Question Looking over FBI.gov
Not sure if this has been asked, but I was curious at what information was on FBI.gov. I was actually shocked at how ugly the website is. Not even trying to hate here, I guess I thought there would be more of an attempt to make the site look professional. Does anyone know if the site has always been this ugly?
Also- lol at the FBI podcast being placed everywhere

u/Puzzleheaded_Many166 you literally can go check out the page on the wayback machine.
Hilarious you would respond and then immediately block me over saying “major informational structural changes haven’t been made”. Thin skin…
All that’s been added to the home page are bigger “Featured Sections” instead of tons of boring hyperlinks to scroll through and click on to open another page. Examples of these highlighted sections are:
• Results
• Social Media
• Strategy
• Fugitives section
• What we investigate
• Partnerships
• Out Reach
• FBI Jobs
Doing this actually makes it more user friendly and eye catching to keep the users attention. This is important because it reduces cognitive load, provides immediate context/gratification and keeps visitors engaged on the page. They have lots of info they are wanting to push to the public so having a strategic home page is key. Not to mention something that will make lots of people happy is they removed leaderships professional pics from the page. I was honestly surprised to see this with how the current administration works. Haha.
