NewsOK launches new mobile site for smart devices

Monday was one of my favorite days as NewsOK’s Digital Managing Editor.

Why? We didn’t win an award that day, and we didn’t have a record day for web traffic.

No. Monday ranked so high because it was a great day for our audience. We launched a new website that is a drastic improvement for our fastest-growing segment of readers.

Here’s why I like it so much:

• It more accurately reflects the full website, but presents it in mobile-friendly display.
• It allows us to post mobile-specific content when appropriate.
• The articles will showcase our depth of multimedia content, including photos and videos.
• Our inside section fronts offer more than just a feed of stories, giving the user much more variety

So I’m excited about this upgrade to our product. Sure, we already had a mobile site. It really wasn’t a bad site. It was easy to use and easy to navigate. Compared to most other news websites, I think our previous mobile site was well above average.
