The promised redesign of the SLD Web site has appeared. Of course, I don't like it. I knew where everything was, now I'm hunting around. However, the information that a beginner needs is easier to get to, so I won't complain.
One change I don't like: changing www.sl.universalservice.org to www.universalservice.org/sl/. There are bookmarks to the old address all over the place, many of them in print. And I just don't see a compelling reason for the change. And old pages seem largely to still be there, and do not send users to the new page, if a new one exists. (For example, www.sl.universalservice.org/apply/step2.asp does not send the user to www.universalservice.org/sl/applicants/step02/technology-planning/default.aspx.) Now they'll have to edit every old page to make it send users to the new pages.
The Search tool seems to work a lot better. However, the text boxes blend into the header a bit, and when you go to the "Search Tools" page, there is no mention of the Search page or the Advanced Search page.
