Daily Mail Launches Beta Version Of Redesigned Website

The Daily Mail has launched a beta version of its redesigned website, Mail Online.

The relaunched website features content from the main site’s news, sport and showbiz sections and is updated from 9am to 7pm weekdays.

The beta version of the new look Mail Online website has been running internally for three weeks but only opened to the public this week.

Martin Clarke, editorial director of Mail Online, told Journalism.co.uk: “We just thought there is no way that in one day we can train people to use a new system, a new site and hope that the whole thing works in one.

“No newspaper’s really done this before, they usually just take a deep breath and hope for the best, which we can see from previous experiences can be a bit risky. We’ve done something quite ambitious.”

The new site directs users to a forum area where they can provide feedback to assist the developers in improving the site.
