Tt post about article design - mon, sep 8, 2015

I'd pay big money for a Blade subscription if the article pages looked something like this:

http://toledotalk.com/last-alarm.html - (blatant copyright violation. will remove later.)

Instead of this:

http://www.toledoblade.com/Police-Fire/2014/01/31/Last-Alarm-rings-for-fallen-heroes.html

or this:

I don't need a printed paper version. I don't need an app. I prefer one website that responds comfortably on all devices, loads fast, no mountains of JavaScript bilge, no huge irrelevant images, no ads, no trackers and other gobbledygook that bog down page load speed, a large-ish font size to make the text visible, and a lot of negative space on the page.

I see no need for a bunch of navigation links in the header and footer areas of an article page. The only link needed is a link to the home page. The reader can find all the site's link cruft on the home page.

I'd pay a lot for that. Give non-paying customers the hideous views.

While not perfect, good design ideas for an article page can be obtained from this site:
