MedCity News rolled out its latest design upgrades last night — consider it Version 2.1 of the redesign we unveiled about two months ago. These changes are meant to provide anyone visiting MedCity more opportunities to click and read more content. We also tightened up our “channels” (the sections of the site listed in the blue bar at the top).
You’ll notice a few things primarily (though there are several tinkers): the channels have been moved, our top navigation area has been condensed and we’ve added a “hot topics” section — certain stories or subjects selected by MedCity’s editor that are popular or hot-button issues.
We’ve also added an Innovation Cities section that displays our stories by the city they’re coming from. MedCity News has always tried to be the one virtual metropolis (MEDtropolis?) where all innovators congregate. But, as we all know, there’s a lot of action in a set number of core cities. So you can browse by geography from there.
The Top 5 Home Care Franchise Opportunities in the U.S.
The home care industry is booming. As Baby Boomers age and more families seek in-home solutions for loved ones, demand for home care services is at an all-time high.
When you click on a story you’ll see you have more choices to browse the site. Along with the story you’re reading, you’ll see above it links to some of the most important stories on the site that day as well as a link in a blue box on the right-hand column to another story we’ve published recently.
We also added a “startups” channel and eliminated our investing and jobs sections. There continues to be an unending interest across all sectors on what the latest startups are up to. Meanwhile, stories in our jobs and investing sections will remain, they will just be distributed into other sections when appropriate, such as medical device, pharma, etc.
We’re going to keep making improvements — and there will likely be a couple of kinks and glitches that come with any tech changes. I want your feedback — many of these changes are made because of surveys we’ve done in the past. So, please connect with me any time at [email protected].
