EDITORIAL INTRO FOR ISSUE 203

“The biggest change we’ve got lined up for the magazine is a major overhaul of our Gallery section”

Over the next few issues you may notice some changes to the magazine. This month, we’ve made a few minor improvements to our front section. These include the addition of mobile app reviews, and some design tweaks (which you probably won’t notice, but that make us feel much happier about things).

However, the biggest change we’ve got lined up is a major overhaul of our Gallery section, which will be introduced next issue. This will now include a number of dedicated section editors covering new sites and techniques in the worlds of CSS, HTML5, JavaScript, mobile, plug-ins and content management systems. Amongst our new section editors will be Bruce Lawson, Remy Sharp, Nick Francis, Patrick McNeil and Inayaili de León.

As of next issue we’ll also be introducing a new ecommerce page, which will be written by Fadi Shuman, one of our advisory panel and an expert in the field. So there’s plenty to get excited about. Enjoy the issue!
