After a short beta period, CNN has updated their web site. And it is beautiful. I love the new site. They have integrated video throughout it in a simple, seamless manner. The color scheme is simple and unobtrusive, yet not boring like the new LJWorld web site. The navigation is easy to understand, and they have helpful navigation structures like “hot topics” and “We Recommend.” Articles are clean and flow well. The “story highlights” make getting the gist of a story quick. The tabs for getting the article text or video works without a hitch. The text could use a little more line-height (or leading for you in the print world) and there is an occasional bit of graphics bleeding into the text. All in all, this is one very well done redesign. Congratulations CNN.
