New Site, Same Spirit: Experience the NEW HEXUS

[DR]

Welcome to the new-look HEXUS website. As you can see, we've been working away behind the scenes to bring you a number of design improvements and we're very, very proud to introduce you to a beta of our new online home.

All of our content is still here - including the latest news and reviews in text and video - but our editorial and developer teams have worked together to make it all easier to consume, share and enjoy.



We've got a streamlined new look that has been carefully developed to prominently label our most important articles, and we've worked hard to maintain the HEXUS feel that our regular readers have come to enjoy.

Our entire catalogue of stories - from across the Technology, Consumer Electronics, Gaming, Business and Mobile channels - has been integrated into our homepage to make it easier for you to find what you want, when you want, and we've got a ton of new features ready to be introduced throughout the beta period.

What's changed:

• A fresh new look with more room for the latest HEXUS reviews
• Prominent labeling of key stories - including event coverage and competitions
• Content from across all the HEXUS websites now viewable on a single, streamlined page
• Tighter links with social networks, making it easier for you to share the stories you like with whoever you like
• Seamless integration of video content
• A new mobile site for quick on-the-go access to the latest HEXUS content
• HEXUS Alerts - a new way to keep up with the latest developments in your topic of choice
• A completely revamped search engine that'll help you find exactly what you're looking for

What's staying the same:

• All of our content is still here, with the latest news presented in a clear and concise manner
• We'll continue to bring you the best hardware reviews on the web
• Each story will remain tied to the HEXUS forums for comments and discussion
• Simplicity; the HEXUS site will remain easy to use and we've made sure you can get straight to the content you want to read

None of this would be possible without the people who make it happen, so Tarinder, Parm and the rest of the editorial team would like to say a big thank you to our wizard developers, Jon Aylard and Steve Kerrison, our graphics guru, Luke Willson, our founding father, David Ross, and of course all of our readers from around the world. Thank you.

We might experience a few kinks in the system at launch (hence the beta), but we're working hard to make our way toward a complete release, so stay tuned - there's plenty more in store!

So please feel free to check it out and post feedback either in the feedback form, or within this thread.

AWESOME! So much better, thanks!

[Bagnaj97]

It's a lot... squarer. Looks good though

[Stringent]

Yup, nice clean fresh look. Good job guys. Have a coffee.

[Hoonigan]

Well it's instantly a lot less sluggish on my iPhone so that's good, that was one of the main reasons I avoided the HEXUS site on my phone.

The layout is a bit crammed though, like you've tried to fit too much into one page for no real reason.

Overall, good job! Nice one guys

Well if you hit http://m.HEXUS.net that should resolve that.

It's cramped on a small screen no doubt

Loving the new look and feel, instantly a lot less cluttered, can see what you are looking for straight off the bat, speeds are certainly a massive improvement too

Gorgeous DR.

And the new site isn't bad either.

[roachcoach]

It's much easier on the eye, I like it.

But you wanted moaning so there's a distinct lack of <redacted> <redacted> <redacted> for me to drool and <redacted> over.

[Hoonigan]

Well if you hit [Not allowed to post URLs] that should resolve that.

It's cramped on a small screen no doubt

How long has that been knocking about for? Much much easier to use on a mobile device!

[kalniel]

It's gorgeous, but I can't see links very easily - only a barely visible grey line denotes a link.

[Terbinator]

Is our 'My Hexus' and Forum accounts linked no so it isn't a hassle to get our Trust?

[MadduckUK]

Running the risk of DR dying from shock at my lack of negativity, but I have to say i like it - clean and fresh is right
