I agree with Ellen, please calm down on the apo.org issue, the same
repetitive items keep being re-said over and over. It's obvious that there
are a lot of hurt feelings toward the new look.
I am not sold on the new look, I believe that a professional company
putting this page together has no reason for even being in business, if
they are putting out pages that look like that. To me, it looks very
cheap. The old page was alright, I realize there was a lot of hard work
that went into it, however it was becoming outdated, and needed to be
redone, to a much more user friendly interface. There is a serious need
for a look of professionalism needed on our national webpage, that just
wasn't it.
Another consideration, for further updates on our page should be have
faster loading times, this is possible via less graphics, our use a
graphics format tends to be smaller in size, ie. ".jpg" This is suppose to
be a professional site, is there really a need for "Fun & Games" section?
Less background textures are a great way to decrease loading time. A
question to WOW Marketing: 'Do you plan to be in business in the future?'
You won't be with pages like this one.
For those that feel, my two cents are woerth expression, and that I may not
know what I'm talking about. Well I have put together a few Webpages, in
fact my chapter, Xi, (www.stuorg.iastate.edu/APO) was my second such page
that I assembled. Feel free to check it out.
That's all
