That site is a textbook example of how NOT to design a website. Any college student turning that in to the Prof. would be summarily flunked for the semester....

I'm sure she must wince at some of the ways it's been, um, executed. And I wish I could support Srajan's pay-for-play decision. That that's a great looking site, IMO.
I would also give high marks to presentation and delivery.
If you maintain a link directly to reviews (previews and upcoming, though better presented in the opposite of the current order) it is really quite simple.
As for dated, well I find most of the competition looks like complete dogs in comparison.
Never trust an Atom, they Make Up everything!

Dave will disagree with me (actually he already has), but I think TONE Audio has the best production values of any audio magazine out there.
Actually they've been making moves recently to breakout of the PDF only presentation for obvious reason.
I only recently unsubscribed from their emailer.

Yeah, they're going to be available on the Apple Newsstand.
Nob-San's graphics work was quite nice. But as a website it's looking a bit dated, and yes, the execution leaves much to be desired.
When I first visited that site, and yes, it's been quite a few years now, I thought it was one of the most attractive, inventive, and creative websites I'd ever laid eyes on. Before I retired I headed a 150-person marketing communications, advertising, and PR firm that, among many other things, created web sites for clients, so I'm not exactly unaware of the field.
I'll agree with you that after all this time it DOES look "a bit dated," and that certainly isn't Kuma's doing. I never found it hard to follow or navigate, though (just looked at it this morning) and the photography -- considered a distraction by some -- continues to be stunning, IMO.
but photography of WHAT?
A stunning photograph of the equipment under review? A stunning photograph of a piece being not under review but being used during the review? A stunning photograph that is merely part of an advertisement, stuck in the middle of the review? What am I seeing here? Looks really great but, to be honest, I've never liked the layout of his site and I'm friends with a couple of his regular reviewer, who I do TRY to follow.
I try, honest. ;-)
with pics sprinkled throughout the writing. I'm sure this is to prevent full-blown copies of articles but I'm also certain there are ways around that as well.
IMPOSSIBLE to read and make any sense of.
A really nice looking MESS!
