St. Augustine FL Record
Content ****_ Usability XX___
A simple but unwieldy design consisting of a front page with 48 links and descriptions. The front page fills 50 screenfulls on my 128x160 px reference phone which displays 11 lines of text. The front page is 13.7 KB in size which is too large for some phones to load. I doubt anyone will want to scroll through 50 screens to find and read all of the articles. Fortunately, the most important stories for a local news site - the local news stories - are at the top of the page. The ever popular obituaries are buried near the bottom. The Record's articles are quite nice with considerable depth and there are a lot of them. In addition to the 50 articles linked off the home page there are links to related stories at the end of many articles. Some of the news stories have photos (up to 200px wide) which is still somewhat unusual for local news sites.
