Hollywood Reporter site rolls out clean redesign

A sequel that’s better than the original! A must surf! If you visit one site today… They’re not announcing it until Monday, but you can now check out the redesign of the Hollywood Reporter website. It is following the welcome trend of focusing on the content instead of overdesigning the site. It no longer tries to look like the magazine, and is a major overall improvement. Good RSS breakout by section. And LR Pal Steve Bryant’s blog, Reel Pop gets prominent placement on the front. The site also doesn’t try to give the hard sell to subscribe to its dead trees version. Overall, I really like what they’ve started here - now let’s see a ton of video. The HR is ideally positioned to have lots and lots of broadband video on its site. They’ve got the right ad market to profit off video clips. Grade: Boffo.
