Regional daily The Express & Star has launched a new look website in order to provide a better user experience for PC, tablet and mobile browsers.

The Wolverhampton based title has introduced software which automatically detects what dimensions of screen are being used, whilst readers will also be able to comment directly on stories whichever device they are using.

In an editorial discussing the changes the paper noted: “…if you are looking at the site on a desktop or laptop you can make the browser larger or smaller to see the effect as the site automatically rearranges itself to fit the new window size.

“And with larger, better quality images across the new site – as well as an improved navigation – Express & Star content looks better than ever online.

“On higher resolution screens, such as the iPad, the site will come alive with pixel-perfect images and swipeable galleries that make scrolling through our photographers’ best shots a breeze.

“You can now comment on stories from your mobile or tablet and, whether tied to your desk or out and about, you’ll be able to instantly share stories on Facebook and Twitter.”

The Express & Star currently receives around 51k unique daily users.
