Far Hills, N.J. – A new and improved USGA Web site, www.usga.org,
launched today and coincides with U.S. Open Media Day at Shinnecock
Hills (N.Y.) Golf Club. The 13-month project was guided by the
principle of making the site easier to navigate while streamlining,
organizing and tightening the presentation.
With the assistance of @tmosphere, the Web site design arm of
BBDO, the New York-based advertising agency the USGA uses for
its public-service announcements, the site was overhauled and
retooled with an emphasis on polishing the look without compromising
any of the vital content or the USGA's graphic standards.
Site visitors – whether they are interested in Rules, the Green
Section, Championships, Equipment Standards or Grants – will now
find a more efficient way to surf. A “bread-crumbs-style” collapsible
navigation bar on the left side of each page shows where a particular
user has visited. A revamped search engine that is powered by
Google technology is also new.Based on overwhelming data, resolution
is now 1024x768, a growing trend in the Web industry.
"Printer-friendly pages" have been added to satisfy
Mac and PC users, as well as flash images for aesthetics. And
download time has been improved.
Any questions should be directed to Ken Klavon, Web Editor
at kklavon@usga.org.
