New Website Designs Coming Soon
Last week our internal Web Editorial Board saw a preview of the designs Userworks has mocked up for a new website. Well, a mostly new website, as the divisions are autonomous and we can’t force them to use any particular template. But we will have usability guidelines available for them should they choose to depart from the final design.

Which is something you get to help decide. During our Midwinter Meeting (January 11-14 in Philadelphia), we will have a couple of kiosks onsite where attendees can view two final designs and give feedback. We’ll do the same thing online so that everyone and anyone can provide the same type of input. Think of this as “Website Idol,” where you the viewer get to vote for your favorite.
Although I think we all agree that almost anything would be better than what we have now, I believe the new design (whichever one is chosen) will be a true improvement. We’ll post again here (and on the Web Planning blog) when the survey and designs are available, so keep an eye out for them.
