Portfolio: The 9513 Redesign
Let me dust off the cobwebs and introduce you to the latest iteration of The 9513, our beloved country music blog and main culprit responsible for consuming copious amounts of our time and thus the shadow of negligence cast over this very blog. After a full year in existence and growing popularity we thought it was time to roll out a design to liven things up a bit and better feature out best content.
As you can see from the screenshot, we redesigned the homepage to feature 4-5 articles of our choosing in the left hand side bar with a longer list of most recently posted articles in the middle column. The right hand sidebar contains a rotating feature space that allows us to highlight content at the top of the page where it’s more likely to be seen than if it were shoved further down the page. Score one for the publishers and the readers.
We’ve received quite a bit of positive feedback so far, but hope to continue adding important, community-building features over the coming months.

Seems like a lot of hardwork has been put into the redesign. Looks worth that work as well. Two thumbs up for a brilliant job for a rather under-appreciated genre of music

Congrats on the CSSBeauty feature guys. Do you guys write your own CMS or are you using something third party?

Thanks for the congrats, Jon. We’re actually running The 9513 on WordPress with a heavily customized theme.
