Coming Soon: Your New Colorado Pols Experience

  • 12 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

It’s been just over ten years since the last comprehensive site redesign of Colorado Pols, which is longer than several generations of competitors who came and went during the same time period–illustrating the point that without the product, the packaging isn’t what matters.

Nonetheless in the last ten years there have been innumerable updates to web design best practices, particularly with respect to ensuring an easy reading experience on a wider range of devices than ever before. To that end, we’ve been working since the summer with developers much more qualified than ourselves on a new user experience better suited to the 2020s:

The good news for users is that none of your accounts or data will be changing, and you should be able to access and participate in discussions and post user diaries as you always have. In addition, we’re hoping that new features will increase reader participation by streamlining the new account and posting process.

Our current schedule, subject to change as we troubleshoot, is to switch to the new design during the overnight hours of Thursday, November 9th-Friday, November 10th. The site may be intermittently or not accessible at all during this time period.

Thanks, and we look forward to another ten years of serving the public as the leading source of Colorado politics, news, and inside information.

  1. I know that this suggestion is a huge technological stretch, but here goes: if there is enough horsepower in the servers could a "blast from the past" page be created?  Pols has been around for almost twenty years and there are enough great pages to bring up to the newbies, and those of us who have been here from the start (almost, missed by a month or two).  Also, it would be a good way of giving dear readers a chance to see what we are talking about if we reference someone, or some event from the past that would only clutter up the front page.  Link from the main page to the ghosts of the past for those needing a path.

      1. I remember, waaayy back in the old days we even had a couple of "favorite polsters" polls. I think it was "Blue Cat" and "MOR" were perennial favorites.

        That, though, was before the hateful people showed up.

  2. If the transition runs a bit long, you can explain it is in honor of Armistice Day …

    A whole lot better to have a site for discussions among foes than open warfare. 

    And definitely more appropriate than my credit union's "celebration" of Veterans by handing out cupcakes.
