From Gawker:
The Boston Globe rolled out a handsome new website, and it’s exemplary: No confusing mess of links, no upchuck of annoying ugly ads, and, best of all, no special crippled version for the iPhone or iPad.
Open the site on a regular computer and try slowly squeezing the browser window from full width down to a quarter or an eighth of your screen. The layout progressively and intelligently resizes itself, hiding section links, scaling photos, and resizing fonts.
“Stunning,” writes outspoken designer Jason Santa Maria. “Fascinating,” writes Daring Fireball publisher John Gruber. “The design is uncluttered and reader-friendly. How many newspaper website designs can you say that about?” Not many.
The catch?
It’s all going behind a paywall very soon.
Bah.
