ESPNOutdoors.com launches its new design
We, the editors of ESPNOutdoors.com, have unveiled our newly redesigned site, featuring the cleaner, simpler design and navigation experience of ESPN.com and a richer 16:9 video presence on the main index page. New advertising integrations and flexibilities have also been added to the site.
It may be shocking to you, and it might not, but either way, it will probably take some getting used to, so hang in there and search around. We have all kinds of new features and we feel this new layout makes it easier to get around and enjoy all the news, features and resources we have to offer.
The new ESPNOutdoors.com provides a better user experience, placing particular emphasis on prominently featuring content we feel Outdoors sports fans want most.
Users can now easily find the day's top stories and videos, separate tabs featuring the latest headlines and tournament news from the Bassmaster Elite Series, a dedicated section for bloggers, tournament coverage with live webcams, real-time leaderboards, tips, product reviews, techniques, Pro Angler Blogs, ESPN Outdoors Saltwater Series Coverage, Duck Trek, sweepstakes and much more.
The redesign comes on the heels of growth for ESPNOutdoors.com, currently one of the largest outdoors media websites in the country. According to comScore, we have grown more than 15 percent in average monthly unique visitors in 2009 (January-March) compared to the same time period last year.
In 2008, we averaged over 323,000 unique visitors per month and almost 5 million minutes per month -- up 32 percent and 44 percent, respectively compared to the same time frame one year prior, according to Nielsen Online.
We truly appreciate you browsing our site and continue toward our goal of offering you, the outdoorsman, a site that we all can be proud of.
Sincerely,
ESPNOutdoors.com Editors
