My reason for doing so isn’t to win the contest, although that would be nice, but because the quality of work that Rachel Thurston does.

I think this is a great improvement from the old site and incorporates a lot of great User Experience and design features.

Most of all it is clean and simple and not cluttered up with unimportant elements. Even though the site is nice, it is a lot like other news sites and follows the same structure. It is a good update for NPR but isn’t anything ground-breaking, but, does it need to be? I think the content of the site is what makes this site stand out.

On the new site, it will be easier to combine listening and reading, to follow breaking news, to comment on our work and share it, and easier to find programming from your NPR station.

Some of the features that they set out to accomplished worked out very well. For instance, the simplified navigation and the three major sections prominently displayed on the home page (News, Arts & Life, and Music). It also has a latest news section that gets “timely” updates.

For a complete walk through and list of the new features, go to http://www.npr.org/services/new_site/.
