We're delighted to welcome you to the new Remodelista, which we've been working on behind the scenes for several months now.
You might remember our questionnaire asking for reader feedback a while ago; we took note of your thoughtful suggestions and observations and incorporated your ideas (better search capabilities! easier commenting! huge photos!). In addition, we've combined some of the best features of a magazine (weekly issue themes, larger images on our post pages) with the power of the web to create a richer reader experience.
Here are a few of the features we're excited about:
- Read Anywhere: Our new layout adjusts to mobile devices (iPhones, iPads, or any other mobile or tablet device), while maintaining the integrity of the site layout.
- City Guides: Our new City Guides feature more than 1,000 posts on hotels, lodging, and restaurants all over the world, organized by location.
- Improved Search and Navigation: You can now search by room, color, and type of product, from bathroom fixtures to flooring.
- Enhanced Sharing: Share content more easily via Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest.
- Improved Comments: You'll be able to see (and make comments) immediately.
- Better Balance Between Content and Ads. As part of SAY's Clean Campaign, we'll be featuring a single spotlight ad, eliminating clutter and highlighting content. Read more at SAY.
This is just the beginning. Over the next few months, we'll be introducing more new enhancements and welcoming a roster of contributing editors (including paint expert Eve Ashcraft, among others). We hope you enjoy the new and improved Remodelista, and we'd love to hear your thoughts!
N.B.: A huge thank you to SAY's talented in-house Media Lab (thanks, Alex, William, Adrian, and Amy!) in San Francisco, who worked tirelessly on the Remodelista redesign.
