Fred Seibert's Blog

I haven’t really loved Frederator.com’s homepage for quite a while now. Actually, I’m kind of sick of it because it doesn’t accomplish everything it should. A little staid, a little “so what’s new?” Since Frederator Blogs launched  four years ago it’s always been my own go-t0 Frederator site, and most everyone who visits Frederator would rather be at the blogs too. But, I’ve been busy and lazy at the same time and never really followed through on doing anything about it.

Lazy no more. The re-think process on Frederator.com has officially begun. Nate Olsen and Michael Lee are taking the lead in figuring out the best way to incorporate the immediacy of the blogs with the usefulness of the original site. Since most people looking for the studio or any of us personally go to Frederator.com first it seemed to me they might as well get an immediate dose of what’s up at Frederator. So, as you can see, we’ve moved the navigation over to the left side, put the promotion slots over to the right, and the blogs posts are running, full size, right down the middle. This way, if someone wants a quick fix it’s all right there. If they want more, well, that’s there too.

Up above you’ll see the first stab. I know, the graphic design stinks, but right now it’s just a placeholder, clumsily adapted (by me) off of the original design.

What’s it to you? Well, that’s what I’d like to know. What could we being doing better, or smarter, or prettier? Or whatever?
