StarTribune.com Gets a Makeover

You may have already seen it: the Star Tribune did a massive renovation on its Web site. I have to say, it was long overdue.

You will almost be surprised when you first get to the site, it's like reading the E-edition of the Tribune. The interface very much has the look of the actual paper; and, at least for me, the site is much more user-friendly.

The site has a much cleaner look. The other site seemed so cluttered, lots of information, just on the homepage. Also, I think what really helped is they took the green color out of the Web site. Just my opinion, but there was a great deal of color on the old site which added to the clutter.

It's a great re-design, and you'll very likely be impressed when you first see it. It's something the Pioneer Press (aka twincities.com) should definitely look into doing.
