A New Look to FAS.org
By Monica Amarelo
FAS was among the first organizations to publish material online and the website is a premier destination on the internet (http://www.fas.org). The redesign is the first major renovation of the site since 2003.
The most obvious change is the look and feel. Most content is organized by the three main program areas – strategic security, information technologies and energy and the environment – and via the horizontal navigation along the top of the page . The new layout better organizes the site’s hundred thousand pages and images to make it easier to find information. The new design also takes advantage of new technologies such as video stream.
The FAS website has grown since 1995 to provide a rich set of resources that is used by more than a million unique visitors a month. The site is a valuable resource for other organizations with almost 8,000 websites linking to the FAS.org homepage. FAS.org is often the only place to find documents and reports that were once widely available through other websites.
The new site is a work in progress. In the coming months new options and sections will be added to make it easier to share useful information on the FAS site. Please send your comments and suggestions to press@fas.org. FAS
