I
haven’t read or touched Alternet since last year and when returning today I must confess I’m impressed with the site’s layout that it makes me wonder what they are running on their backend. (Compare it with the 2004 site).
Previously, a favourite for clean layout was Maisonneuve, the artsy (Quebec based) online publication. Compare that with today’s site: it’s horrendous. Obviously, they run Drupal (note that The Onion’s migration to Drupal actually went pretty good: you can’t tell it’s on Drupal).
