I'm pleased to announce that earlier today we deployed a revision to the GPWA website. I expect this will be the first of many revisions - we just wanted to make some improvements right away.
You will notice that we have simplified the navigation somewhat - there is now just a single navigation bar. And we've featured the forums in the main navigation bar so that they are more visible.
We've also added a forum search box on the home page, and have featured the formums with a link to them in the center of the home page. Before it was not obvious to me that the forums were the most important part of the site by looking at the home page, and so I suspect this was often the case for new site visitors.
We've also added a section at the bottom of the home page with links to recent legislative and legal documents.
Lastly, there were broken links and links that did not lead to interesting material before, and so we cleaned things up on that front.
Anyway, I hope everyone feels this is a good first step in making the site more usable, especially for new visitors.
I have lots of thoughts for further improvements, and I'm sure you do to. Please let me know your thoughts so they can be considered for one of the future rounds of improvement we make to the site.
Yours truly,
Michael Corfman
