Enterprise launches revamped website

Faster. A cleaner design that’s easier to navigate. Mobile-friendly. And some new features thrown in, too.

That’s the premise behind the Adirondack Daily Enterprise’s redesigned website, which launched Thursday. The site can be found online at www.adirondackdailyenterprise.com.

One of the new website’s key features is what’s known as “responsive design,” meaning it provides the same look, feel and functionality to users no matter what device is being used — desktop or mobile. The site will automatically scale and adjust to fit the device being used to view it.

Readers also can, on the homepage, sign up for the Daily Newsletter, which delivers the day’s top news and sports stories to their email each morning.

Other updated features include the following:

* A redesigned Garage Sale feature that is mobile-friendly

* A faster news content delivery system

* The ability to comment on articles through a Facebook account

* Links to the most read stories of the day and the latest stories that have been posted

* A searchable archive of tens of thousands of local news, sports and opinion articles from the past eight years.

The site features a revamped Virtual Newsroom, making it easier for readers to submit items for the newspaper.

“It’s an exciting change that will delight readers and advertisers alike,” Enterprise Publisher Catherine Moore said. “Since we constantly have the most robust local news and events on our website 24/7, it will create a huge demand by advertisers who will be able to reach the largest audience in the Adirondacks. People seeking information about our area will be attracted to our site that is now easily accessible on mobile, tablet and desktop.”

The new website retains the old one’s features such as CU photo galleries, polls and maps. Also, subscribers will still have the All Access replica edition, with which they can read the Enterprise on a mobile device or computer the same way it looks on the printed page, but loaded with digital amenities such as articles that pop up with a headline click and the ability to have stories read aloud.

“I prefer reading the e-edition, which is a replica of the printed edition of the Adirondack Daily Enterprise,” Moore said. “This tends to be another option that is growing among our subscribers as the way to read the paper on the go.”

The Enterprise, based in Saranac Lake, has been publishing in print for more than 122 years and online for more than 12 years. It is published six days a week in print and covers the Adirondack Park, especially the Tri-Lakes area in and around Saranac Lake, Tupper Lake and Lake Placid.
