The interface of our Focallocal website was last updated years ago and it needs a little touch up!
Things you can improve on our pages include:
Our website is still functional as of today, but making it more cohesive and fun to look at will surely attract viewers to engage with our mission 
Yes, i agree its terrible. It needs a complete rebuild actually as it is incredibly slow. I would be open to the idea of rebuilding the Magazine area in React or Ruby on Rails too if anyone thinks that would be a better way forwards. The Single Sign On plugin works but adds an unnecessary layer of complexity.
I added the ux-design tag and we can tag the @UXers team here as their input will be needed to improve the design.
Note: its important that logged in users can create their own articles on our platform and submit them for review and editing… i wonder if their is a discourse plugin/theme component we can use to turn a category here into a good community Magazine
