A few specific things he mentioned was the difficulty of fitting everything into just six boxes – they were thinking about expanding to eight, especially to split up “news” and “events” – but also that the color borders on the boxes were too big and dominating. It might be that, while the design is so new to non-SJ’ers, they’ve probably been looking at it for two or three years by now, and they’re ready for something new. I’m sure they had more reasons than this, but I still like it a lot.

Did they say what exactly they were going to change? What wasn’t working for them with that design?

@Cari: no, we didn’t do that. We have a link on our homepage to it, but otherwise it’s just always available at chelmsfordlibrary.org/anytime

@Amy: You’re welcome. Due to the time crunch, instead of building Library Anytime with responsive style sheets, instead we used OnePager for our mobile version. I think the amount of info we put into it pushes the design a bit, but it still works – and appropriately, OnePager is also some of Nate’s work.

I may borrow* it for the redesign of my school library site, which I am also trying to make mobile. (Big dreams for a single librarian.)
