If you're one of the 6 million monthly readers of The Denver Post, we're pleased to announce the launch of a new digital experience, one that finally matches the quality of our journalism.
We have heard your complaints that our website is too slow, cluttered with annoying ads and is difficult to navigate.
Starting Monday, DenverPost.com will be transformed inside and out. It starts with a clean, modern design optimized for any screen, with fewer, but better ads. Navigation will make more sense, and the site will load in a snap.
Because more than half of our readers come to us on their mobile device, we have improved the experience for smaller screens, including the ability to easily play video and view our slideshows. And we focused our design efforts on the place you spend the most time — the articles themselves.
We're using a best-in-class publishing platform, WordPress. As a testament to its simplicity and functionality, WordPress powers 26 percent of the world's websites.
One of the benefits of this new technology is that we can bring fast-moving news to you as it happens. This means that as news breaks, you can turn to The Denver Post no matter where you are — your laptop, phone, email inbox or even in your Facebook or Twitter feeds — and know that The Post will have the best-reported and most up-to-date information without delay.
The site, which has been a year in the making, is a collaboration among The Denver Post, our parent company Digital First Media, and Alley Interactive, which specializes in building websites for publishers on WordPress.
While we are excited about the changes, we know we haven't gotten everything right. We also know change can be hard, so keep an open mind as you explore the new design. We will be continuing to tweak functionality — both big and small — based on your feedback. What do you like? What isn't working for you? Please send your thoughts to feedback@denverpost.com.
