New Website design coming soon on RLNN

Red Lake Nation News (www.redlakenationnews.com) will be launching a newly redesigned website, featuring a cleaner interface, and improved exposure for online advertisers.

Many of the changes are subtle: headline and category fonts are larger and easier to see, the menus are less cluttered and other elements are easier to find. A sitemap has also been added to the bottom of the pages to simplify navigation.

Great News For Advertisers

Online ads for advertisers have also seen a major improvement.

In addition to being on the website, those ads will now automatically be included on mobile platforms.

The mobile website will remain clean and simple to use, but now, at the end of each story, ads will be pushed from the website to mobile devices, and they'll link directly to advertisers' websites,
