new website design makes amnesty international usa more accessible...


perhaps only an amnestyphile such as moi would have noticed but amnesty international usa launched its redesigned web site this week and as a seinfeld character might have said, "it's spectacular,"...

human rights covers a BROAD ARRAY of categories including political, civil, economic, cultural, and social rights...and therefore consists of a HUGE BUNDLE of issues from a-w (arms trade to the war on terror)...

therefore creating a web site that is user friendly and supports an interested person in navigating through the denseness of the topic at hand is critical and well, truthfully, the older layout was not it...

some of the features i like about the new layout are it's horizontal rather than vertical format (matching most computer screens more readily), its 4 pull down menus that make it easier to see what's available and how to get there, it's much easier on the eyes resulting in less strain, the what's going on where feature allows you to match an issue with a country of interest in a nano-second, and if you simply want to take a quick on-line action and get out of there it makes that easy too...

so check out the new site and let us know what you think...

peace out <3
