FDA Launchs A Newly Redesigned Public Website.


FDA has launched the newly redesigned public website. Even if I knew about the upcoming change, it was a bit of a shok, not to have the familiar web interface. I am still a bit lost as I gather information and track down the RSS feeds that I was relying on for food and drug recalls, newly approved drugs etc. The site was launched on April 26. If you find the need to provide a feedback or to make future improvements suggestions, send comments and questions to OCwebmail@FDA.HHS.GOV.
FDA's Goals for this change.
  • Remodeled webpages that can be viewed on any internet-ready device
  • Easier access to popular content
  • Updated navigation based on data and audience behavior
  • Easier to find FDA content in search results
  • Better consistency of FDA content across web and social channels
Steps to Improvement
Here are some of the things FDA is doing to improve FDA.gov:
  • Using data to archive and expire webpages that aren’t being used, consolidating similar content/renaming page titles to reduce redundancy so it’s easier for online audiences to find what they are looking for.
  • Adding stronger and more relevant metadata to the webpages to optimize them for search and social media.
  • Updating FDA.gov’s design to provide more visuals and interactive content. Overall the site will have a more modern look-and-feel. FDA content will appear consistently regardless of web and social channels.
  • Upgrading to a modern publishing platform ensures that our content is accessible anywhere, anytime and on any device.
