I’m pleased to announce that I finally completed the redesign of the Little Green Footballs front page! The old, bloggy design with complete posts scrolling down the page one after another was long overdue for a reboot; it had been essentially unchanged for more than 10 years.

The new design emphasizes graphics much more, and lets you see more articles easily. It also lets you easily check on which articles have active comment sections, with auto-updated comment counters that have popups showing an excerpt of the last posted comment. I’ve redesigned many of the graphic elements to bring them more in line with the new, more modern aesthetic.

And of course, it’s fully mobile-friendly and automatically adapts to small screen sizes.

Right now the redesign is only for the front page, but I’ll be working on the rest of the site as well to make it consistent with the new look.

Hope you like it! I’m excited — it’s always fun to take a design that’s grown kind of stale and make it fresh again.
