Your favourite online news source, SowetanLIVE, has launched its slick, user-friendly new website.
You've had a sneak peek of our beta site and gave us some much-appreciated feedback on it. Now we are ready to introduce our new baby.
We have noted and applied some of your suggestions and believe we have created a website that will offer a great experience to all our readers.
Here are some of the comments we received:
A recap of what to expect on the new site
We have made browsing the site less of a chore through a simpler navigation bar, so you can move from one section to another and find the latest stories with ease.
The site is also fully responsive, meaning our page layouts will adjust automatically to make our articles a breeze to read on any mobile device.
Old favourites such as the comment section, Picture of the Day and the Wedding Blog will still be available.
While fake news has become a problem on the internet, SowetanLIVE’s technology includes the use of the secure HTTPS web publishing protocol to safeguard the website from third-party attacks and hijacking. This will protect readers from malware and guarantees that content originates from SowetanLIVE’s trusted newsroom.
