Major facelift is the first thing that you will notice. It just has a fresher and more updated look. I was in charge of redesigning the site and developing the site functionality to improve site performance as well as user's experience. The old site was built on drupal 5, instead of just upgrading straight to drupal 6, we decided to rebuild it from the ground up, including cleaning up extra pages and databases, and restructuring.
With the extra time spent on the project, we optimized drupal true potential as a community framework to drive the site.
All said and done. I am very pleased with the end result and excited what the improvement of the site would do to the traffic.
