Team Herald
PANJIM: Your favourite and go to website for all your news requirements on the go, especially for our dear Goans outside Goa, has undergone an exciting change, to adapt to today’s online reader.
In a mobile first web platform, the www.heraldgoa.com website has been tweaked to make it compact and contemporary, making it easier for those who read Herald online on a mobile platform.
We increasingly believe, that more readers will consume Herald’s content online on their mobiles than on desk tops and tablets, directly, or through third party platforms. This is in line with authentic studies on online traffic published in international technical journals and online platforms.
In 2018 alone, 58 per cent of site visits were from mobile devices. Mobile devices, however, made up 42 per cent of the total time spent online. The take away from this is that for quick news on the go, readers use their mobile phones but when it comes to more leisurely reading or watching videos, movies etc, a slightly more time is spent on static devices.
The new Herald website incorporates both these findings.
It’s unique card-base design gives you, at a glance, the content spread, pictures and easy to click options to open up articles.
Designed for today and a new tomorrow
When you read a story, you will over time and usage, get links to stories on the same topic, by the same author, or on the same person. You can refer to, go to our easy to access archives and read articles of the past and read them at leisure from your desktops or tablets, with equal ease.
The ‘Also read’ link takes you to other stories on the same subject or to the main subject of the story.
Citizen Journalists have direct access
Citizen reporters like you can post pictures, articles comments from the site and to the site. After a quick approval process, your comments will go live for the world to see.
And of course our ever popular epaper is always available, if you want to read Herald exactly the way, print readers do.
Therefore every experience, starting from our traditional and mother brand, the Herald newspaper to all online platforms, is available to our ever growing readers from all ages, geographies and consumption patterns.
So, take Herald wherever you go, read Herald wherever you are.
And do enjoy our new website.
