Over the past few months you may have noticed the new Sunlight logo or caught a glimpse of the redesigns on our Tumblr or Twitter pages and gathered that a site refresh was right around the bend.

Well, you are correct.

Sunlight’s Creative Director Ali Felski wrote a bit about the process back in January of this year and October late last year which has included many months of design, feedback, tests and tweaks. After all that hard work we’re ready to announce the launch of the redesign of our main site.  Ali and the design team collaborated with the entire Sunlight staff to gather input and ideas on how our site can better reflect our mission while giving users the best possible experience.

Along with our new streamlined look we worked hard to create accessible content through simplified navigation, eye catching iconography and enhanced discovery.

It’s easier than before to find relevant content by topic, issue, project type and traditional search. Whether you’re interested in the latest news from the family of Sunlight blogs or would like to review the latest open government issues or you want to participate in the movement we want to make this process as simple as possible.

Please take a look around and if you have a moment we would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section below.

Wait…we’re not done yet!

We continue to work toward a better user experience, and are currently readying a handful of additional changes and features to the Sunlight site. We will continue to create an accessible and engaging experience, so stay tuned and do share your suggestions!
