Blog View: Mile High Sports’ tidy new web site will be a great place for us to steal ideas.
Our pals at Mile High Sports have relaunched their web site. We love the changes they’ve made.
The new site features a super-clean design in the same general style of Deadspin and Grantland.com. The home page offers recent original content addressing the latest stories surrounding all four major local teams as well as the College sports scene along with boxes featuring the latest standings in the various leagues.
Advertising is tastefully placed and unobtrusive.
The site represents the latest step in MHS’ development into a go-to source for Denver Sports news and opinion. Despite its fantastic articles, the site had been a bit the weak spot in the MHS mix, which includes Mile High Sports Magazine and a talk radio station (FM93.7 AM1510). That’s no longer the case. With the relaunch, MHS instantly becomes a direct competitor the the Denver Post’s blog where web content is concerned.
Bloggers Andrew Mason, Chris Dolge, Darren McKee (Dmac), Josh Pennock, James Merilatt, Doug Ottewill, Garrett Duman and various guest writers will offer extensive content, making MHS web a daily stop for those of us looking for ideas to steal. They can’t say “motherfucker”, though. Thus, This site remains a daily stop, too.
If I have a criticism of the new layout, it’s that the upper navigation links do not offer drag-down menus. That’s an easy thing to fix. Congratulations, Mile High Sports! Looks great!
