I’m on an older monitor today… Reply mackenzi March 7th, 2013 It actually looks a bit darker to me too (and we did ask our designer to change it)! We’re happy to take suggestions. Reply AstoriaJ March 7th, 2013 mackenzi, The new link color on the newer entries looks great! Thanks for listening. Reply JohnO March 6th, 2013 Great job on the new site, I would echo the sentiment about the light color tone being a bit difficult to see; besides that it look and navigates perfectly. As a returning Astorian after a decade on the road the town has changed SO much – I plan to come back often to your site and learn my town all over again! All the best, hope it’s a smashing success!!!! Reply mackenzi March 7th, 2013 We’re looking into changing the light blue. We agree, it’s a tad bit hard to read. Thanks for the feedback! Reply Patti March 4th, 2013 I Love Astoria! And the new website! Can’t wait for my next visit!!!! June I hope. Reply AstoriaJ March 4th, 2013 I love the new site, but the light blue hyperlinks are a bit hard to read. Just a few shades darker would help them stand out from the background. Keep up the good work! Reply AstoriaHaiku March 4th, 2013 LOVING the new layout, looks amazing and it suits you guys so well. Can’t wait to contribute! Reply Nuno Faustino March 4th, 2013 It was such a great pleasure working with you and redesigning the website! As an Astoria resident, and somebody that loves it here, I’ve been following WHA since you guys started it, and it feels amazing to be a part of the team. I wish you the best and I hope the new website helps you achieve all the goals you have for WHA. Reply Maiah March 4th, 2013 Many congratulations, We Heart Astoria team! The new website is beautiful, can’t wait to explore it further! Xx, Maiah Reply Leave a Reply to AstoriaHaiku Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
