What independent magazines can teach the web

Open any good independent magazine and you will notice how little it asks of you. There is a contents page, a clear voice and a paper stock that suits the stories.

The web can borrow all of that without a single printing press.

Editing is design

Pacing, pull quotes and the space between pieces are editorial decisions as much as visual ones. The best publications treat them that way.

If your site feels like a feed, try making it feel like an issue.
