Answers In Genesis Website New Look

Answersingenesis.org just released a new, cutting edge, web 2.0 look.

Answers In Genesis New Look

The Cool

Answers in Genesis regularly updates their sites to stay on the cutting edge and this update delivers. The look is very web 2.0, has lots of white space, gradients galore, and all around looks good. In this update the website incorporates jquery, a popular javascript library, to make it more usable and add some cool effects.

The Good

Answers in Genesis is known for their quality, smart, and well thought out content. The new look doesn't take away from that. In fact, the new look makes finding the content even easier. Two examples are the more predominant menu and the search box right up front and easy to find.

The Bad

With even the best sites there are bound to be negatives and this site is no different. If you are someone who is interested in standards compliant quality code don't look at the source for this website. It isn't pretty and can make a standards nut go a little crazy.

Overall Impression

Even with the ugly code, this site delivers on the user experience. This update keeps the site on the cutting edge of website design; while, increasing users ease to find what they are looking for.

This is by far one of the best looking Christian sites I have seen. I love the look. Its easy to read, modern, easy navigation and content is ordered in a way that makes it fun to navigate. I'm not much of a code man, but I agree it should be as standard as possible.
