Default New CalgarySun.com

New layout for CalgarySun.com.

Does anyone else hate it as much as I do?

I think some headlines will look out of place on such a bright & happy color scheme.

Horrible site. At least the other site was straight forward and easy on the eyes. Soon enough this new site will be packed with ads and whatnot.

Can't stand it. I generally look at canoe.ca as they have most of the same content but the layout it much better.

Why are the headlines not super large with bad puns and exclamation points like the paper?

Also, if you're going to be so image intensive, at the very least put the Sunshine Girl front and centre.

Actually, I take back what I said about the Sunshine Girl. Let's leave her off the front page. Here's yesterday's:
NSFW!

It's not that bad...it looks like it takes a lot of style queues from Microsoft's Metro interface for Window Mobile 7

Its an awesome design if they were going for distracting, hard to follow, hard to find anything and just outright terrible on the eye.

I didn't want to post the topic, for fear of being outed as a closet Sun-Reader.....

Seriously though, that might be the single worst website revamp in history. It's slow loading, rife with unnecessary media, and no obvious structure/flow.

And the fact that the ENTIRE site is wrapped with a Cadbury Easter Ad is just brutal. I just can't imagine a web and marketing team doing a worse job. Just unforgivable.
