Coming soon: a new look and feel
for the TBAE website
The TBAE Web site was born 23 years ago, the same
year Dawson's Creek premiered, Seinfeld ended, Titanic
won an Oscar, and the Dallas Cowboys were coached
by Chan Gailey. In other words, it was a long time ago.
Since the launch of the TBAE site in 1998, we have
uncovered evidence of at least one redesign-but
since no current TBAE staff were on hand when that
happened, it's unknown whether that was the only
facelift or if perhaps there were others. But what we do
know, for sure, is that later this year the site will be
thoroughly overhauled to be fresh, more readable, easier
to navigate, and generally improved in many respects.
Broadly speaking, aHl the same content and resources
you know and use will remain on the site, but with what
we hope is a more intuitive layout and navigation scheme.
And we'll be adding a section to the site that's specifi-
cally directed toward the very people who consume
the design services that registrantslike you offer.
(A note here that our site's content found on the public
portions of the site will be refreshed as part of this project.Pages found inside a user's account-that is, pages
you see after logging into your account with Username
and Password-will be overhauled in the future.)
We're still working on the site redesign, so we don't
yet have a release date, but we're expecting the
relaunch to take place perhaps this Fall. As with aHl
comprehensive site overhauls, we're not expecting
perfection in the first days and weeks-there surely will
be an incorrect link here and a missing graphic there,
but our goal and our commitment is to fix and finalize
the site as soon and as comprehensively as possible.
As an aside, I would point out how nerve-wracking it
is for people with virtually no design expertise-such
as me and the in-house team working on the new
site-to overhaul a product that needs to look great
and function properly... for thousands of actual design
professionals.
Once the site is up and running, though, feel free
to let us know what you think of the new site, make
suggestions, etc. My philosophy is that our site is as
much for you, our registrants and candidates, as it is
for any other audience, and we want to make sure it
works for everyone.2
