Redesigned 85239.com to feature multiple sections

27

Something readers will notice in the redesigned inmaricopa.com when it launches is that instead of all the news appearing under one header, there will be sections for different content areas.

Those sections will operate somewhat like a newspaper’s sections. News will continue to be at the top of the home page, where you have come to expect it. But if you are specifically interested in Education or Real Estate, for example, you will be able to go directly to those content areas.

What you will see on the home page will be six sub-areas with news bites and thumbnails, much like our current top of the news sections. When you click on one of those areas, you not only will open onto the story presented, you’ll move into the content-specific section. Other stories about that subject will be displayed and archived there, making it easier and more convenient to find what you’re looking for.

Given that the amount and importance of news varies among content areas, there probably will continue to be more stories in News than say Real Estate, so don’t expect all the sections to have as much new articles as the prime ones.

In addition to News, the sections will be Business, Community, Education, Real Estate, Sports and Opinion. If it turns out that Maricopans are more interested in another subject area, we may change those subject areas. As you become accustomed to the new sections, let us know what you think, which ones you find useful and which you do not.
