Boston Globe has launched a snazzy new website, in an attempt to create a more immersive news-reading experience, on a platform that appropriately features long-format journalism and better promotes a subscription-based business model. That’s all lovely for readers, but the site also has a modern, adaptive design that will make many web designers swoon (or go green with envy).
Load up the site and drag the window about; note how the newspapery and readable design effortlessly reworks its columns, and how the navigation works in its narrowest form. Lovely. We wanted to find out more, so quizzed some of the people behind the build: Filament Group’s partner Patty Toland and two designer/developers, Scott Jehl and Mat Marquis.
