Thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.weather.gov/redesign/ The National Weather Service is proposing a design refresh of the NWS website http://www.weather.gov.

The goal of this first phase is to improve content organization, navigation, look and feel, functionality, and usability of Weather.gov. Subsequent phases will support advancement in the delivery of information and decision support services from Weather.gov. Integration of an interactive watch and warning map is also under consideration.

icebreaker5221 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Severe Weather Alert anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Severe Weather Alert anyone? That caught my attention too. According to wikipedia, it is a placeholder text for graphics. It is meaningless. I don't really see what is better about this version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslotted Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Severe Weather Alert anyone? It is typical to use Latin "filler text" for illustrative and layout purposes when designing a new site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderon Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Now would this be applied to all NWS offices? Probably a stupid question but figured I ask anyways. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Not significantly better than the old version... sent in some feedback to improve some of the colors/design. Layout's good, but is similar to the current version. Overall, slight improvement, but still a ways to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my question... despite the similarities, visiting different office's sites can get confusing when certain data/information is put in different places.

This......I am used to BOX and get all screwed up when I go to another NWS site......I go to STO and MTR a lot.....they should have the same layout with the same stuff....with another area dedicated to area specific stuff that is unique to that office....

The WRH sites are my favorite... completely different than the rest of the regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
