Hire a designer - the UI and UX could use some work. Here's some of the design feedback I'd give you:
- You're not utilizing the whole width of the page, and the table looks pretty compressed, making it difficult to read.
- You're also not using the whole height of the page. The pagination would be more useful if there was more content. It's silly to waste that much real estate.
- The icons in the top right are too small and the third (mailing list) carries no meaning.
- Your logo in the navbar is too small, or at least the text. You probably don't need the text in the logo if you've got the heading there.
- Search is in a pretty unintuitive location - try putting it in the top right of the layout.
Edit: From a functional perspective, you've got duplicated stories on the home page currently. Same exact link, two different titles.
- weston 13y agoWow, thank you! This is very good feedback. :-) I agree with everything you've said so far. Also, every once and a while a dupe article slips through (ex: same URL, different title like you saw). We do our best to keep an eye out in case something slips through our dupe-detectors. Thanks again!
- simantel 13y agoI'd just like to add that you should probably include some images in your site. It'd certainly spruce things up a bit. Check out the new Digg (http://digg.com/ http://digg.com/) for an example of a super slick news aggregator site that's very image-heavy.
- weston 13y agoWe're currently doing some testing using images. We're still very early in our product development. The new Digg does look great and very slick!
- RexDixon 13y agoHey there, I agree. Great feedback. Much appreciated.
