NYTimes.com Redesign
The New York Times has redesigned its web site. I really like it. Clean layout, nice use of typography, plenty of spacing, and long scrolling pages (I like those).

Modern Postcard
Someone directed me to Modern Postcard to see about printing our Christmas card. In looking around I was impressed by the attention to detail.
Clip-N-Seal Bag Clips
I wrote about the Clip-n-Seal site earlier this morning, and thought I’d post a neat screen from their shopping cart page. I like it a lot, and they have super simple and high quality photos.
Arena
In the arena of sites I’ve seen recently, this one is quite nice.
wordPhoto.org
My new favorite web site is wordPhoto.org. If you’re familiar with PhotoFriday you’ll immediately see why wordPhoto is better – you can see all of the photos on a single page. Plus, instead of being weekly, it’s every single day!!
Lightroom
I thought this site was interesting: Lightroom. It’s different from all of the web sites I have seen lately. Mostly in that it feels like the site is breaking all of the common themes we see nowadays. It’s well done and they have some nice stuff in the portfolio section.

I love it!
I like today’s news on their frontpage even better: Macs now can boot into XP with Apple’s support!
Long scrolling pages? I much prefer pagination, at least when it’s done well, like at the International Herald Tribune. You don’t have to look hard for the “next page” button, but instead the entire right column of article text functions as it!
Wow, man, that is insane. I’m really excited about that prospect.
The new NYTimes.com is better but it’s not enough. Khoi Vinh, design director at NYTimes.com, calls it “awesome.” Even more awesome is the urgent need for effective design and advertising models. Newspapers aren’t changing their sites enough or fast enough.
“This site, like so many other newspaper.coms, still makes you feel like you’re staring at a detailed database schema diagram on a whiteboard, says Jay Small, leader of Small Initiatives, a consumer experience consultancy.

For reference, here’s another newspaper’s brand new redesign, standards-compliant: TorontoLife.com. Well done, with a different feel than the old-school feel that the NY Times is going for.
Ben – I like the Toronto Life site. That’s cool.
Alan – Good insight. I personally really like the way the NY Times site reads but I’d honestly never use it. For some reason sites like Drudge Report appeal to me more than anything. Now that would be a hard site to redesign.
