ShanghaiDaily.com completes major revamp

Date:2009-10-10

The online department has just launched Shanghaidaily.com V5.0.

The site is considered "V5.0" because it is the fifth version of Shanghai Daily's Website. The first one was a totally fee-based Website that offered subscribers PDF file downloading services. The second version was launched around October 2005 and the next design, Version 3.0, was officially launched on January 1, 2007. The fourth version, which had been thoroughly revamped, was put into use on May 1, 2008. The current version, improved from the fourth version, was launched in October 2009.

The new version differs little from the previous one structurally, but graphically it has taken a new approach. Text blocks now look more compact and images have been enlarged. Each section has its own color identity to better stand out.

Some new functional features include:

Mobile Newspaper

Mobile phone users in Shanghai are able to receive Shanghai Daily mobile newspaper every morning. The mobile newspaper focuses on top news in Shanghai, the Yangtze River Delta and other provinces in China to feature a wide variety of local news and practical services messages with Expo coverage as its highlights. News in the mobile paper also has Chinese abstracts.

The mobile newspaper will be issued once a day in morning editions, 3 yuan a month. No GPRS fee will be charged for receiving the MMS newspaper. Forward the newspaper or click through URLs contained in the newspaper might trigger GPRS charges.

Mobile Browser Version

This is a WAP-style fast-loading version of ShanghaiDaily.com, optmized for mobile phone users with GPRS connections.
