Just looked at it...lol hadn't before. Enyewe comparing it to USA today is rather unfair to the developers of USA today. Someone forgot this was a newspaper, not a two man blog with few resources for a good designer. They should have had a bigger budget for their website to be honest. coz whatever it was, it wasn't enough. There is too much white space on the site. Spaces everywhere. No sence of form or structure. One block of content overrides another block of content. sure you want to get more from advertising but those ad placements are annoying to say the least. Compare the ads on usa today. As for the megamenu being bragged about as being different, thats a $10 script in 2013. The saving grace is that Nation is a brand. So this shouldn't affect them in the short run. But its annoying to think that the standard design is better. lol Ok its not.... If someone had tried it on their own blog, they'd definately have lost traffic. Lakini tutazoea tu or someone will create something better than that design and we shall move in droves. News is news you know.

We are Circle Digital Ltd, designers of the new Nation Website. We are very grateful for all feedback, positive and negative. We are taking everything into consideration and working around the clock to address bug fixes. We appreciate that there have been challenges. We would like to specifically reject the allegation that the new site is a copy of the USA Today site. Consider for instance the navigation of that site Vs Nation. Or the use of a slider on USA Today that is not present on Nation site. We appreciate that there are challenges, but the integrity and originality of the work is intact. Please keep constructive comment coming.
We hate it, remove the "MUST READ" column it looks misplaced, the other page looked more like a newspaper than a blog. Pls dont touch Business Daily @alma, it took a while for you to comment, i was peeping to see YOUR comment

Bw Linus Gitahi @ Nation.co.ke We are busy people. Wacha hii upuzi ya experiment-rudisha gazeti ama we shall be reading Star, Standard, People then once a week peep to see kama umewacha phangi nktest the reason i read online papers is to gauge readers views and comments hapo chini at he end of the article!!! sio upuzi by some of your barely literate excuses of journalists we know una shida ya macho nne me i dont what is it with the huge font? Mbloo hapa mmetupa mbao na randa. . . Na hii black blck nyeuzi all over ni nini? Kwani ni nyawawa nyninyi nightrunners? Otherwise tutaomba sirkal iingilie. . . Hii ni hujuma.

My view, the old one was better esp in terms of navigation. I liked the upper bar with a link to the other publications. The new one seems like a slide-show
i agree. can't get to the opinions for sunday's edition. the navigation bar with links to news, blogs, etc should at the top of the page. Bottom line is make it easier to nagivate to a variety of things like on the previous site

you expect your mobile version to be like the web one? the old website was shit. this one is far much better. just take time to know where the links are like you did with the old version. think guys here have been used to the old shitty web version such that when they even get a better one they scream.
