During the weekend of November 9-10 the Bluffton Icon will transition to a new streamlined, 2-column design. During that window of opportunity, we’ll also be on an extended Veteran’s Day weekend holiday with content for both websites on pause except for breaking news, including sports.
The design includes several new features:
- Scrolling ticker on top of all pages for breaking news and special announcements
- Photo galleries at the top of articles
- Announcement ads “above the fold” (the middle of home page)
- PDF attachment option for classified ads
The design will resemble the current website in many ways and will be easy for returning viewers to navigate.
The Ada Icon will also be updated with the new design on a date to be announced. Our next step will be unveiling a one-column Icon design for mobile devices.
