Our New Site,
What a Sight!
I
f you've visited MyPRINTResource.com lately, you no doubt have
noticed some big changes—especially in how the site looks and oper-
ates. We rolled out a responsive website design in early February. The
new design changes as your viewing device window resizes, so content
"magically" fts into whatever view you currently have—from three
columns all the way down to one—and translates very well to other
devices, such as iPads, tablets, and smartphones.
So what's changed with the new site? Nothing and everything: All of the
content that you have come to love and expect on MyPRINTResource.com
from Quick Printing, Wide-Format Imaging, Inkjet's Age, and Printing News is
all still there, but it's been organized into channels to better enable users
to more easily find information that pertains to their interests and needs.
The homepage itself now provides an endless scroll, with the newest con-
tent added to the site at the top of the page. You also have easy access to the
latest videos in the Media Center module, which stays front and center. And
no matter where you go on the site, clicking on the MPR logo in the top left
will bring you right back home.
Users have quick access to their online user accounts, contact information,
the ability to subscribe to newsletters as well as print and digital publica-
tions, and information about how to advertise in any of our brands directly
from the homepage.
Now, in each block of content, you will notice a colored tag, indicating
the content channel to which that item applies—and that leads to our new
navigation. Across the top of the site, you'll see our new easier navigation
through the use of the new color-coded channels. If your window isn't open
wide enough to show all of the channels across the top, you will see a nifty
drop-down on the left next to the MPR logo that will allow easy access to
them.
The content on the site has been divided into 11 channels. All content
in each channel—articles, blogs, press releases, news, products, podcasts,
media galleries, videos, documents, white papers, webinars, etc.—that popu-
lates the page will be on that specific topic. Clicking into any item will let
you read further, and then as you scroll to the end of the item it will circle
you right back into more related content—based on the channel you are in.
Additionally, along the top navigation bar you'll see a search feature and
an additional drop-down menu, which allows users to access additional
resources such as the event calendar, the print magazine pages, career list-
ings, online classifieds, your online user account, advertising information,
contacts, and also all of the special content that we feature each year—the
QP Top 100, the WFI Top Shops, the Sign and Commercial Print Franchise
Reviews, and the QP and WFI Top Product Awards—all in one place.
So please take some time and check it out—on multiple devices—and let
us know how it's working for you.
(Credit and kudos to my colleague Denise Gustavson, who summarized
this strategy succinctly in her editor's column for Wide-Format Imaging last
month, from which I borrowed heavily.)
