Actually, when this post first dropped I went through the new site and took down some notes on what parts of the new design I thought followed industry standards and best practices, and what I thought didn't. Sort of a "professional critique" or "peer review". I considered posting it here as a comment, but I was concerned that some of my harsher criticisms would come across poorly without my body language and tone to give my words context. So instead of an item-by-item peer review I'll just summarize my thoughts and hope that the flippin awesome guys at NPCC, whom I respect, know that I'm trying to be helpful. The bottom line is that the old site had significant issues, particularly in the area of usability as Josh mentioned, that were addressed with the new design. I am excited to see that. That being said, it is my professional opinion (read: not a fact) that the new site introduced more problems than it solved. I love you guys. Srsly. peace|dewde I'd be interested in hearing more about the process myself.

Unfortunately it's just the nature of the beast known as NP web. Our last site had all of that information buried 5 or 6 levels deep. It was impossible to find. We wanted to make all of that info easier to get to. Originally it was going to be a site map on the bottom of each page like LifeChurch has on their campus sites. In an effort to declutter, we ultimately came up with the Quick Links drop down. Yeah, it is a lot of information. Unfortunately it's just the nature of the beast known as NP web.
