So over the last 20 months I have ended up writing about a big variety of topics and I realised people probably would not want to scroll through the entire article to get to the next one. So the content on the homepage and category pages needed to be "compressed". Also the big header was taking up to much space, pushing everything down.
With that in mind, this redesign set out to achieve the following:
– Provide a cleaner layout with emphasis on content (kind of obvious but still)
– On the home page and category pages, give instant access to more content
– Improve navigation options by replacing the drop-down menu with a list of categories
– Remove social media junk (there were all sorts of buttons) that had gathered over the years
