thirds, with ads on the right and section headings along the top banner.
A small strip of featured interactive human-interest stories follows, then videos and entertainment. On the bottom half of the page, there are about 20 smaller sections with anything from an election guide to what's for dinner to a holiday guide.
There is a lot of variety on the home page, to me it's just a little difficult to find quickly. There is also a lot of good, unique content featured, a couple of which I'll break down in subsequent posts. But again, nobody's going to read it if it's impossible to find.
Photos and videos feature prominently on the upper portion of the page but in the lower bulleted lists, at least a small photo for each would break up a full screen of text ad explain each division easily.
Another example of, I like the content but feel like it could be presented more powerfully.
Kinda like Atlanta. Nice people, just not my kind of town.
