Pardon our Mess: Under Construction
We’ve been working behind the scenes since the summer to create a better site to host our vital and fair forum.
Today marks the first day with not only a new visual layout (front end) but also a new operating system (back end). Hooray!! The biggest part of the job is over: bringing over all of the content that’s been created since January 2008. In the coming weeks, we’ll be adding some bells, whistles and final design touches. Some of the bugs that we’re working on now include broken links and lost comments.
In the meantime, we hope you’ll enjoy these new features:
- Organized Categories
- People’s Government: City, DJUSD, County, and State Meetings & Actions; Elections; Politics
- Human Development: DJUSD, UC Davis, Parenting, Student Life, Spirituality
- Tasteful Life: Culture, Art, Literature, Fashion, Travel, Cooking, Food & Wine
- Physical Endeavors: Sports, Get Thee Outside
- Davis Diversions: Events, Entertainment, Nightlife & Charity Events
- Sustainable Living: Environmentalism, Conservation, Urban Growth, Smart Planning
- Modern Science: Science & Technology
- Everything Else: Seen Around Town, Business, Commerce and more
- A Search Bar (look up and right)
- Embedded Video (check out the next post: A Davis Halloween)
- Easier to read content and comments section
Our goal with this redesign was to make the sight more inviting and comfortable, improve navigation, and make it easier to read and scan. The key was to maintain its simplicity, while enhancing functionality. Please send us suggestions or leave them in the comments section below, we welcome your feedback.
