The New lfpress.com October 6, 2009
Posted by SteveatLFPress in News.trackback
Holy cow, these past 36 hours have been a complete blur. We launched the new lfpress.com web site yesterday morning and while reviews have been decidedly mixed, I finally feel like we’re on a platform from which we can grow the way we need to.
I’m not going to post a whole heckuva lot right now because I need to get my compass realigned and need to absorb the feedback we’ve received. What has been amazing to me is how polarizing of an issue this has become. The response that we’ve received has been all over the map. Some people absolutely love the new design, with it’s wider layout and more intuitive navigation bar; others find it a hideous monstrosity and are calling for my immediate termination.
Anyway, I hope that most of you like where we’re trying to go. We’re far from being where I want us to be but this new site is a good step in the right direction.
@SteveatLFPress
great job! .. looking forward to the future and some new excitement each time moving forward as well!
I agree that the new site is leaps and bounds better than the old one. I think your team has accomplished a large move towards a more usable lfpress.com.
Every design change will have its haters, but the old site was lacking functionality that everyone expects of an online media company.
I dig it. It’s fresh, nice to look at, user friendly – very web 2.0.
Don’t listen to the haters – some people just can’t accept that the times are a changing, in many ways.
Keep up the good work
Thanks for the feedback all. I feel like we’ve just moved into a new house and while the boxes are all in the right rooms, half of them haven’t been opened yet and the furniture isn’t set up the way I want. Hopefully with some of the fires now put out we can now begin the task of getting stuff set up the way we want.
