Big news! Within the next couple days we’re rolling out a design overhaul on Network Sites. We believe these changes will deliver some much needed functionality improvements as well as provide a cleaner, warmer look. Here’s an overview of the changes you can expect to see:
New Color Scheme
We wanted an updated and stylish look that still conveys the warmth and approachability of our sites. Working with a professional designer, we chose the orange and light blue scheme because we felt it best communicated the friendliness and approachability of an informative site with such a wide and unique range of information by everyday experts.
New Menu Structure
With the introduction of the new design, readers will be able to more easily browse the categories on each site using the “More” menu in the upper left. You will be able to simply click the menu to display all topics and subtopics on the site.
Fully Responsive Articles
To begin with, this change will only be live on TatRing.com, though we plan to roll out the responsive design to all sites within the next few weeks. Here’s a list of features the new responsive article design will include:
- Improved ad layout with different ad placements for mobile, tablet, and desktop viewing.
- Social sharing options that appear at the top of the article on mobile devices.
- An improved About the Author Bio (if you haven’t yet created your Bios yet, we highly recommend doing so, as the new design looks much better with text in this section).
- Improved tablet design with better readability.
Flipboard & Email Buttons Added
Easily email or Flip articles onto Flipboard from Network Sites using these new options that have been added to the social sharing section.
For now, we will only be applying these changes to Network Sites and not to HubPages.com. Our engineers have been working tirelessly to implement these improvements, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. We hope you love the new design as much as we do!
