TheShowbox.com recently moved away from us to their third web developer in three years. It was a project I took on at the encouragement of a colleague after I had just decided not to do any more client work. However the TJLA is a great organization with tons of great data to turn into an interactive website. Like this site, it was a bit of a labor of love, the new developer is getting more in comp advertising each month than I was willing to charge in a year.
When I realized the TJLA was considering moving this Summer I highly encouraged them to do it. The new version is a great site with a much easier to understand navigation than the previous and I told EDJE that while assisting in the move.
One thing that did irk me was a blog by Tiffany Nickelson in which she listed numerous features that were “NEW & IMPROVED”. The issue was that virtually none of them were new and many of them were not only not improved but actually had functionality removed from the previous version. I was going to do a blog post on that but decided against it. However, this comment left on my post about SEO last week changed that.
I would have to disagree with your comment on the Showbox website. It looks really sharp and is much easier to get around. It may be missing a few things but I don't think those things were actually needed….
It surprised me for a few reasons…
It’s not hard to put 1, 2, 3, and 4 together to figure out who "Jeff Garrett" is.
I promise I'm not trying to pick on EDJE. I just make a habit of calling B.S. when I see and it tends to come from some places more often than others.
