I came on as the lead designer at The Business Journals late last year after this redesign was launched -- and while I disagree with the 99.5% number -- I agree 100% that there was lots of room for improvement.

And that's why we're rolling out a redesign of the main homepage in a couple of weeks:

There are a lot of factors at work with the design of any homepage, and that was certainly the case with the current design -- really tight deadline, new CMS, work was contracted out to a design agency, etc.

But our great local business reporting deserved better and I'm happy to say we're getting there.
