Spending an hour on a Skype call with Bruce Sharpe last night gave me some good ideas about the SpokenWord.org homepage. We looked at a few sites together, and with Bruce’s encouragement I decided that SoundFlavor has a lot of good ideas on their homepage. So in the past 24 hours I’ve completely re-done the SpokenWord.org homepage, lifting many ideas from SoundFlavor and other sites. Yeah, the colors are still awful and I can’t design (or use Photoshop) worth a damn, but I think it’s a whole lot better for first-time visitors without sacrificing usability for our experts.
