Jeremy Olshan, the editor in chief at MarketWatch.com, writes about its upcoming redesigned website.
Olshan writes, “One complaint we heard from readers was that the front page lacked clear organization. So the new site features a top section of what our editors deem the most important and interesting stories of the moment, followed by our most popular stories and then markets, investing, retirement, personal finance and real estate sections. Notice that live stock tickers will now appear under story headlines, when relevant.
“But there’s more: Once this new home page is up and running, we will begin revamping the rest of the site, starting with our stock-quote pages, section fronts and market-data pages. And we’ll keep improving the site on a regular basis going forward.
“We didn’t take this redesign lightly. While, for many news sites, the home page has become an obsolete showpiece with steadily declining traffic, MarketWatch has bucked the trend. The page is more popular than ever.”
