TechCrunch unveils new website

Connie Loizos, the general manager and editor in chief of TechCrunch, wrote about the tech news site’s new design.

Loizos writes, “Missing for a long time was a sleeker, faster, more immersive interface that made it easier for you to surface all of these things.

When news breaks, we’ll now be able to break down every second of it for you.

“It’s been a long time coming. Back in 2018, when TC last saw any kind of refresh, we didn’t have the resources or bandwidth to layer in loads of functionality. The resulting product was almost brutally utilitarian, but as a media company, what you need most is for your stories to go out, and out they went.

“Still, over time, that system began to falter until, by last year, the site’s back-end architecture was crumbling pretty dramatically behind the scenes. Clearly, it was time for a change.”
