NWADG refreshes website, mobile app

A note from Editor Rusty Turner:

The Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s newly redesigned website for mobile and desktop platforms debuted Sunday.

Readers and viewers will receive the same award-winning content and hard-hitting journalism at nwadg.com, but in a cleaner, more appealing format.

The changes were made based on reader feedback. However, your additional thoughts and recommendations are welcomed. Please visit nwadg.com and answer the redesign survey questions.

Improvements readers and viewers should notice immediately include:

■ Faster load times.

■ Responsive layout that improves both the appearance and functionality of the site regardless of the device used to access it. The improvement to the mobile web experience is especially significant.

■ A front page that emphasizes the most important stories of the day and the latest breaking news items.

■ Better navigation, accessible from the top left corner of the screen and easy access to the e-Edition replica newspaper, puzzles, local news and other sections of the paper.

■ Larger photos, more videos.

■ Larger text on story pages and improved tools for social media sharing and engagement.
