Updated: We usually don’t cover too many site relaunches, but a very nice redesign of Times Online in UK, the website for The Times newspaper, in some senses following the lead of stateside Times, that is, NYTimes.com is stripping back and going for a magazine-ish design.
Many new features: blogs from Times journalists and columnists; embedded audio and video throughout the site; New video series “Cool in Your Code”, an ongoing series unpicking hidden London postcode by postcode; Your World: travel experiences / images and more uploaded from interactive map developed with NewsCorp sibling, Harper Collins.
More details on redesign here.
Updated: The company says it has invested about $20 million in the design, IT, editorial, and marketing of the site, and has been profitable since 2002.
