The previous design was highly dependent on text-heavy story teasers that varied in length from day to day, resulting in a hard-to-manage front page. Further, it provided limited expandability and did not take advantage of the powerful capabilities of the Drupal CMS. The goals of the redesign included less body text on the front page, hooks for supplementary content, and a robust system for managing content through Drupal's back-end. 

Information Architecture work began with a sitemap, including sub-branded sites, and included wireframes to illustrate the site's functionality.

The BlueprintCSS typographical grid was employed to provide a highly modular design with greatly improved readability. 

Article pages included room for supplementary content within the story column and contextual links along the side.
