The mobile-first refresh has focused on an entirely new look and feel with the design centered on user experience and content consumption. Key feature changes cover a new navigation bar, a wider desktop page, a more streamlined top stories section and a new focus on individual verticals. The page has also been optimised for fast delivery on mobile devices, recognising nine.com.au’s growing mobile audience.

It’s also been a great opportunity for us to update the underlying technology and provide the best user experience.
