The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's ajc.com was ranked 8th in a 2008 list of top 10 newspaper sites by Web consulting firm the Bivings Group, the company said Thursday.
Bivings, a Washington-based Internet communications company, develops Web programs for corporations, trade associations, advocacy groups, political candidates and nonprofits.
The firm's annual list is compiled based on the 100 largest newspapers in the United States and by "their abundance of Web features," design and usability, the company said.
Bivings gave top 10 billing to Web sites of the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal.
"The other Web sites on the list are good company to be in, and I think their comments are a nice validation of the nice improvements that we've tried to bring our readers in the site updating work we've been doing in January," said Hyde Post, the AJC's vice president, Internet.
Ajc.com and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution are owned by Cox Enterprises Inc. Ajc.com launched a redesign of its Web site in January.
"We continue to review the feedback that our users are sending us, and we'll continue to improve the experience," Post said.
