Like an old Ford slogan once said, ‘Hot, handsome and a honey to handle!’ Carscoops today unveils a significantly redesigned and reengineered version of their mid-size platform with new features specifically targeted to appeal to customers around the globe. And if you didn’t get it by now, we’re mashing up PR language with our tongue firmly stuck in our cheek.
Now back to our serious face again, taking into consideration what many of you have told us since our last revamp that happened almost two years ago to this day, and which brought a responsive design into the mix, with the help of David Kutcher of Confluent Forms, we refreshed the design while keeping our user-friendly layout and KISS formula, implementing a number of changes across all versions of the site.
One of the most requested features by our readers was an enhanced photo gallery viewer for mobile phones and tablets, so we’re introducing a new version that supports swipe functions on touch screen devices.
Like many new cars these days, Carscoops has grown in size to make it more comfortable for viewers and improve the reading experience, yet thanks to all the work under the hood, it’s lighter and snappier, so it should load faster on all devices.
We’ve performed our own tests on multiple platforms, but with so many different devices around multiplied by a gazillion web-browser editions, it is possible that we missed something, so if you discover any issues, give us a nudge in the comments and we’ll investigate.
But that’s not all, as we will be tweaking and adjusting the site over the coming weeks based on your recommendations as well.
That’s all for now, take the new gal for a spin and feel free to leave any suggestions, observations and ideas in the thread below.
