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.
