In case you haven’t seen, we now have a brand new look! Simply forward of our twentieth anniversary, which we’ll have a good time beginning subsequent month, we’ve given ourselves a refresh throughout the board: on our web site, throughout social platforms, on our newsletters, and shortly, on our app.
First, let’s begin with what hasn’t modified. Twenty years in, we stay dedicated to masking the place to eat and why it issues. Eating places are a life pressure for therefore many communities, and throughout 23 metropolis websites, we cowl the ins and outs of the eating scene and make every day suggestions for the most effective locations to eat by way of our thoughtfully curated maps. On Eater.com, we zoom out for a nationwide (and generally world) take a look at meals tradition, bringing our eye for way of life traits into how we prepare dinner and entertain at house. And that very same sensibility interprets to our behind-the-scenes video protection on YouTube, social-first movies, in addition to our newsletter-exclusive content material.
We haven’t had a wholesale replace of our web site design since 2017, when the purpose was very a lot the identical: “Make it simpler for Eater’s viewers to determine the place to eat.” Quick ahead eight years, and our staff, led by affiliate artistic director Nat Belkov and Vox Media’s product and design consultants, has checked out each factor of how we categorical ourselves visually — leading to a streamlined new look that’s a cleaner and bolder model of the Eater you understand and love. I significantly respect the little touches we’ve sprinkled in that take inspiration from menu design, from inset corners to scotch guidelines.
Bear in mind the fast-paced weblog period while you’d continuously refresh a homepage to see the newest information of the day? As a name again to these occasions — and to extra seamlessly join the Eater universe — Eater.com now prominently options all the newest information from throughout the community on the high of the location. Plus, we’ve made it simpler to seek out a number of the protection we’re most pleased with: our maps, our themed packages, and our important pillars of protection, together with restaurant information and eating suggestions on our metropolis websites. Eater at Dwelling and Eater Journey tales from the nationwide staff are additionally entrance and middle. And it doesn’t matter what a part of Eater you’re on, the navigation bar will get you to all our websites, together with companion manufacturers Punch, Thrillist, and Gastropod.
Our targets with the brand new web site expertise aren’t that totally different from what we would like out of a restaurant. The most effective eating places are stuffed with vitality and encapsulate their neighborhood. They bring about individuals collectively, they expose us to one thing new, and so they’re acquainted but enjoyable. Welcome to the brand new Eater — we hope you agree in and keep awhile.
