New 7online.com website debuts

I think its a step down, the previous one looked by far better... Looks like something that anyone could've designed. It seems to be a new ABC O&O Format basically. Because KABC and WLS have the same looking websites.

 

I agree 100%.

You guys are nuts. I love it.

 

Because someone really got the message - hey, why do local news sites look so god damn cluttered all the time? You look at something like the NBC IBS sites or even the CBS O&O sites, and it's just a ton of info thrust at the user and pretty unclear navigation that changes with each different page.

 

Not here - it's a triumph of web 2.0. Navigation, page structure, and design is consistent across every single page of the site now. Video is in 16x9 - gasp! - for the ones that are doing HD. Advertising isn't as intrusive - well, okay, they're still doing those "guy walking across page to talk to you" video ads that annoy me so much and only ABC seems to do - and it's confined to certain portions of the screen. The only problem I have is that some of the sites deviated from the simple station logo on the top left to small promotions for the station or newscast, which doesn't work nearly as well.

 

They're trying to do something different, and it's working - I'll definitely give the ABC sites more of a look now with this new interface.
