We've made a few changes to Dezeen which hopefully will make it easier for people to navigate the site and find what they want, without detracting from the clarity and simplicity of our layout.Â
The first change is that it's now much easier to navigate from www.dezeen.com - which we've renamed Dezeen Magazine - to our other sites, via the links that appear to the left of the logo. Dezeen Screen, our video site, already shares this navigation while Dezeen Jobs will be updated soon. Dezeen Wire - our newswire service - is due to come on stream soon, with a site of its own and an enhanced daily news service.
The biggest change to Dezeen Magazine is visible in the right-hand column. First, we have divided our content up into the three most popular areas - architecture, interiors and design - and each now has its own easy-to-remember URL:
www.dezeen.com/architecture
www.dezeen.com/interiors
www.dezeen.com/design
As Dezeen continues to grow these will become sites in their own right, with www.dezeen.com serving as the entry point to all our content streams.
Further down the right-hand column we've introduced an enhanced navigation structure, providing more links to categories under the architecture, design and interiors headings plus also providing links through to Dezeen Screen, Dezeen Jobs and our watch store.
We've tidied up a few other areas of the site and introduced a number of other improvements. The changes are part of a major recoding of the site that should make it faster and easier to browse Dezeen's family of sites while also providing a platform for some exciting growth plans we have lined up for the near future.
We are still debugging the site so please let us know if you spot anything that doesn't work properly, and let us know what you think!
Love from Dezeen
