CNN's New Design

I like the way the New design looks however the page took a while to load. And its not even like I have an old computer, this desktop is only bought a year ago. Other than that, I think the new design can allow readers to see all the headlines in one page under different sections e.g. justice, health, tech. I think this is a better way for users to navigate to the sections they want to read however it would be nice if those sections are on the left or right side instead of all at the second half the page. Unless a user loves to use CNN as their news source, not many people will scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and then check out eye catching news articles. Therefore I think the old design works a little better (more effective as a news website) than the new design.

  1. I guess the load time is a little bit of a negative, but I didn't really notice it that much. I think the small negative is definitely worth the new design. It allows them to highlight videos at the top and gets people more interested in the stories. Also at the bottom users are able to see all the headlines in one place. I think this new design has a better feel to it.
