Our new look

So, what do you think of it so far?

Thanks to the herculean efforts of the The Voice’s Ryan, we’ve got a new look and new features. The biggest change on the home page is the introduction of three featured stories at the top, so that the best content can stay prominent for longer without being pushed aside by the latest blog posts.

There are also many changes which reflect the declining proportion of our audience who sit at a computer and come to the home page. Whether you view the site on the move (new mobile version), like using a news reader (nice big RSS sign up button), prefer getting information via email (check out our email lists in the top right) or stumble upon us via search engines (lots of search engine friendliness added), you should find the site is better for you.

It’s a big and in some ways quite complicated site though. So if you spot anything broken, think anything isn’t clear or feel something could be done better, please let us know. If you really, really want, you can even say nice things too.

  • I quite like the clean look and not bothered by the click here to read more as that is what we did on the old version anyway.

    I do think the forum where I did most of my posts is going to be key for me, its currently not visible, guess there is still work to do in that area

    Good clear site and looking forward to see what it looks like on my non-3G mobile

  • It’s terrible!

  • Functional design seems good, artistic wise it seems abit unfinished / uncoordinated each item looks good (hand drawn stuff in top right is cool) but it doesn’t really feel like it goes together? altho I am reading on a tiny AA1 sooo ymmv!

    Like the new design but where has lib dem blogs gone to?

    http://www.libdemblogs.co.uk/

    Could it be a fourth tab next to Most Read/op-eds/recent comments?

  • Aesthetically and functionally awful. No offense like, but that’s the truth.

    I liked the recent comments and most read nearer the top of the page – now I have to scroll to see them. I like the new banner and think the site is quite a bit cleaner.

  • Agree with Sara about LibDem blogs – please, please re-instate the feeds for those of us that don’t have the time to bookmark (and read) N LD Blogs regularly!!
