gearnews.com relaunch help

Post by stonevibe » Mon Feb 13, 2017 1:37 am

Hi people,

We've relaunched the site with a new layout today and so would appreciate any feedback you have and of course any issues you may get with the new look.

If you have any specific problems, can you let me know what OS, Hardware etc you are using and I can then feed it back to the guys that build the layout.

Cheers

Jef

Well I for one am glad to see you posting the link, because a while back I searched fruitlessly for a link to a previous article you'd posted. Can' t say I remember enough about the previous site layout to compare it to the new look, but for what it's worth the site looks cleanly laid out (if somewhat generic) and easy to navigate.

I checked it out on iPhone and it seemed to load slowly.

Clicked on a couple of articles that loaded slowly as well, but faster than the main site. Maybe a mobile conversion issue?

The articles that I read were concise and well written and the subjects highlighted gear that I wasn't familiar with, so good on that!

Oh yeah, I completely forgot to comment on the content. I'm toying with the idea of going down the Linux road, and the articles you have on that platform seem like they will be a good resource if I do.

Cheers for all the comments and any suggestions on layout, menu system etc
