Introducing The New Core77

By Stuart Constantine - February 7, 2015

Core77 has always been and will always be about community. Twenty years ago, when the internet was in its infancy, we founded Core77 to serve as an exchange; a place to discover, share and discuss all areas of design enterprise. Our hope was that making stories about good design more accessible would improve the lives not only of those in the profession, but in the wider world as well.

Today we are proud to release an all-new Core77.com, honoring our founding intentions by inviting more people to share their stories with the widest audience possible. Our new publishing platform welcomes contributions and helps connect people on many levels, inviting our audience to add their voice to the discussion of design progress. Our dedicated design and development teams spent months realizing this project, and we tip our hats to Matthew, Tim, Adeel and the entire team for their dedication and hard work.

Some of the notable upgrades include:

• New design and fully responsive layout
• A new article submission process
• Community activity, published work and a user profile displayed on your personal activity page
• Integration of multiple Core77 properties - Coroflot Jobs, Discussion Forums, Design Awards, Design Directory
• Improved resources including expanded event listings and a dedicated job board
• In-line rich-media commenting
• Customizable content feeds

Beyond the new look and functionality, our goal with all this is to activate our community. We want to discover tomorrow's thought leaders by encouraging participation from our audience. We're always looking for projects, opinion pieces, case studies and behind-the-scenes design stories to share.

These updates will greatly reinforce the vital contribution the Core77 community makes to the global design narrative. As you explore the new Core77, we invite you to share your experiences with us and tell us what you think of the updates. Your input is crucial to our progress.

The one login across the main page, discussion forums, and coroflot is awesome. I just tested it out and it works well across the platforms. Excited to see how this helps tie it all together.

When you click a post its undeniably more beautiful to look at and read. Its cool and clean. I like that there will be a bigger focus on comments.
The homepage is nice, but kinda like other sites with the grid layout all mixed together with ads and it loses a little of that old blog charm. But that being said-
I like the infinite scrolling, and discovery is vastly improved. Looking forward to the future of Core77!

I liked how posts/projects were presented loud and proud for that day...there was a sense of importance for that individual or group. I feel as if things are lost in the clutter now. It went from simplistic to turbulent.

I'm liking the new layout. Just so you know, almost every image in your RSS feed has the caption "Enter a caption (optional)"

Commenting really was one of the worst aspects of the old c77. This new "Quartz" style commenting is pretty sweet. Overall the new site is a little disorienting, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Nice work guys!
