New look for IPC’s Look magazine

June 3rd, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted by Laura Oliver in Magazines

IPC Media has launched a website for its fashion title Look - its first magazine site designed out of house.

The new site, launched last week, offers fashion and beauty news alongside an online shopping facility.

The design will aim to capitalise on the 77 per cent of the magazine’s readers, which research suggested, access the web every day, a press release from the publisher said.

The site will be headed by online editor Jayne Cherrington-Cook, who has previously worked with Yahoo and AOL.

Hellomagazine.com launches first blog

stilettos at dawn new blog

Hellomagazine.com has launched its first blog - a celebrity-focused effort called Stilettos At Dawn.

Launched quietly at the tail end of March, the daily blog - penned by Sapphire Carter-Brown - reflects on such necessary and weighty issues as Jude Law’s new crop and Victoria Beckham’s birthday celebrations.

The development of a blogging element - with its ability to leave comments and trackbacks - is a slight improvement on the remainder of the magazine site, which - despite a limited range of bookmarking features - remains steadfastly entrenched in a Web 1.0 world and mostly oblivious to the terms - interactivity, usability, and social media.

Despite this, Hellomagazine.com reports healthy, even hearty, traffic figures. An ABCe audit of the site in January confirmed that it was attracting over a million-and-a-half unique users per month.

Traffic to the site is expected to increase rapidly in the coming months, however.

Sources have told Journalism.co.uk that it will undergo a major revamp later in the year to introduce a host of new social media, interactivity features to connect it better with the wider web.
