MUMBAI: CNN.com has launched a new site design that provides better navigation, faster download time and more depth in specific subject areas, including technology, entertainment and health news.

The site will also feature larger photographs and bolder use of colours. The goal, says CNN, was to provide a site that functions equally well for those who want news and information quickly, as well as for those who want more depth. The broadcaster claims to have made it easier to access all the relevant news and interesting features on CNN.com.

For those who have more time, the site is even richer with expanded sections and more additional information. The site was redesigned using extensive research, including user feedback. Specifically, the new design will offer the following:

User Picks - A real-time monitor presenting the top 10 stories on CNN.com, based on what users are choosing to read.

Breaking News - When news breaks or develops, users will be instantly made aware with "Breaking News" or "Developing News" banners appearing on every page of the site.

Subject Tabs - In addition to adding universal section navigation to the site, new subject tabs appear horizontally on the home page and section front pages, making it easier to find stories users are looking for.

New and Expanded Sections - CNN.com has expanded its technology coverage in a new, stand-alone section and combined science and space coverage to one section. In addition, new sub-sections have been created to provide more depth to technology, entertainment, health, world news and other coverage.
