I plan on doing a full critique of the site once it goes live.

Jacksonville.com is slated to launch soon. By the time you read this it might already be online. As the largest online media outlet, it is many people’s first impression of Jacksonville, if it’s not this site (wink!). What do they say about first impressions?

What I Hope To See

  • Strong visual hierarchy.
  • Organized content units.
  • Muted highlight colors.
  • More padding, margin and spacing around elements.
  • Mobile version with device detection and automatic redirect.
