Regular readers will have noticed legalweek.com has gone through a substantial upgrade this week, its second since its groundbreaking relaunch in 2007. I’ll spare you most of the back-room jargon beyond saying that the primary reason was to move our web operating system to a new and much-improved platform, but the switch has allowed us to review a number of elements of the site.
Firstly, the general design up been improved with a more modern look and better use of images, which contributes to a punchier homepage. Site navigation – an element we worked very hard on with legalweek.com’s initial relaunch – should now be even easier as we have added additional tags making it easier to move between micro-sites such as Law Firms and Wiki. We have also added additional practice area tags like corporate finance and litigation, as you can see on this Clifford Chance story. Overall, the use of links and ability to read related material should make for an improved experience.
